Dam Quarry Campground is an angler's paradise. Located in northern Arkansas, just downstream of the Norfork Dam, the campground is renowned for its world-class trout fishing. The Norfork Lake region was one of the state's first water recreation areas with opportunities like water skiing, canoeing, scuba diving, and of course, fishing.
While fishing is the top-rated activity in the lower river area, kayaking, birding and hiking are also very popular. The public land around Norfork keeps hunters busy with white-tailed deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit and quail.
The campground sits at the banks of the North Fork River and Dry Run Creek. The river feeds the popular 22,000-acre Norfork Lake, which is just upstream from Dam Quarry. The site has beautiful views of the forested hills and hollows of the Ozarks.
A short drive south takes visitors to the Ozark National Forest for sightseeing and wildlife spotting. The campground is also just three miles northeast of the small town of Norfork.
Cancellations up to 2 days before a reservation start date incur a $10.00 cancellation fee.

Robinson Point is one of the most popular parks in the central portion of Norfork Lake. The 102 campsites are sprawled across two peninsulas, so waterfront campsites are plentiful. The hilly lake region is a playground for visitors young and old, with water and land activities galore.
Swimming, hiking and all types of boating are favorite pastimes for lake-goers. Coves are ideal for water skiers while the breezy, open areas provide excellent conditions for sailing. In-season hunting is also popular here.
Norfork Lake, a 22,000-acre recreation lake, stems from the North Fork River in northern Arkansas. The lake is about 25 miles east of Bull Shoals Lake, and cuts through the Ozark Mountains. The Ozarks Range, in geological terms, is a heavily eroded plateau. It was shaped and carved by hundreds of streams over several thousand years, creating beautiful rugged terrain.
Head south to the Ozark National Forest to explore 1.2 million acres of protected Ozark terrain. There, visitors can tour the Blanchard Springs Caverns, a living cave still in the process of formation.

The campground and the shower house/bathrooms were very nice and clean. The site we had was on a hill so I wouldn’t pick that one again.Most are flat. They have a yurt that you can rent and a deck with a heavy duty tent over it close to the water. If you want to walk nearby and get in the water it is rocky so bring your water shoes! There is a marina store nearby if you need something. We would camp here again.
GuideBeautiful location. Lots to do at the campground like hiking, biking, and kayaking. I did some kayak fishing but didn’t have any luck. Only about 15 minutes from downtown Branson Missouri so great location to do some tourist stuff as well. I will be back.
TravelerTable rock is one of the cleanest lakes to go to around Missouri. Table Rock state park allows for some amazing opportunities to expand your knowledge and your children's knowledge of the wildlife, and outdoors. Great family trip and the sunsets and sunrises are ones you don't want to miss!

If you’re traveling through southern Missouri and looking for a park to stay in, this is a great choice! Right off the interstate and easy to get in to. Site are graveled and level, and most are full hookups. The majority also have picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of potty spots for the babies scattered throughout the park and a 25 acre trail area. John, the owner, is a great guy! Friendly and welcoming, he keeps the park well maintained. Will definitely be using again!
RangerStayed here on a motorcycle trip in May 2018 and had some beautiful weather. The campsite was large with an asphalt path and a nice spot for my tent. First weekend in May and the park was pretty much full. My campsite close to the facilities. It was a nice state park campground, similar to all of the others in Missouri as far as amenities. Cell phone service and lots of walking paths. Close to lakes, the Arkansas border, and Branson was just 15 minutes away.

There seems to be two camping areas, but one was inaccessible due to flooding when I visited. The campground at the Marina was nice, wooded with level dedicated tent pads, nice picnic tables with firepits and prep tables next to level parking pads. This location is great for boaters because the marina is right there. Awesome spot to watch the sun rise or set over the water. It’s a short walk to a bathroom with flush toilets(no showers). The only downside is that it is shared with boaters, so it would be a really good idea to wear shoes to the bathroom. There’s a nice floating bar with light food in the public area of the marina if you want to get a drink or something light(bar food) to eat. Make sure to make reservations well in advance, as this campground is so popular that getting a site as a walk up is highly unlikely.
GuideGreat Place to Relax
TravelerNice park, water and electric at the site. Some sites are a little close but not bad. Weekend campers mostly, very friendly.
Traveler
The sites are private and shaded, lots of trees. Sites are right on the river so you can hear it rushing as you fall asleep. Beautiful scenery with good hiking nearby. Sites are first come, first served, but so worth the risk! We LOVED it!!
GuideWhat a great place just spent last four days there , great swimming for adults and kids , has a really nice spring and all
GuideLoved this area. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of tree coverage for camp sites. Lots of water access. The spring is gorgeous. Nice hiking
RangerWas not a busy campground but it was October and a gloomy weather, quiet.
RangerOn North Fork river, open sites w fire pits. Best for tents n small rigs, vault toilets. No other facilities, river is popular for water activities, kayaking, canoe, river trips fishing.
Scout
We stayed here for a week! We loved it! Nice and beautiful view over the water! Very clean! I’ll be staying here again next year!
LegendBeautiful mature camp. Water abounds for all types of recreational activities. Campground has all the basic needs and is well maintained. Nice bathrooms and showers. Reservations only and if there has been a lot of rain some sites could be under water
ScoutSite was a little hard to get into and a little tight with the pavillion there providing the only shade. T-mobile cell serve was very good.
Guide
Kayaking, swimming, and fishing were great!
LegendThis would be five stars except for lack of showers. Beautiful site right on beautiful lake. Short distance from town. Small park mature trees.
LegendThis is a wonderful small campground. Will not handle large rigs. Better suited to smaller trailers or tents. Right on the water so it is great if you have a kayaks or similar. Arkansas is experiencing flooding at this time and we were fortunate that our site was not flooded. We are gets more rain this evening and tonight so many sites here are closed. This is a COE campground and very well maintained. Flush toilets and garbage service but no showers. Not a problem because there are other CIE campgrounds very close and just keep your yellow tag up and just wave to host and drive on in. Mountain Home is close do all the shopping is close.

Hi camp several times and Robinson. During the summer. If you own a boat, Lake Norfork is the place to be. It offers a big like to boat on or fish. Or you can rent pontoons boat JetSki‘s in assessor he‘s at any one of the multiple marine is located around the lake . The campsites are maintained by the Corps of Engineers and/or updated periodically. Many sites have views of the lake to just sit and watch the activities on the like. Very relaxing. Fish from the 550 miles of shoreline or get in your boat and enjoy the wide open areas of the like. We can’t ground offers electric water but no sewer hook ups there is a dump station available. The attendance are very friendly and helpful and the cost are very minimal compared to other campgrounds. Hope to see you there.
ScoutI stayed there with my family and had a blast. The people that worked there were nice and helpful.
TravelerWe have camped here a couple times and planning to return again. Most sites are level with electric and water hookup however no sewer only a dump station. In the spring of 2020 many sites were under water from the spring rain.
GuideI think, if they came and upgraded the site with better pad for the modem rvs, this could be a prime location. Bathrooms are clean and have showers, some site's are really close together which is crazy when you see how much room is here. But, most site's you can see the lake with a few backwards, meaning your door will face away from the lake, some site's are smaller then they say they are, but people will make it work.
LegendBeautiful park set in a peaceful setting with mature trees allowing for a lot of shade very nice bathroom with flush toilets and very good shower areas. Playgrounds a boat ramp dump station. Need to have reservations and on holidays be prepared for major crowds. This park is on the water so be aware of how much rain the area is getting. Some sites were underwater
RangerAnother great COE park. Only two shower houses & the one we used was very clean & in good condition. Campsites on "the Island" are very barron with no shade at all, but close to the water. Good cell rception both ATT & Verizon. Most all sites are relatively level and have asphalt ramps with concrete pads. Very close, 7 or 8 miles out of Maoountain Home.
Traveler
Knowledgeable staff, quiet park right next to the river. Not all sites have campfire rings but they are available. We brought our own with an ample supply of firewood. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone
TravelerThis is probably an excellent site in spring or fall. However summertime is hot at the site because of the lack of shade trees. Site 15 is by the water and has a large area for dogs or family. There is a staircase down to the water next to site 8. The fishing is good. It’s a pet friendly site however if your dogs bark neighbors will complain. The manager is friendly. They do not have trash pick up service; you just take your trash to a dumpster at the end of the camp, which is not a big deal. No grill available but has picnic tables and fire ring. WI-FI aid very good.
