The Best Camping Near Arkansas River - Terry Lock and Dam, Arkansas

Not far from the wildlife refuge and highway 94\. Very simple campground, really only fishing here. This was a simple stayover for us and it worked for that...I wouldn’t recommend it as a destination unless you want to fish all day.

Yay: full bait house and cafe, swimming (not the best swimming ever), cabin options too.

Nay: it’s deep in farm country so doesn’t feel as much like a park, small sites

Surprise: the sunrise over the lake made this memorable. No idea what "Toad Suck Ferry Pool" means lol.

Simple site in farmland 

Quiet place with very friendly staff. Don’t forget the great eats from the Dak.

Quiet and Clean!!

Have to give this a low review from the experience we had while staying the night of July 6th. It was a full campground and might of been nice with the exception of several groups staying at the campground. Teens staying up till 3pm being loud and racing around on a golf cart. Intoxicated adults taking lap after lap around the campground in the back of a pickup yelling and swearing at campers that didn't wave back to them. Another group in the campground setting off fireworks until midnight. Zero attempts by camp host to quiet these individuals. Our group of Scouts were besides themselves and have no desire to ever camp in North Dakota again. Other wise this might have been a nice place to stay.

Poorly behaved campers

Sayed in a 36 ft 5th wheel and had no issues getting it setup, although the ground was far from level, we managed.  Went with 2 other families worh neighboring camp sites. Some sites have sewer hookups, most, including ours, did not.  Our site was all sand/gravel but the rest seemed to be grass.  Nice little bar/resturant on site with free wifi.  Basically no cell service.  Decent swimming with boat landing.  Small playground for kids.
