Dam Site Park is located at Greers Ferry Dam at the foot of Round Mountain in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas. The environment provides the ideal location for family camping, fishing, boating and hiking.
Greers Ferry Lake is an outdoor enthusiasts' dream, with boating, sailing, water skiing, swimming, scuba diving and fishing opportunities. Hikers enjoy the area's three National Nature Trails and one multi-purpose fitness trail.
The William Carl Garner Visitor Center is just west of the dam, with exhibits, a children's touch table, and a replica of the world record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in the Little Red River downstream of the center.
This large campground offers 211 sites, 131 of which offer electric hookups, with 40 having water and electric hookups.
Additional amenities include flush and vault toilets, showers, a dump station, playground, marina, swimming area and a boat ramp.
A dense mix of red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan and sweet gum trees forest the area, providing shade in the summer months and beautiful fall colors during autumn.
Wildlife is plentiful around Greers Ferry Lake. Visitors commonly see white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and a wide variety of birds.

With over 30,000 acres of water surface, the lake serves as a playground for all kinds of water sports. Eighteen parks around the shoreline provide modern campgrounds, boat ramps, swim areas and marinas.

The Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery, in Heber Springs, located below the dam, offers free tours. Built in 1965, the hatchery produces about one million rainbow trout a year for restocking the Little Red and other Arkansas streams.
From Heber Springs, AR, take SR-25 3 miles north and follow signs to the campground.
Kayaking just a short distance from the marina to the right. There are some really nice coves for setting up a picnic and spending some private time.
Loved being here one of the many Corp of engineers parks. I hope they are all this beautiful.
A great place to cool off and have a fun day in the water including cliff diving. The swimming area has many amenities including playground, sand beaches, restrooms, BBQ grills, covered pavilions, picnic tables and clear walkways.
I've finally found the holy grail of camp spots out there and will choose the ones we chose every time! Kept up place the old bathrooms are a lil low quality but the new ones with the showers they've added are in great shape! U need to bring your own firewood with u ice can be found right before you turn into the camp/dam site only bummer is you still have to pay to swim even though u are paying to stay on their camp ground and it's $5 a day
We came for the cliff jumping!
There’s short cliffs that the kids were jumping off and higher cliffs for those a little more brave. There’s also an area you can walk into the water. The bottom is large rocks and soooo nice!
There were picnic tables under trees & bathrooms weren’t too far. There’s 2 showers and 2 stalls and it was clean.
Overall it’s a really great place to swim
