About
Cherokee Campground sits on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake in the Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the campground provides 30 sites across three loops (A, B, and C), with 16 sites offering electric hookups (30/50 amp) and 14 standard non-electric sites. Each site accommodates up to 8 people and 2 vehicles. The area is densely forested with red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan, and sweet gum trees, providing ample shade in summer and vibrant colors in autumn. Wildlife is plentiful, with white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and various bird species commonly seen. Greers Ferry Lake offers over 30,000 acres of water for boating, fishing, water skiing, swimming, and scuba diving. Hikers can access three National Nature Trails and a multi-purpose fitness trail nearby. The William Carl Garner Visitor Center, located near the dam, features exhibits and a replica of the world-record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in the Little Red River.
