Cove Creek

About

Cove Creek Park occupies a wooded peninsula on Greers Ferry Lake, a 31,500-acre reservoir in the Ozark foothills of north-central Arkansas. The campground is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and offers 48 sites spread across two loops, with 28 sites featuring 30-amp electric service and 20 non-electric sites. Sites accommodate RVs and trailers up to 47 feet and include shade coverage. Modern amenities include flush and vault toilets, hot showers, potable drinking water, and an RV dump station. Each site permits up to 8 occupants and allows campfires and pets on leash. A swim beach provides a designated swimming area, while a concrete boat ramp offers convenient access to the lake for boating, fishing, water skiing, and scuba diving. The surrounding area features a dense mix of red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan, and sweet gum trees, providing shade in summer and fall color in autumn. Wildlife is abundant, including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and various bird species. The William Carl Garner Visitor Center near the dam has exhibits and a replica of the world-record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in the Little Red River.
