Willow Beach

About

Willow Beach Campground is a US Army Corps of Engineers recreation area located along the Arkansas River near the David D. Terry Lock and Dam in Pulaski County, Arkansas. The campground occupies a scenic position on a narrow peninsula between the river and Willow Lake, with water views from most of the 21 sites. The forested setting provides shade and opportunities to spot wildlife including red fox, deer, and armadillo. All campsites feature paved surfaces that can accommodate RVs up to 60+ feet, with electric service (20, 30, and 50 amp) and water hookups at every site. Each site includes a covered picnic table and fire ring. Campground amenities include hot showers, a dump station, boat ramp, and playground. Three group picnic shelters are also available for day-use reservations. The location near the lock and dam creates excellent fishing opportunities in the tailwaters and old river cutoffs, with bass, crappie, bream, and catfish commonly caught. Little Rock is just minutes away for supplies, groceries, and restaurants.
