Cherokee Campground

Can a campground offer both serene natural beauty and seamless access to exciting outdoor recreation? Cherokee Recreation Area Campground, located on the northeastern shore of Greers Ferry Lake in north-central Arkansas, does just that. This welcoming destination is surrounded by a picturesque mix of red cedar, oak, and gum trees, providing shade and bursts of vibrant color during the fall. The campground serves as an ideal starting point for water enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

The 33 campsites are thoughtfully designed for a range of campers, with 17 offering electrical hookups and the rest catering to those seeking a more rustic experience. On-site amenities include vault toilets, drinking water, a dump station, and a convenient boat launch. The lake itself is a haven for activities such as boating, sailing, water skiing, fishing, and even scuba diving. Whether you're here for a weekend adventure or an extended vacation, the abundant wildlife, including deer and wild turkeys, adds to the charm.

Situated between Drasco and the town of Greers Ferry, this campground is just a short drive from key attractions like the William Carl Garner Visitor Center. At the visitor center, you can explore exhibits and learn about the area’s record-setting brown trout. With its mix of quiet seclusion, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities, Cherokee Recreation Area Campground is perfectly suited for active families, couples, or solo campers seeking to connect with nature.
