Gorgeous location. Plan in advance. Be aware, the HOST will say water is available at each site, but not all sites have water at them. There are shared spigot within short distances across drives and roadways for some of the sites. The site photos available do not should steep embankments, sharp turns, and obstacles that WILL be issues for RV and trailers over 25 foot in length, even though the accepted length may be advertised up to 40 feet. Sites 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 fall into this category

Our site was just above the lake. Access to our site was steep and only suitable for small RVs.

Loved our spot (#9) at Dam Site Lake Campground. We had great access to the lake and beautiful sunsets each evening during our stay.

We had site 28 and it is not advertised as a buddy site, but it definitely is! It shares a short driveway with site 29, and the two sites are just a few feet apart. It needs to be advertised as such!! The driveway was short & barely fit 2 trucks. Sits 29 was teeny tiny. Luckily our friend was in that site otherwise it would have been super awkward bc you're so close. Also thankfully he had a truck bed camper otherwise a trailer would have stuck out into the driveway. You cannot tell this based off the pictures either. Very misleading online when you go to book. Otherwise it's a beautiful, quiet campground. It was very windy though! I expected some wind being on the lake but it was very windy all 5 days we were there. There is a swimming beach and the water is clear. Overall nice campground!

The review is stuck on five stars-not deserving of that, Id say three stars. There were so many flies at our site32- a ridiculous amount-and that really ruined the experience. This place has the potential to be awesome.

We had a great time at our site, #15. The park staff were very friendly and accommodating. The views are great and it's nice being right on the water and so close to Eureka Springs if you want to run into town to get something. The park was clean and the grass was mowed and kept well. My particular site and few other sites close to us are very difficult to pull large campers into. We ended up having water, but most in our area didn't as well as no sewer hook-ups is kind of a bummer, but there's a dump station directly across the street from the park. I would defiantly stay there again.

Fantastic site number 9! Great views! Park was well managed. Wish they had showers and flush toilets on both sides. Bathroom was clean though and showers had hot water.

This was our maiden voyage and we couldn’t ask for a better location. Clean facilities and excellent accommodations. Our location had 30 amp and 50 amp along with clean water.

Most disgusting pit toilet I’ve ever seen from a natural perspective - drain flies coated all surfaces. Water at campsite but not near “toilets”? Nice lake views.
