Our small group of riders camped at Beaver Lake Dam and we loved it. The campground was well maintained and clean, quiet time was enforced and a park ranger let us have firewood that was left at a campsite. The group wants to make sure we camp there every time we go to north Arkansas.

Wow!
We wished that we booked the extra nights, this campground is so beautifully setup around the water with all having amazing views!
Plus, the bathroom area was so clean! It felt like a luxury after backcountry hiking and camping before we got there!

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful campground! The rocky ground and the wind made it very difficult to set up our tent though. Just something to be aware of.

Picnic table covered in grease; we tried to wash it but didn't work well, needs to be powerwashed. lots of trash on the ground. Great campsite location overlooking the lake, large spot with room for tents. fire pit on this site is RIGHT NEXT to the asphalt drive for the neighboring site 28. when they left sunday morning it was very disruptive as we had to sit on the drive to be near the fire; they almost hit my dog and our 3 young kids that were near the fire as they didn't warn us that they were about to start moving their truck and rv. the bathrooms ran out of tp on sat afternoon, latrines didn't have lights at night. another site had a loose dog that kept coming over to our site (our dogs were on leash or rope at ALL times.) overall we enjoyed our stay but will choose a diff site where the firepit isn't on the road.

The site was lovely! Neighbors were considerate with their noise. The weather turned out to be perfect. It's always fun to go in to Eureka Springs and eat on Sparky's back porch. We enjoy the Thai restaurant as well. Turpentine Creek is a must see! We love that the campsites are so close to the water.
