We were there for 5 nights and the bathrooms weren't cleaned until the 5th afternoon. And that was done by a ranger! I think they have better things to do. What happened to the contract people? I remember when the host actually did SOMETHING. They're are 2 host campers up there doing almost nothing!

We used our Wright's guide to Corps of Engineers campgrounds to find this campground, and the directions were all mixed up. We were at the end of a long day of driving and had to turn around twice. The signs are not posted clearly enough, and that was a problem. The campground itself was lovely.

We love camping at Dam Site River. It was the 1st time camping up near the dam we usually camp down below. We loved how one day the water was released at a 2 and the water flow was moving and the next day it was off and we could just float and enjoy the view of nature and water. I think the only thing that wasn't great were the ticks and there was a concrete vehicle stop right next to our picnic table which we had to step over all the time. That is a hazard and dangerous for anyone day or night.

Bring plenty of tick spray and check your children. We have camped here in the past. This May they are bad.

Very nice and quiet place, we loved the fact that we could walk down the river from our campsite.
The bathrooms were not very clean, showers were weird.

We loved the campsite we had close to the rest room and access point to the river. The sites are shady and the grounds well tended. Take a trip into Eureka Springs to eat and enjoy the historic sights.
