What Guests Are Saying
Dam - Quarry campground is praised for its beautiful scenery, well-kept grounds, and great trout fishing in the Norfork River. Many campers appreciate the spacious sites and friendly park staff, with several expressing a strong desire to return. However, there are concerns about the cleanliness of the bathrooms and some facilities needing maintenance, which some attribute to the behavior of other campers rather than park management.

This is by far the best "full service" campground I have ever been to. Each site has water and electric. There is one dump-station in the campground.
Many of the campsites are right on the river, and those that aren't are a short walk. The fishing was fantastic, and Dry Run Creek was a blast for by under-16 angler. If you are not familiar with Dry Run Creek, it is catch and release and for anglers under 16 only. Monster trout.
Floating/wading the river - We only waded the river when there was no hydro generation going. We did very well near the boat ramp and also in front of campsite 19. We floated the entire length of the NorthFork in sit on top kayaks as well as a Colorado XT fishing pontoon. We did this at zero generation with minimum bottom drag, and again with two generators running. Two generators ran swift but easy to navigate. It took 1.5 hours at two.
Restrooms - Excellent! - I have never seen this sort of restroom set up. All restrooms are male/female but private. Each exterior door in a 4 to 6 toilet building leads to a heated and cooled private restroom with shower, sink, toilet, bench, and mirror. If they had one more of these restroom buildings it would be perfect; not because they were always full, but because of the walk to get to them in some situations.
Hatchery - there is a hatchery directly across the road that is a must see. It closes at 3:30 so hit this first and then walk down to Cry Run Creek.
Nearby you can have an awesome breakfast at "Norfork Cafe", and later have a great lunch at "Heidi's Ugly Cakes and Sandwiches". We actually bought one of Heidi's award winning "Holy Cow " Cakes for my dad's birthday while we where there. WOW!
The nearest town to get supplies at "regular prices is Mountain Home 13 miles away. They will have all the major big box stores and restaurants.
Calico Rock has a free museum which we found very worth while, with many of the exhibits hands-on. Stop by the ice cream shop next door if you go

This is one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to, and I've been to many. In fact I extended my stay for a few more days.
The fishing was excellent right at the camp ground, and we enjoyed kayaking down the river on a couple occasions (arrange your own shuttle or call Adventure Outdoors in Norfolk to make arrangements).
The bathrooms were excellent and surprisingly private. Each door has its own toilet, sink, shower, and bench. They are also air conditioned and heated, which is very rare.
The proximity to town is very convenient if you need to buy some forgotten essentials.
The only improvements I can think of is that an ice vending machine located within the campground would be a huge asset for the park.

The bath house was pretty nasty. Rest of the place was nice. Mowing started pretty early. Would have been nice to sleep past 8 am on vacation.

We had a nice stay. Easy pull through site.
Storm came through and wiped out power for a bit, then we couldn’t get 50 amp anymore. We switched over to 30 amp and it worked.

Excellent experience! The light on the post near site 36 needs to be on a timer. It was kinda like sleeping under the sun.

Well maintained camp ground, which is typical of COE's that I've been to. Beautiful area of the state of Arkansas and great trout fishing.
