Sylamore Creek Camp

Another Great Stay on Sylamore Creek

We stayed at Sylamore Creek Camp July 3–6, in site 25. The pull-through spot made it easy to drop the camper and get set up quickly, which we really appreciated after a long drive.

We did run into some electrical issues with the 30-amp hookup, but the staff was fantastic—quick to respond and very helpful. They explained that the campground had been flooded and all the poles had been rewired, which made sense. The 30-amp was showing reverse polarity, but they got us switched over to the 50-amp, and everything worked perfectly after that.

The area by the White River could use a little grading and leveling—it’s a bit bumpy in places—but it wasn’t a huge problem for us. This was actually our second time staying here, and we keep coming back because the river is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect spot for paddle boarding or kayaking, and our dog had the time of his life splashing around.

One thing to note: both times we’ve stayed, there were quite a lot of flies, so it’s a good idea to bring fly traps or repellents.

Overall, we had another great experience. The staff’s friendliness and the gorgeous river make this a wonderful place to stay, and we’ll definitely be back again.

I got a primitive spot down by the creek, and it was perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend! Just beautiful! I loved watching the bald eagles flying over the creek. It was quiet, clean, well-maintained, and felt secure. And very nice that someone drove around the camp asking if we needed anything. I requested firewood, and it was there when I got back from the folk festival (I sent $5 through Venmo and a little tip for it.)
There are so many cool things to do nearby, wonderful vacation spot for a family. I was with a friend for this trip, but want to come back and bring the family next time.

Loved this campground! I held a womens camping meet up here and they took great care of us all. Beautiful scenery on the Sylamore Creek, great location to Mountain View Arkansas and other Ozark places such as Blanchard Springs and Mirror Lake falls. If they had more showers they would have gotten a 5. Camp sites had lots of room and some on the creek!

We were supposed to be camping here for 2 weeks. We left without a refund after 1 week. Bathrooms are nasty. Sites and interior roads need some gravel for rain runoff and pothole control along with cutting of low hanging and dead tree branches . Rules are not upheld. Many dogs off leash. Multiple campers coming in late at night. Noisy late into the night with kids running around screaming at 2 am. Doesn’t help that sites are very close together with most, on weekends, having many tents and people per site. Way too expensive for what it is.

Very rude woman behind the counter. Instead of letting me walk out she told me not to be rude when I wasn't. Definitely would not recommend coming here to anyone. You can go up the road for Free
