Our Take

What makes Cherokee Campground (AR) special

Cherokee Campground anchors the western shore of Greers Ferry Lake in the heart of the Arkansas Ozarks, delivering 32 sites that mix electric hookups with more rustic standard spots. The lake itself is the real draw — over 31,000 acres of remarkably clear water nestled among forested Ozark ridges, perfect for fishing walleye and bass, boating, and swimming at nearby beaches. Hiking trails wind through hardwood forests where spring wildflowers put on a spectacular show. The campground has a genuine family-camping feel, with enough space between sites to maintain privacy and enough amenities to keep things comfortable. Late spring through early fall is prime time, though autumn weekends offer stunning foliage and smaller crowds. Book electric sites well ahead of summer holiday weekends — they go fast. Cherokee Campground is tailor-made for families with kids, anglers targeting Greers Ferry's trophy trout and bass, and anyone seeking a classic Ozark Mountains lake camping experience.
