Our Take
What makes Cove Creek (AR) special
Cove Creek campground occupies a sheltered inlet on Greers Ferry Lake in the Ozark Mountains near Quitman, Arkansas, where a forested peninsula creates a sense of seclusion that larger lakeside campgrounds rarely match. The cove setting means calmer waters right at your doorstep, ideal for kayaking, swimming, and fishing from shore without battling boat wakes. Greers Ferry Lake is renowned for its clarity and diverse fishery — bass, walleye, and trout all thrive here. Wooded hiking trails branch out from the area, winding through oak-hickory forests alive with songbirds in spring. May through October is the prime camping window, with September and October delivering warm days, cool nights, and spectacular fall color across the Ozark ridges. Grab sites early on summer weekends, as the campground's reputation for quiet beauty draws repeat visitors. Cove Creek is a natural fit for families seeking a calmer lakeside experience, kayakers, shore anglers, and anyone who values a peaceful Ozark retreat over a bustling marina scene.
