The lake, Marina campsites are wonderful. Great showers close to downtown Heber Springs. Don’t expect much out of Heber Springs. It’s a poor city with thrift stores and other rift raft. Used to be a nice place only if you take out places and maybe two privately owned restaurants with shifty hours and small menus
