Springhill Park sits along John Paul Hammerschmidt Lake in the lush, rolling hills of Arkansas. Campers come here for boating, birding and relaxing.

Avid mountain bikers enjoy the Springhill Park Mountain Bike Trail, a 10-mile "fast" trail where experienced bikers race frequently. The trail is also a designated National Recreation Trail.

Recreation

Year-round fishing for catfish, bream, crappie and white and largemouth bass is fantastic in the fertile waters of the Arkansas. From late fall until early spring, the tailwaters immediately below the lock and dam boasts some of the best sauger fishing in the country.

Facilities

Springhill Park offers several spacious sites with electric hookups, along with four large group picnic shelters. Additional amenities include showers, a dump station, playground and boat ramps.

Natural Features

John Paul Hammerschmidt Lake is on the James W. Trimble Lock and Dam of the Arkansas River. Some campsites line the river while others sit between the lake and Massard Creek.

Bottomland hardwood timber banks, steep bluffs and open agricultural fields create the scenery.

Nearby Attractions

The Fort Smith Museum of History is located about 20 minutes away.

Site is 5 inches off level; dumpster hinders access to site. Should relocate dumpster to high ground opposite showers with 8 inch concrete apron and turn out.

This CG happened to be in the "right place, right time" for me on a XC drive. The price was great, included hookups. There is an easy but nice MTB trail which was an added bonus, plus on-site fishing. My particular site was fair: the firepit has seen better days and there was some litter that I had to pick up. The CG is adjacent to a bridge that produces loud noise when vehicles run over the expansion joints so bring earplugs if you are tent camping. Overall great value for the money but otherwise not a return destination for me.

We stumbled on this park looking for a place to plug in our RV while traveling. What a quiet beautiful place. We enjoyed the woods and nature trails. Everything seemed well maintained. Very grateful for our public parks and campgrounds.
