Quarry Cove

QUARRY COVE CAMPGROUND, 6789 HWY 60 WEST
PLAINVIEW, AR 72857

Overview

Quarry Cove Campground sits along the shores of Nimrod Lake and Dam, cradled between Arkansas' Ouachita and Ozark Mountains. Visitors are greeted with shaded campsites, beautiful scenery and many outdoor recreation opportunities. Nimrod Lake provides the ideal spot to get away from it all, relax and enjoy yourself.

Recreation

Fishing is one of the most popular activities at the lake, with an abundance of catfish, bluegill, bass and crappie available. Boating, water skiing and tubing are also popular, with 11 boat ramps conveniently located around the lake, however, skiing and tubing are only allowed from the tip of Carden Point eastward toward the dam because areas west of there are too hazardous. Campers are likely to spot white-tailed deer, eastern wild turkey, bobwhite quail, squirrel, rabbit, fox, mink, black bear, dove and waterfowl in the area. Seasonal hunting is also permitted throughout the lake, except in or near recreation areas.

Facilities

With 31 spacious and modern campsites and one large day use group picnic shelter, Quarry Cove Campground has plenty of room for the family. A swimming beach, boat ramp and playground are also provided.

Natural Features

Nimrod Dam was completed in 1942 as part of a comprehensive plan for flood control and development of water resources in the Fourche LaFave River. Although recreation was not part of the initial mission of the dam project, the lake and surrounding 21,000 acres of pristine land have now become a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts.

Nearby Attractions

Nimrod Lake is conveniently located adjacent to State Highway 7, a National Scenic Byway and other nearby points of interest like Petit Jean State Park, Mount Nebo State Park and Hot Springs National Park.

Due to budget cuts for the parks, be prepared for tall grass, nasty bathrooms, and animals at the campsites. With very little maintenance nature is over taking the land and the wild life are taking advantage of that. If you go on the lake, stay in the channel, out of the channel depth is roughly 4ft deep.

Everything was wonderful. The campsite, the amenities of water and electricity, bathrooms were generally clean, the hosts were very nice and friendly....everything was great except the cell service was terrible. Even being up on the highest hill, even with 2 bars, it took many tries to send a simple text to family members.
