Overview

Dam Quarry Campground is an angler's paradise. Located in northern Arkansas, just downstream of the Norfork Dam, the campground is renowned for its world-class trout fishing.

The Norfork Lake region was one of the state's first water recreation areas with opportunities like water skiing, canoeing, scuba diving, and of course, fishing.

Recreation

While fishing is the top-rated activity in the lower river area, kayaking, birding and hiking are also very popular.

The public land around Norfork keeps hunters busy with white-tailed deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit and quail.

Facilities

Kids will enjoy the playground and everyone will find fun in the water. A boat ramp is on-site and a marina is located just above the dam. Everything but the group sites have electric hookups.

Natural Features

The campground sits at the banks of the North Fork River and Dry Run Creek. The river feeds the popular 22,000-acre Norfork Lake, which is just upstream from Dam Quarry. The site has beautiful views of the forested hills and hollows of the Ozarks.

Nearby Attractions

A short drive south takes visitors to the Ozark National Forest for sightseeing and wildlife spotting. The campground is also just three miles northeast of the small town of Norfork.

Cancellations up to 2 days before a reservation start date incur a $10.00 cancellation fee.

The access to the water is wonderful. Staying on a site along the water was peaceful at night and stunning in the morning. The hook-ups were convenient and access to the dam, the lake, the River, and Creek were so great!

Not all sites have year round water. Staff told me the frost proof faucets were never all installed and have been sitting in a storage building 15 years. The main shower house need a complete redo, just disgusting. Grass always needs mowing, trees need trimming. Staff told me on site 4, a limb fell through a camper from the dead tree.
