Nimrod Lake

3 Hwy 7 South
Plainview, AR 72857-9600

Cradled between the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains, Nimrod Lake is popular with fishermen and hunters alike. Six parks nestled along the lake provide modern camping facilities and an opportunity to relax amid the groves of tall, sweet-scented pines. Nimrod 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.

We had a fun weekend camping with family. The campground was clean and all the sites looked taken care of. I really appreciated the bath room facilities and showers were very clean. The campground host was super friendly, helpful and gave us a few tips for future visits. We plan on camping there again.

Loved this campground, it is a smaller area which we love and the camp hosts were awesome. They really care about keeping the grounds clean and maintained especially the bathrooms. These are the cleanest bathrooms we have ever used. We visited other areas around this lake and the hosts for the other areas need to take lessons from the couple at Carter Cove. We will definitely be back.

Keep your options open

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Nimrod Lake.

Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in November, when about 1% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 4 years of reservations.
