Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

99 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Greenbrier, AR
Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here. The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins. On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time. And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. New to camping? Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and daily shower? Hate bugs, hate thorns, or hate wild critters? Or simply don't like being outside and in a primitive setting? Then this may NOT be the place!! But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be. Pinnacle Springs also offers riverside camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40). Camp by the side of a river. Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff. Camp in a cave. Camp in a riparian jungle. Camp in total solitude or camp with all your friends and family. We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits their needs. And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience" and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too. No traffic noise here! Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive. Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site. And if you like to swing -- we have trees! Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever! And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty. And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available. Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that criss-cross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs. The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain, Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day. Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders. We love everyone!! So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell. Unwind. Kick back. And enjoy! BTW: Those that find our campground a good fit and leave us a welcoming review are always invited to return as a "friend of the Cadron" and receive 10% off on future reservations.

The best camping near Greers Ferry Lake guide

Overview

About

At the base of Round Mountain lies stunning Greers Ferry Lake where Ozark lovers come to play! Numerous parks dot the shorelines, so there’s plenty of room to spread out. Whether it’s fishing, swimming, hiking or waterskiing that tickle your fancy you’re sure to find it here. Marinas and local eats are found steps away from sandy swimming beaches, though we recommend cooking up your own grub at one of Greers fine campgrounds where modern amenities and fireside laughter are guaranteed. There’s green trees for miles and hikes for days, plenty of fun for the whole crew. Greers Ferry is the Ozarks best, a place you’ll definitely add to your repeat visit list!

Notable campgrounds

  • Heber Springs Campground: A family favorite for its close proximity to water activities and well-maintained facilities.
  • Sugar Loaf Campground: Ideal for those seeking a tranquil retreat with stunning lake views and hiking trails.
  • Devil's Fork Campground: Offers excellent fishing spots and is a gateway to the lake's diverse water sports.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak season, as spots at Greers Ferry Lake fill up quickly due to its popularity.
  • Check for cancellations regularly; last-minute openings can be your golden ticket to a prime camping spot.
  • Consider visiting during the weekdays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Explore nearby camping options to increase your chances of finding a great site, especially if reservations are tight.

When to go
