Jefferson Ridge Campground is located on Dierks Lake in southwestern Arkansas. Rugged ridges bordering the lake create stunning views, and visitors enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, and hunting. This year-round campground offers 85 family sites and two day-use group picnic shelters. All sites include full electric and water hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, and dump stations. Sitting in the Ouachita Mountain Region of Arkansas, Dierks Lake is fed by the Saline River. Crater of Diamonds State Park, Little Missouri Falls, and Cossatot River State Park are popular recreational areas located in close proximity to Dierks Lake. The 1360-acre lake offers excellent boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming opportunities. Dierks Lake is known for its excellent bass and crappie fishing. Hunters will find nearly 600 acres of public hunting lands in the upper reaches of the project. Game species include white-tail deer, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, grey and fox squirrel, cottontail rabbit, and a variety of waterfowl.
A playground, two swimming beaches and two boat ramps provide additional recreation opportunities.
CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race. Set up a free availability alert for JEFFERSON RIDGE.
