About this campground

Note: this is Cherokee Park on the Arkansas River in Morrilton, Arkansas not the Cherokee Park at Greers Ferry.

“The camp ground was nice and quite. The only small. Complaint that I have is the bathrooms could have been cleaner.”

“The grass was high. There were several wasp nests under the pavilion. We had to watch the kids closely because the wasps were everywhere ”

How far ahead to book Cherokee (Arkansas River)

For May weekends, book about 33 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 12 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,227 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
