A forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Cowhide Cove Campground sits on the forested shore of Lake Greeson along the Little Missouri River in Pike County, Arkansas, offering direct access to a 12-mile stretch of lake with about 7,260 surface acres for boating, fishing and lakeside hiking. The lake's clear water and four marinas support a full range of water activities from fishing for largemouth, spotted and white bass, crappie and catfish to water skiing, tubing and cruising and the tailwaters below the dam sustain a healthy rainbow trout and smallmouth fishery.
Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (10,688 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.
