Campground List
CAMPGROUND NAME: Blanchard Springs
VISIT DATE: 04/13/1997
UPDATE DATE: 3/1/2019
STATE: Arkansas
REGION: Southern
RANGER DISTRICT: Sylamore
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Fifty Six
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Fifty Six, AR, take State Rt. 14 east 0.4 miles to Blanchard Springs
Cavern sign. Turn left at sign and go 2.4 miles to a "T" intersection.
Turn left and go 0.4 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 400 ft.
The campground is composed of one loop accessed by fording the North
Sylamore Creek over a low-water bridge (inaccessible during heavy
rains). The campground is heavily wooded with a mixture of hardwoods
and cedar and quite attractive with Dogwoods blooming in early April.
The campground is rich in scenery and history. Little is left of the
Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) Camp Hedges, Company 743
but the enrollee's efforts, such as Mirror Lake, continue to provide
a variety of recreational opportunities to the public.
Blanchard Springs is an excellent destination campground. There is
the Blanchard Springs Caverns, a spectacular "living" cave - a must
visit. Reservations for the tour are recommended. Then, in the same
Recreation area, there is the walk to Blanchard Springs - a wonderful
spectacle of water pouring out of the mountain side. Just above and
to the left of it, is the original CCC-built gatehouse - built around
1935. Also, see the natural amphitheater, towering Sandfield Bluff,
and Shelter Cave near the day use area.
About 15 miles away on State Rt. 14, near Mountain View, AR, is the
Ozark Folk Center State Park. Here, many folk and gospel concerts
are held. Another major attraction in the Park are various "cottages"
that house live demonstrations of blacksmithing, knife making, gun
smithing, quilting, etc. There are also mini-concerts during the
day of "foot stompin" folk music. This Park, like the Caverns, is
lots of fun for every family member.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 530 ft.
The campground, located on Slyamore Creek, is site of the Civilian

camp. As with the Blanchard Springs campground, many sites are
designed with stone terraces. Vegetation is comprised primarily of
cedar and a mix of hardwoods.
Gunner Pool is an excellent destination campground not only because
of its CCC history and rustic setting, but also because it's just a few
miles from Blanchard Springs Caverns and the Ozark Folk Center State
Park. See Blanchard Springs campground General Comments for
further information.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

UPDATE DATE: 8/22/2020
STATE: Arkansas
REGION: Southern
RANGER DISTRICT: Pleasant Hill
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Clarksville
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
In Clarksville, AR, at intersection of US Rt. 64 (Main St.) and State
Rt. 103, take Rt. 103 north 8.5 miles to Horsehead Lake and State
Rt. 164 signs. Turn left onto Rt. 164 and go 3.6 miles to Horsehead
Lake Public Fishing (County Rt. 4100) sign. Turn right onto Rt. 4100
and go 0.6 miles to campground sign (County Rt. 3198). Turn left at
sign and go 1.3 miles to campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 690 ft.
The campground stretches along the banks of Horsehead Lake which
is good for canoeing. The campsites are tucked under a scattering of
mature hardwoods, such as maple and oak. The variety of hardwoods
gives the campground an attractive Fall foliage and pleasant cooling
shade. Lantern poles and stone terraces provide additional character.
Each campsite has a view of the lake and many have a short adjacent
spur for a car or boat trailer. A manicured grass understory offers poor
privacy between campsites. The lake contains a healthy population of
beavers, which is the reason for chicken wire around the bottom tree
trunks. This is a nice family campground. Limited groceries and gas
are available at the intersection of State Rts. 103 and 164.
