Site Information
Cherokee is a great quiet campground to relax and unwind to get away from the city. You are only a short drive to Petit Jean Mountain and State Park, Harris Break and Holla Bend Wildlife Management areas or Lake Dardanelle.
Greenbrier is very close by with lots of antique shops to visit maybe you will find a unique treasure in one. Or just enjoy the quiet natural beauty of the campground and watch the occasional barge moving up and down the river.
