Fish, Swim, Camp, And Relax At Horsehead Lake In Arkansas

Clarksville is a rather unexpected gateway to numerous outdoor adventures. Lake Dardanelle is near the city as well as the gorgeous views from Strawberry Bluff. Another worthwhile day trip near here is Horsehead Lake. Horsehead Lake has plenty of recreation for a weekend away. Let’s set up camp and get ready to play on the lake!

This particular gem is along the southern edge of the forest and about 11 miles north from downtown Clarksville. The 98-acre lake is a rather underrated attraction but well worth a day trip or overnight stay.

This small campground can accommodate your glamping style! The sites are spacious enough for 30-ft. long trailers or perfect for a tent or two. These sites are $15/day. Keep in mind there's a bathhouse here too so hot showers are only a small stroll away!
