SOME CAMPSITES AT DAM QUARRY PARK TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. – The Army Corps of Engineers will temporarily close 17 campsites at Dam Quarry Park below Norfork Dam to repair damage from 2008 flooding.  Campsites 14 through 30 will close the week of March 8 and reopen in mid-July, barring weather delays.  The park’s other 51 campsites will remain open.

Jordan Park campground is a nearby alternative in the lower portion of Norfork Lake.

The campsite renovations and paving work are part of an overall effort to repair damage incurred during the April 2008 flooding in which the access road and other park structures and utilities along the Norfork River were damaged or destroyed.

The Corps regrets any inconvenience this closure may cause, but the end result will be improved campsites and a renovated access road when work is complete.

For more information, contact the Mountain Home Project Office at 870-425-2700, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.
