About this campground

Nestled along the pristine shores of Greers Ferry Lake, Shiloh Park beckons outdoor enthusiasts with 100 thoughtfully designed campsites spread across the rolling Ozark Mountains. Whether you're launching your boat at dawn for a day of fishing, setting out on scenic hiking trails, or simply relaxing under ancient trees while watching for wildlife, this lakeside haven offers the perfect basecamp for adventure. Modern amenities blend seamlessly with nature, featuring 53 sites with electrical hookups, refreshing hot showers, both flush and vault toilets, convenient picnic shelters, and well-maintained boat ramps that provide easy access to the crystalline waters below.
Shiloh Campground offers multiple accommodation types, including sites with and without electric hookups, group sites, and primitive camping areas.
Historical SignificanceImmerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Greers Ferry Lake region at the nearby William Carl Garner Visitor Center, where the story of this magnificent waterway comes alive through captivating exhibits. Young explorers will delight in the hands-on children's touch table, while anglers of all ages marvel at the impressive replica of a record-setting trout that once called these waters home. The center serves as both an educational gateway and a testament to the area's deep-rooted fishing traditions and conservation efforts.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the gentle rhythm of Ozark seasons at Shiloh Park, where winter brings crisp, invigorating air with temperatures dipping to a refreshing 47°F, occasionally accompanied by cleansing rains and moderate mountain breezes. As spring unfolds into summer, the campground transforms into a warm sanctuary with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 85°F, perfect for swimming and water sports. These balmy months invite long days on the lake, with gentle breezes keeping evenings pleasant for campfire gatherings under star-filled skies.
ElevationPerched at a comfortable elevation in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, the campground offers gentle terrain perfect for all camping styles.
Natural Features and SceneryA living cathedral of hardwood and softwood giants creates an enchanting canopy throughout Shiloh Park, where dappled sunlight filters through leaves to paint shifting patterns on the forest floor. Come autumn, the landscape erupts in a spectacular display of crimson, gold, and amber as the diverse forest transforms. Early risers are often rewarded with glimpses of white-tailed deer grazing in meadow clearings, while the melodic gobble of wild turkeys echoes through the woods. Playful squirrels dart between branches overhead, and a symphony of songbirds provides the perfect natural soundtrack to your camping experience.
Geological RegionSet within the ancient Ozark Mountains, Shiloh Park showcases the region's remarkable biodiversity through its stunning tapestry of native trees. Aromatic red cedars stand sentinel alongside stately red oaks, while black gums prepare their annual autumn fire show. Graceful elms shade camping spots, heritage pecans drop their bounty, and sweet gums add their star-shaped leaves to the forest mosaic. This thriving ecosystem supports an abundance of wildlife, from the majestic white-tailed deer and clever wild turkeys to cottontail rabbits, acrobatic squirrels, and dozens of bird species that fill the air with song. The Ozark setting provides not just a backdrop, but a living, breathing wilderness experience that changes with each season.
