About Jerktail Campground
On summer days, Jerktail is a bustling location for floating, swimming, and recreation. The Current River, huge gravel bars, deep swimming holes, and impressive bluffs draw visitors year after year. At night, campers can enjoy beautiful night skies and true Ozark seclusion. Jerktail Campground is one of the most remote locations in the park. Under the right conditions, visitors can see the Milky Way stretch across the sky. In the summer months, fireflies can make for a dazzling display.
