The dam is privately owned and regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, with state jurisdiction and permitting in place. Standing at a height of 31 feet, the earth dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 182 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres.
With a significant hazard potential, Lake Campbell Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment as of the last inspection in May 2013. Despite this, the dam has a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 30 feet, along with a drainage area of 0.6 square miles. The dam's location on the Arkansas River-TR stream, within the Vicksburg District, underscores its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Although lacking specific risk management measures and emergency action plans, Lake Campbell Dam remains a vital structure for water supply and recreational activities in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition and potential risks, it stands as a key component of the local landscape and an essential asset for the community's well-being and environmental sustainability.
