Great camping location! Site 7A is an excellent spot with water and 50amp hookup. Quiet and peaceful with easy access to the lake. The bathrooms are within walking distance from this spot also! Every sunset was stunning! There are ants around all the sites, so keep it in mind. We will return!
Beautiful cozy campground. This part has three campsites two tent and one RV. The water is shallow enough to swim in all the way around. Beautiful little Pebble Beach on the left with the docks on the right.
Private and cozy campsite my husband picked out!
Oh my LORD yes it’s hard to find your spot the numbers can be confusing but man oh man is it peaceful, safe, efficient, and friendly. Also the nature spots are AMAZING. If your into crystals like me you can find PURE NATURAL CRYSTALS on your hike or walk. It was a blast!
The only thing good about this campground is the swim area. We woke up to Ants all in our tents, red AND black ants were everywhere. The campsites are basically slanted on a cliff side, The people in charge of the campground are very rude, deceitful and creepy Men. They got mad that I asked for a refund for our last night there because we decided to leave one day early due to the ants and storms and the man literally went back to the campsite that we had reserved, cleaned up and left, He went and scattered trash all over it and then called the " park ranger" who then called me, threatening me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE.
Sites 5 is level& what views🥰Bath house is clean and all the Hot water U want💯Sites are spread out👏If U have a senior pass it cost 10 bucks a night, water & electric👍We will B back💞
Great views of Lake Ouachita. Bathrooms were clean, but bring your own soap. The only water supply was a sink outside the restrooms, with a note that no dishwashing is allowed there. So, be prepared to fin another way to wash your dishes. This pic was taken from campsite 56 tent site. Beautiful views, another tent site on the left and a picnic area on the right. The ground was not very level, but ideal enough for a small tent.
