Camping at Iron Mountain near Arkadelphia

Public campground · Arkadelphia · 67 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Perched on the southern shore of DeGray Lake in the lower foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, Iron Mountain Campground puts you steps from clear, deep water that comes from the Caddo River and spreads across about 13,500 acres one of the region's Diamond Lakes. The campground's shoreline location makes boating and other water sports the dominant draw: a boat ramp and a full-service marina make launching easy, and the lake is regularly stocked with game fish, including hybrid striped bass, so both bank and boat anglers find plenty to do.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (9,032 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
