Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
The broader Lake Ouachita area is rich in recreational options and natural interest. The clear water and underwater visibility make this stretch of the lake a popular spot for scuba diving and water sports; anglers target species such as striped bass, and you may notice small, harmless freshwater jellyfish drifting among the rocks.















Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (25,597 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.
