Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights21 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
Old Post Road sits on the western shore of Dardanelle Lake between the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests, where the Arkansas River widens into roughly 40,000 acres of water and nearly 315 miles of shoreline. The campground is framed by stretches of hardwoods and open lake views that make it a strong spot for wildlife watching; the river valley is a well-known wintering area for bald eagles and the nearby Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge adds additional opportunities for photography and birding.








Length limits vary by campsite.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

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 (16,714 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.
