Tompkins Bend Campground is a beautiful spot on Lake Ouchita. We stayed in Site 13, on Loop D, I believe. It was right on the shore line and very level. Just an FYI we checked out Site 10, and the fire pit was totally sunken into the ground. Most sites were very shaded. The bathhouses were very clean and well maintained, and they were also heated! Which was nice for the chilly march mornings. We had a clear view of the boat ramp from our site, so in the summer it might be a little noisy, but over all it was a great experience!

Love the park and the restaurant , The PIE is great!!!/. The only bad thing was the electric at site 33 was messed up, The 30 amp plug was melted and the 50 amp breaker would get really hot and trip with just the 2 air units going, It looks like it got hot at some point, will need to be repaired. Lucky it was mild weather and we just used one A/C unit.
