About Aux Arc

Download a park map HERE  Aux Arc Campground sits on the shores of Ozark Lake in the picturesque Arkansas River Valley. "Aux Arc" is a name that originated with French explorers when they mapped the territory. The term means "the big bend," describing the bend in the Arkansas River. Over time, the name was simplified to "Ozark," thus the name for Ozark Lake.

Nice, clean, quiet except for the occasional train across the river, campsites have electric and water and there's a dump site at the entrance. There's a boat ramp and I see a lot of fish out in the river. Camp host is nice.

We enjoyed a tree-shaded campsite right on the river’s edge, within sight of the dam. Watching the barges was a treat! The breeze off the water was wonderfully cool, even on near 100 degree days. Hookups (water and electric) were easy and quick for our small class B motor home. The site was level, and though woodsey, was clean and well maintained. Bathhouses and restroom facilities were also clean and well maintained. The dump station was easy to access, and near enough to the bathhouse to wash up afterward. The only issue was a very active railway line across the river with the sound being amplified by the (beautiful) rocky bluff. The fresh air and breeze must have calmed me, because my husband said I slept through at least 3 trains in the night! We loved it! And with the ease of registering online, we are already planning our next mini-vacation to Aux Ark Park!

Aux Arc is a beautiful campground. Well spaced sites. The grounds are well kept. Could use easier access to river and an upgrade on restrooms, although the restrooms were kept very clean.

We had a wonderful time at Aux Arc! The sites were well maintained and except for the Dam lights on all night, everything was perfect (we were tent camping, so wouldn't be a problem in an RV. Loved this campground ❤
