About Aux Arc

Download a park map HERE  Aux Arc Campground sits on the shores of Ozark Lake in the picturesque Arkansas River Valley.

Very nice place to stay for tent camping with electricity and water. Loved that the campsites were very Motorcycle friendly. The only issue I had were the bathroom and shower. Only one person a could use the restroom and shower at a time. I can understand as the campground is mainly for RV’s.

Camsites are all level, and well spaced apart, and runs parallel to the Arkansas river. very quiet and clean. several trains a day, blowing their horn, along the opposite ban of the river is interesting and not too noisy. Occasionally a barge will come up or down the river which is interesting. No sewer, so that's a little disappointing. Town of Ozark has plenty of restaurants, shops for groceries, etc just a couple of miles away. A train depot museum and antique store on river street, local wineries, are one of the many things to do in the area. Not far from the town of Paris, or mount Magazize state park and lodge. Overall, a very nice park which we shall definitely visit again

We stayed one night on the way from Nashville to Amarillo. The campground was one of the nicest we've ever seen. The only downside was the noise from the trains across the river.

Great park. We had a very restful stay. If trains bother you, this is not the place for you. The trains did not disturb us. Site 20 accommodated our 45’ class A, but it would not have worked if we had had slides. We could not extend our awning. If your rig is shorter, you can position it so that you miss the very large trees next to the parking pad.
