About Aux Arc

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

I have stayed at Aux Arc several times and this was the first time in C12. It will be my spot of choice in the future. A large semi-private site (a pasture to one side) which was welcome as I now travel alone since the passing of my wife of 60 years while in SC in August
Aux Arc is always well maintained and quiet
Sorry to learn that Richard is retiring he was a great host

Nice camp grounds along the river, but our particular site had some drawbacks. Both were noise. One was the Butterball turkey plant across the river and the second was trains running on tracks across the river. Talked to a couple of longtime guest and said they hardly noticed the trains. I would come back but get a camp site further away from the processing plant with its lights and constant noise. Very handy to Altus and the wine tour.

This park is clean and well kept. I love being beside the river and watching the barges go through the locks. The attendant was friendly and helpful. We have come to this park a few times now and are returning in a few days. It is one of my favorites. There is not much in the way of restaurants nearby, however, so be sure to bring food. :)
