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.

Our stay at Aux Arc began with me having a problem with our 5th wheel backing into our site. When one of the campers noticed our predicament, he stepped forward and helped. He and his wife left before we could even properly thank him. It was a short stay but a fabulous stay. We met many campers while there and they all treated us like family. Thank-you Aux Arc COE. Paula & Bill

Our stay was exactly as it should have been...all of the staff were doing their jobs as they should be and treated the customers as they should. Everything in the Campground was operational and clean...Thanks to Aux Arc Park!

Loved our camp spot. But after 10+ days the Butterball plant across the river , powering up daily at 6am was annoying. Train didn’t bother me. Loved watching the barges go up river. Flys got on my last nerve too, this park allowed your gray water to be dumped on ground this may cause this to be a problem w flies.
But a great home base to kayak, hike this area.

We love the Aux Arc COE park. Hosts are friendly, the lock and dam are interesting to watch as barges travel the River. We even love the rumbling trains across the river. The sites are spacious, and the view of the river is peaceful. Excellent playground for kids, and good e-bike riding. The only negative is that they are always behind on mowing.

Rivertowne BBQ in downtown Ozark is good-a 5 minute drive. Wine tasting at the local wineries is always fun. Workman’s Travel Center on I-40 and Hwy 23 is a truck stop so it’s easy for large RVs to get in and out. It’s a nice, large, clean stop with a restaurant.
