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.

Trash was never picked up. Over flowing. The check in people were there only limited hours. Did not feel like the area was well supervised.

In Section C area, no warm water in shower. Loud due to train whistle and horns and sirens from dam. People that are not staying there, walked through our campsite regularly to get to river for fishing. Site was nice and clean.

Aux arc campground is very relaxing. Lots of open spaces right next to the Arkansas river. Enjoy the river barge traffic, and the trains. Very peaceful setting, which we enjoy every time we go.

Always a beautiful and immaculate park. I like being up close to the banks of the Arkansas river and I enjoy Ozark and the Swiss restaurant at Otis out of this world.

My husband and I stay at Aux Arc fairly often (4 to 6 times per year) . Quiet park, close to grocery store and gas stations. Clean bathrooms, if one needs them. Very nice people work within the park cleaning and checking in.
We have a great time at this park with friends that also stay during the same time we are there.
