The Volunteer staff at the entrance was helpful. The different sections were not too well marked. However, the Burn Ban was posted lots of places. My site was too close to other campers and the dry conditions had robbed the lake inlet of its scenic atmosphere. Left 2 days early to travel to a better spot. Hope to return in the future.

The site was awesome with incredible views of lake and sunset. A frill, grill table, fire pit, lantern hook AND electric and water ready at your site, and park is quite clean.

Our favorite campsite. Lake Ouachita is probably the most beautiful lake in Arkansas and this is located right on it. Close to Hot Springs if needed. Decent cell service, a great beach and play area for the kids. Decent sized sites. Some can be pretty in level though. The only thing it needs is a sewer hookup at the site and it would be perfect. The dump station line can be long.
