Great quiet get-away spot North of Minden, LA. Large campsites with level camper pads. Gravel area with nice extended tables and large fire pits. This area is on shores of Upper Caney Lake where you are surrounded by beautiful piney woods. Spotted dear on a hike on trails along the lake. White and pink dogwood, peach-pink wild azaleas, purple wisteria and plenty of roadside wildflowers were blooming throughout the park. Camp host on site can provide directions or help if needed. Some sites are reservable while others are FCFS. Minden is short drive for groceries or gas or restaurants. Most restaurants are still not seating inside because of Covid-19 virus. There was a Mexican restaurant that was open inside. Beaver Dam Campground is the place for family, fishing, boating, hiking and relaxing.

A wonderful campground; far enough off the path to have beautiful stars but about 18 mi from Hot Springs, the National Park and tourism and restaurants, etc... The campground also adjoins a nice marina and multiple lodging types with a clean and functional laundry, camp store and seasonal restaurant.
The campground host is Roy and his spouse; they were great! Roy truly enjoys people and is quite helpful. He keeps a watchful eye but is not a pest in any way. This is a busy campground and quite large and the climb to the mountain top is a little narrow; just take your time and be careful.
The lake and recreational area are beautiful. Don't miss out on driving to the top of Hickory Nut Vista for a spectacular view; no walking required at the top. "Beautiful"
