Summary
Reservations are not required; sites are first-come, first-served, with no permits needed. A small nightly fee applies. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, but no drinking water or RV hookups (small RVs okay). The scenic setting is wooded and peaceful, nestled in the Ouachita National Forest near Shady Lake. Expect quiet, shaded campsites surrounded by pine and hardwood forest. Great for hiking and wildlife viewing, with access to nearby Fourche Mountain Trail. Best visited in spring through fall for mild weather and vibrant foliage.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
