Summary

Reservations are recommended via Recreation.gov; fees apply. Nestled in a wooded, lakeside setting, it’s great for fishing, swimming, and boating, with a boat ramp onsite. The campground is peaceful and scenic, ideal for relaxing or exploring nearby trails and the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. Summer is popular, but late spring and early fall offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. No special permits needed unless fishing or boating with state requirements.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
