Summary
Campers must be self-sufficient—there are no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RVs can access the area via forest roads, but there are no hookups. Set in a scenic, forested mountain environment, the campground provides a rugged, peaceful experience ideal for solitude seekers. Popular nearby trails include the Ouachita National Recreation Trail and Talimena Scenic Drive. Spring and fall offer the best weather, with vibrant foliage and cooler temps. A free permit may be required for backcountry camping—check with the U.S. Forest Service before visiting.

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.
