Lake Ouachita

Overview

Brady Mountain Campground delights visitors with its family-friendly facilities, fabulous views and idyllic placement on Arkansas's Lake Ouachita. The lake attracts visitors who come for the crystal clear waters and bountiful fishing opportunities. Click here for the Lake Ouachita Virtual Tour.

Recreation

A unique way to explore the lake is to follow the Geo-Float Trail, coined as the first water-based interpretive trail included in the National Trails System. The self-guided boat tour leads visitors on a 16-mile trip to see incredible geologic features as it stretches from the Spillway Recreation Area to Brady Mountain Recreation Area. Hikers enjoy the scenic land-based nature trail accessible from the campground. Boating, fishing and scuba diving among the remains of the flooded mountain valley are also popular here.

Facilities

All 74 campsites have electric hookups. Other amenities include a dump station, fish cleaning station, hot showers, boat ramp, playground, and a swim beach.

Natural Features

Lake Ouachita sits in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains, just 10 miles west of Hot Springs National Park. The lake stems from the Ouachita River and boasts 692 miles of shoreline with 178 islands.

One of the best

We used this as our base while visiting Hot Springs. It took us about 30 minutes to get there, with the last few miles being down a somewhat curvy, yet easily navigable and very pretty road in the mountain. Be aware of the weather, as if it’s raining hard, parts of this road are subject to being the pathway for the water to cross as it flows down the mountainside. We had that experience, and it was a little tricky but quite exciting. Although the first campsites certainly looked quite close to each other, as you get further back into the campground the sites seemed to have more room. It was a mile drive from the entrance to our campsite # 62, but a lot shorter to exit. We loved our location,overlooking a part of the lake where it looked like a little cove. The site was slightly sloping but easy to level our 24’ Itasca Navion. The restrooms were clean and tidy but no soap supplied. The showers had good pressure. There was also a couple of sinks available with hot water to do dishes. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back. I think this was one of my favorite.

Beautiful place, basic amenities

The campground is lovely. Be aware though that there’s Is only electric at the sites. Fresh water is available right inside the entrance. This campground is unstaffed. You fill out a card with your reservation into. An employee will find it and give you an official pass later on. There’s not much to do here if you’re not into fishing or getting on the water. The trails are minimal. The boat ramp has good parking and easy entry. My site has a good view of the water, but the marina is right there. People also tend to walk through the site to get to the water to view.

What every campground should be

Gorgeous camp ground. Quiet. Peaceful. Great views of the lake. A perfect spot to unwind.

Campground hosts were respectful and unintrusive.

I highly recommend the back portion of the campground.
