Beautiful Surroundings, Popular Spot

This campground was located down a 3 mile gravel road (my Hyundai hatchback handled it ok), on the top of a ridge overlooking Lake Ouachita. The view of the lake was fairly limited, but the site we stayed in did have a clearing in the trees big enough to catch a glimpse of the lake and the surrounding 'mountains'. The site itself was nice enough with a place to pull in, a large picnic table, metal grill, and a fire ring with a grate. The spot we picked was mostly rocky and downhill, so not great for tent camping. 

This campground shares a drive with a trailhead, so there was more traffic than I was expecting. The first night (Tuesday) we were the only people in the campground but the second night we had some neighbors. 
I will also mention that the second night, a truck came speeding through at about 11:30pm and stopped in front of our campsite before speeding off again down the road. Nothing happened, but it did make me feel slightly uneasy. 

Overall it was a nice experience, but I wouldn't stay here again.
