Within Ouachita National Forest, Rocky Shoals operates as a day-use area rather than an overnight campground, open from 6am to 10pm. The site features four picnic spots along the river, each equipped with tables, grills, and lantern poles. Visitors access the water via boat launch facilities directly from the recreation area.
Located just off the highway, the facility includes vault toilets and provides a convenient stopping point for river travelers. Nearby Ouachita River Haven offers overnight camping for those needing to stay in the area.
