RangerScout first!
At least it’s free. Didn’t stay the night, not an ideal spot for us to boondock. A few spots down by the water, but it’s incredibly steep. Saw a couple of RV’s down there, and a few trucks with boats launched. T-mobile service was enough to browse the web.
RangerOn the water in minuets
The sites seemed relatively close to each other, but i've never seen the campsite packed, so that makes it seem kind of private. I've been here to go scuba diving, and the water is wonderful! Lake Ouachita is such a beautiful place! I'll probably ly be back!
