Charleston - Bell Roads Dispersed, Brock Creek Lake, Ozark NF, AR

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A wooded dispersed site along a rocky dry creek, this spot sits just north of Bell Road (Forest Road 1334) off Charleston Road in the Ozark National Forest, within a popular OHV and multi-use trail area. The mostly level dirt surface has a rock fire ring and fits a few vehicles up to campervan size near the fire ring, with additional space closer to the lake for larger setups. Flooding is a real consideration here: the lake level affects usable area, and the site can go underwater. Heavy tree cover limits solar panel use, though a clearing near the lake provides an alternative. Brock Creek Campground is nearby for campers who want an established primitive site with more consistent conditions, and there are also places to camp near Jerusalem for those staging trips in the broader area.

Dispersed Camping Close to Brock Creek Lake

Coordinates: 35.49101, -92.80686. Large wooded dispersed site with easy access off of Charleston Road, just north of Bell Rd (Forest Road 1334). Located in a popular national forest OHV and multi-use trails area. This site is along side a rocky dry creek and is a short walk away from Brock Creek Lake. The site is a mostly level dirt surface with a rock fire ring. Tent camping is possible. A few vehicles, campervan and smaller, can fit near the fire ring. There are other spots just outside of the wooded area, closer to the lake, where a few more rigs can set up camp. This is all contingent upon the lake level; this area can flood. The lake at the time of my visit was drained. The trees at this site may limit the use of solar power, although solar panels can be set up in a clearing closer to the lake. The established primitive Brock Creek Lake Recreation Area campground is nearby.
