Description

National Forest

If you are one of those folks who prefers a different, more rugged camp experience, primitive camping is allowed almost anywhere in the Ouachita National Forest unless there is a sign stating otherwise, or it is a wildlife food plot. Located throughout the Forests are areas that have been campsites for many years. These are located along roadsides, trails, mountain tops, or near streams. Camping at dispersed locations have additional responsibilities: "Leave No Trace" so others can have a similar backcountry experience, pack out any trash or litter, scatter campfire ash around so it doesn't pile up, and leave the area better than you found it.

Please filter water before drinking! Beware of stream crossings after heavy rains. Please read the Dispersed Camping guidelines before heading out. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ouachita/recreation/?cid=fseprd727994

Large Winter Season Group Site

Coordinates: 34.91054, -93.20432. Large dispersed group site with a large rock fire ring. Suitable for winter season activities such as hunting. Can also accommodate a group of overlanders. It's a large open site with a forest backdrop. Can park several rigs. The site is level with a dirt and grass base. I wouldn't camp here in the summer; the grass and weeds are too high for comfort (see photos). When I visited this spot in February a few years ago, the site was much better. Track F70B is about 2000 feet to the east; this 1.4 mile track is closed to vehicles but can be hiked.
