Free dispersed camping along Forest Road 179 provides drive-in access via unpaved but well-maintained roads suitable for two-wheel drive vehicles. The large dirt site sits close to the forest road with minimal privacy, featuring a substantial rock fire ring and mostly level terrain that accommodates both tent and hammock camping.
AT&T provides 5G service while T-Mobile lacks coverage, and dense forest canopy may challenge satellite internet connections. A small pond lies tucked in the woods behind the campsite. The site works best for truck campers or smaller rigs, though larger RVs should avoid the area. Campers can explore nearby hiking trails accessible from the FR132 junction. This spot suits those comfortable with roadside camping who want forest access without fees, though privacy-seeking campers may prefer campgrounds near Ouachita National Forest.
