Girard Road (Forest Road 20) runs as a maintained gravel and dirt single-track through the Ouachita National Forest, and this free dispersed site sits 1.3 miles south of the Jack Creek Recreation Area turnoff on a narrow, easy-to-miss dirt spur. The site fits one vehicle up to truck camper size on a mostly level dirt surface with a rock fire ring. Shade covers most of the site, though solar panels placed on the access track can still catch afternoon sun. T-Mobile 5G has been confirmed here. Campers looking for dispersed camping near Ouachita National Forest will find this area has several nearby options, including Jack Creek Recreation Area a short drive east, which gives access to swimming holes and hiking trails. The site works well as a low-key overnight base for exploring the Jack Creek corridor.
