Ouachita Lake, Arkansas
Hickory Nut Mountain Campground, nestled in the Ouachita National Forest near Mount Ida, AR, offers a peaceful retreat with some stunning views. This spot is perfect for those who appreciate a bit of solitude and don't mind roughing it a bit. The campground is free to use and provides basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. However, don't expect luxury—there are no electric hookups, showers, or trash services, so you'll need to pack out what you pack in.
The views here are a real highlight, with some campsites offering glimpses of Lake Ouachita through the trees. The area is also great for off-roading and hiking, with trails like Pollard Creek Trail nearby. If you're into primitive camping, you might find some hidden spots along the creek bed that are perfect for setting up a tent and cooling off in the spring water.
Visitors have mentioned that the campground is generally quiet, though you might hear some road noise and see a few cars passing through to access the main trail. The restroom facilities are basic, essentially a portapotty, so come prepared. Despite the occasional traffic, many campers have found themselves alone at the site, making it a great place for some weekend solitude.
One thing to watch out for is broken glass and trash left by previous visitors. It's a good idea to do a quick cleanup around your site to ensure a safe and pleasant stay. And remember, always leave the campsite cleaner than you found it.
Overall, Hickory Nut Mountain Campground is a fantastic spot for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ouachita National Forest. Just be ready for a bit of a rugged experience.
