This is a great place with awesome camps hosts and a cozy feel.

A great gateway to the national forest and the Ouachita Trail. The trail starts at the park and heads East for some 200 miles. But you don’t have to do it all! Just get out and enjoy what you can.

The ATV crowd is present and sometimes a little loud, but they leave out in the morning and don’t typically get back till dusk.

Tent site 1 is outstanding. Located at the head of the trail it is otherwise pretty remote.

The RV campsites are against the highway and although you can’t see it, you can certainly hear it. It’s not an interstate though and the traffic does die down at night.

I don’t think they have a problem in camp, but be aware that the Ouachita National Forest holds a fair number of Black Bears. Proceed accordingly.

Overall this is a gem of a park, nothing really to do at the park, but the adjacent forest awaits whatever adventure you choose!
