Pigeon Creek Dispersed is located in the Ouachita National Forest, featuring forested terrain with a mix of trees and underbrush. Temperatures in this area range from lows in the 30s during winter to highs in the 90s in summer. Nearby, visitors can explore the Talimena Scenic Drive and the Ouachita National Recreation Trail.

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.

The road in was a little bumpy take it slow and you’ll be fine. Just on the right is a clearing you can’t miss next to the Kiamichi River along side pigeon creek. You’re surrounded by trees, moss and running blue mountain spring water. What’s not to love? The terrain is rocky so use a thick mat or hammock but you will love it. 

Just what I was looking for.

The river and creek merging was so beautiful! It was a beautiful drive there. 
But whoever was there before me trashed it out. It’s sad. 

Would have been perfect 

We drove slowly back and forth along the road exactly where the coordinates lead us to but there is no vehicle access to the forest there. It’s completely overgrown
