Free camping area offering restroom, decent camping pads with tables and fire rings. Campground and recreation area maintained by Army Corps of Engineers. Wooded area on the shore of Lake Ouachita in Arkansas. Accommodates a couple of vehicle-supported campers per site. Spectacular view of lake and neighboring islands. Good cell service. Highly recommended! Near-perfect experience marred by very nice vagrant who will pay you with organic sodas if you charge his mobile devices during your stay. Don't let this deter you. Great spot! Great source of free soda!

Very remote, private, improvised camping location in Ouachita National Forest, at the end of a long primitive road. Trees are charred in the area from lightning strike or careless camper. Dry, higher elevation, fire not recommended. Surrounding wilderness is worthy of exploration. Suitable for a few vehicle-supported campers. Primitive. No fire ring. Not flat. Only recommended if you can't find anywhere else. Excellent cell service.

A primitive grassy area adjacent to Lake Ouachita, not far from Hot Springs, Arkansas. This is a popular, free camping area for RVs, boaters, and fishermen. It's spacious and serene, however prepare to listen to generators running in the distance throughout the night. Beautiful lake. Fun for boating, and Ouachita wilderness ripe for exploration. Recommended. Some cell service.

Improvised primitive campsite. A small clearing at the end of a short length of two-track in Ouachita National Forest. Very remote, wooded area. No fire ring. Some debris. Not remarkable, just a secluded place for a couple of vehicles to park and sleep. Awoke to hear a car start nearby and drive away at 2:00 AM. This made no sense, given my location, and made me nervous, so I tossed and turned for a while and then left. Not recommended. No cell service.

A very nice free campground on the shore of Lake Ouachita. Popular hangout for locals who come and go, but otherwise, we had it all to ourselves. Great views of lake all around. Picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets with a small beach for swimming. Great for taking kayak out. Some cell service. Strongly recommended.

Rest area in Arkansas just off of I-40E. Public restrooms. Good cell service. A decent places to spend the night for free when driving cross country. Felt safe and relatively quiet at night. Plenty of room. Parking spaces were numerous but weirdly short.
