Very beautiful, calm. It has many camping sites nearby and I would recommend camping here for the best experience. We did camping for 2 days. Had a great time at the lake side

Very nice state park. Campsites are reasonably spaced apart and moderately level. Utilities worked fine. Lake was clean and quite nice. Would love to have kayaked, but it was rainy and cold most of the time. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Stayed in a camper cabin with the intent of crystal mining in the area. Cabin was secure, clean, and free of bugs and spider webs. Fire pit was functional and we had a great time. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked with toilet paper, and the showers were good too. Trash both inside restrooms and outside were emptied regularly and even the portapotty close to our cabin was just as clean as the brick and mortar restrooms. I think it was freshly cleaned out when we got there, and it was one of the nicest I’ve ever had to use. Though the brick and mortar restrooms were easily close enough to walk, I often opted to use the portapotty instead since it was so well maintained and just a bit closer. You can tell that the hosts and workers really care about their state park and keeping it nice. The park itself is gorgeous. We are already talking about coming back!

Oh. The view and calmness touched our hearts while we were there. We spent more than 3 hours enjoying the beautiful mountain rains and listening to the sounds. Words can't describe how relaxed we felt during those hours. I didn't want to leave, but we had to 😊

Fun park for camping, hiking and water sports. Two swimming areas and a unique old spa area. Good access to Hot Springs area and related activities.

We had such a wonderful time at Ouachita State Park! The park is very well-maintained, clean, and peaceful. The campsites are spacious, perfectly set up, and many of them have beautiful views of the lake. The lake itself is gorgeous — calm, clear, and perfect for relaxing, fishing, or just enjoying nature. The facilities were neat and easy to access, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s the perfect getaway if you want to be close to nature but still have a comfortable and well-organized camping experience. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I and our three kids went to Ouchita State Park for the day and rented kayaks. It was such an amazing experience. It was so easy, you walk just walk up and download an app to rent the kayaks and throw them in the water! We kayaked all over the lake near the marina and even docked up on and island to swim. My boys brought their fishing poles and fished all along the way. When we were done we sat at a picnic table and had lunch and the kids swam some more at the beach area. There are nice and clean public restrooms nearby, and tons of hiking trails to choose from. Highly recommend Ouchita State Park for a family outing!

Beautiful park with great hiking on Caddo trail, fun water activities including ranger led boat tours and snorkeling, a marina you can rent your own boat from, and nice swimming beach near 3 sisters springs. Great trip! Cabins are really nice too!

Cell service completely dropped in spots for AT&T and it was wonderful. We all need to unplug. Get gas and snacks before you curve into these hills and mountains. Nice swimming spot down from the Three Sisters Spring. Kayaking, boating, fishing dog friendly, and such a treasure. Tons of camping spots, clean bathrooms, pristine waters, and just beautiful out there. The welcome sign is so cool and detailed. Love it out here!

We have camped here dozens of times. It’s our home campground as it’s 20 minutes away. The sites are always clean and well maintained. All RV sites are full hook ups except for area D. The tent sites have water and are close to very clean full bathhouses.

Park Ranger Emily is a gem! We took a scenic pontoon boat tour and she shared her knowledge and humor! We had a blast! She was so nice and answered all our questions. She truly loves her park and so do we! We’ll be back! I can't get my video of our boat ride to upload but here are a few pictures.

We're from Texas and we've both camped many times since childhood. This is the cleanest, most organized campground we've ever been to. The staff are so friendly, helpful, and know so much that you can tell they truly care about their park. We did the lake tour. You HAVE to go! It's so beautiful out on the lake and our park ranger Brodie gave us so much fun info and so many photo ops. We enjoyed every minute even though it was below freezing in our tent. The bathrooms and showers are clean and even heated in winter. We appreciate all the effort put into this place and we will certainly be back!!!
