Ouachita/Little Pines
Overview
Located deep within the lush expanse of the Ouachita National Forest, Little Pines Campground offers a serene lakeside escape just south of Waldron, Arkansas. This federally managed recreation area is situated along the banks of the scenic Lake Waldron, providing a tranquil environment for those looking to reconnect with nature. It serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring the rugged beauty of the Ouachita Mountains while maintaining proximity to local conveniences and small-town charm.
Location & Surroundings
The park is defined by its heavily wooded landscape, where towering pines and hardwoods provide ample shade and a sense of privacy between sites. Surrounded by the rolling hills of Scott County, the atmosphere is incredibly quiet and removed from the noise of major highways or urban centers. The primary draw is the immediate access to the 400-acre Lake Waldron, which creates a stunning backdrop for evening sunsets and morning wildlife viewing right from the comfort of your rig.
Amenities & Park Features
While the setting is rustic, the park provides essential comforts for modern travelers. Many sites are equipped with water and electric hookups, making it a comfortable choice for those who want a forest experience without fully boondocking. The facility includes several practical features:
- Well-maintained picnic tables and fire rings at each site for outdoor dining.
- A convenient on-site sanitary dump station for all RV guests.
- Paved boat ramps providing easy access for small watercraft and kayaks.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Anglers will find excellent opportunities for fishing for bass and catfish on the calm waters of Lake Waldron. Beyond the water, the surrounding national forest offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and nature photography. A short drive into the town of Waldron allows visitors to explore local history at the Scott County Heritage Center or attend regional bluegrass festivals. The area is also highly regarded for its beautiful seasonal foliage, which transforms the forest into a vibrant display of color every autumn.
Who This Park Is Best For
Little Pines is a perfect match for nature enthusiasts and anglers who prefer a quiet, forest-style camping experience over a crowded commercial resort atmosphere. It is ideal for those who enjoy a slower pace of life and value direct access to primitive outdoor recreation. If your travel style involves kayaking, bird watching, or simply relaxing under a thick canopy of trees, this campground offers the peaceful, budget-friendly retreat you are looking for.

This is a great little campground with a nice lake. But from the campground you can't fish on all the docks on a certain ones but other than that it's a great little place to go camping

Great spot for camping. Quiet, isolated, good fishing, a shooting range, boatlaunch, and beach just down the road. Clean place. We will return again and again.

Might be the quietest campground you can find. No road noise, no rowdy drunk idiots, just folks who appreciate some peace and quiet. Camping spaces area well dispersed, not all crammed right next to each other, well shaded, well maintained. A jewel of a location!
David Turner
It's camping. I mean come on. Ya gotta love fishing, pice and quiet, and best of all. All the park and game warden's are more concerned with your kids having life vest then if you got your fishing license. Don't get me wrong they check them if ya ant got your license then don't go here you will be busted!!
