About

Brady Mountain Campground offers an idyllic setting on Lake Ouachita, known for its crystal clear waters and excellent fishing opportunities. The campground features 74 sites, all with electric hookups, divided between standard RV sites and tent-only sites. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, fish cleaning station, boat ramp, swim beach, and playground.

Lake Ouachita sits in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains and boasts 692 miles of shoreline with 178 islands. The lake stems from the Ouachita River and attracts visitors for boating, fishing, water sports, and scuba diving among the remains of the flooded mountain valley. The campground provides access to the Geo-Float Trail, a unique water-based interpretive trail that leads visitors on a 16-mile self-guided boat tour to see incredible geologic features. A scenic land-based nature trail is also accessible from the campground. Located just 10 miles west of Hot Springs National Park, the campground offers convenient access to the historic spa city. A full-service marina with dive shop, boat rentals, and restaurant operates nearby at Brady Mountain Resort. Self-check-in is available using cards at the campground entrance.
