This convenient roadside facility serves as both a picnic area and campground, providing visitors with direct access to the South Fourche LaFave River for floating and fishing. The campground sits in a forested setting along the river where Bear Creek empties into the South Fourche LaFave, making it a popular launch point for paddlers and anglers. The facility offers basic amenities with a focus on simple, affordable camping. Sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. The campground operates year-round and provides a peaceful setting for tent campers and smaller RVs. As a rustic USFS campground, visitors should come prepared with their own water and supplies, as no water or electric hookups are provided. The location along Scenic Highway 7 makes it a convenient stop for those exploring the Ouachita Mountains, particularly during fall when the byway is popular for viewing autumn foliage.
