Well MJ and forum, this was our second trip to Lake Ouachita state park. Last year, we found this park after being so claustrophobic at the Crater of Diamonds (COD) State park and stayed there instead. Ever since it was featured on the discovery channel COD has been very popular and crowded. Lake Ouachita is one of the cleanest lakes in Arkansas and wasn’t very crowded when we went out. Most of the campsites are waterfront, so a quick dip is effortless. The Bath and restroom facilities are great. Every night during the summer months, the park staff have interesting programming available. Three sister’s springs is located in the park, known for it “healing powers” (Yeah, we brought back some) The park is very close to Hot Springs, just in case you might want some sight seeing or a wally world trip. Camp sites are spaced just about right and you can even reserve site specific. Would recommend
