Lake Ouachita State Park

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 😊

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!

Very beautiful and breathtaking. Was expecting more crystal clear water like people hyped about but it was just clear-ish at the shore. The water is almost warm but cool enough on a hot summer day. My brother and I showed up in the morning around 8:00AM and had the swimming area all to ourselves at the first one then when we drove slightly further down the road at the three sisters spring area we shared that second swim area with another small family. Then we came back later in the day and chilled with the geese. This place is really nice to just float in the water or sit back in a chair. Some life jackets are provided at the swim area just remember to put them back. No pets allowed in these areas and no glass containers.

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!
