Camp Site 43, Loop C.
Beautiful view of the Lake, The water was down when I went but if it were at normal stage I would say you'd be a few feet from the water. Nothin but great views, watching the Sun go down and come up over the mountains was something else. And I've never seen so many stars at night before. They do have electricity although I didn't use it. Trash cans are not too far to dispose of any trash you have. And I felt like the site did have good privacy. They have a stand-alone grill and fire pit. I cooked brats over the fire, they were amazing! This site is a 5 star all the way, I will definitely be coming back here again in the future. 1 negative thing though, Finding a flat spot to set up your tent was near impossible. Not a deal breaker for me, But I was sleeping on somewhat of a slope. Something to think about if that bothers you. Other than that I had a wonderful time.

We had to leave Hot Springs on 4th of July morning and as luck would have it, we decided to camp for a night and got the best spot available. We ended up staying 2 nights and watched the Ouachita fireworks show, the best I have ever seen.

The view was absolutely beautiful and we were high enough off the water that the bugs were at bay. The crows/birds however like to rise at 5am and caw a lot. We also had some late night furry visitors try and steal our marshmallows and hamburger buns! So make sure to lock down your tubs and food! The bathrooms were nice, and the rental docs are just around the next bend. We jet skied and we’re able to come right up to our site. Loop C43 was probably the best site out of that entire loop. There is drinkable water available just up the hill and it’s nice to park your vehicle right above the campsite as a “wall” of privacy from the road. Overall we loved this site and it also accommodated our need for an extra rain barrier. There are plenty of trees to set up an overhanging tarp for extra protection.
We HIGHLY recommend Lake Ouachita-Joplin campground!!
