Wanted to be completely transparent about this spot. If you have small children, sensitive to sun etc, read on. I'll start with cons as I feel it's most important: **Watch out for the cut off tree stumps throughout the site. Not a huge deal, but easy to trip on in the dark. **The tent pad is completely in the sun from about 12ish to 5:30-6ish pm. No shade whatsoever, on hot days with high indexes this is a huge problem and the biggest issue we had. You CANNOT walk across the tent pad area during this time barefooted or you will literally blister your feet. If you have children that like to go barefoot, please take caution. It gets super hot really fast. (Or even pets with you) ** There is also no shade walking to water or while swimming during this time. Water shoes highly recommended. Lots of rock, shale, etc and easy to cut feet on and again, can be hot to walk on going down. The trail down to water isn't horrible for bigger people, but kids may stumble so be careful. **Definitely lots of ants, small nuisance for us but I know some don't tolerate them well. * Not a biggie, but the fire pit is in an awkward place that makes it a bit harder to try and "gather round" off to the side of tent pad. If you've read this far, thank you. Now for the Pros: *the view is lovely- sunset side, though partly hidden is still pretty to watch-right on the water. *Early in the morning you see the moon going down while sun rises on other side, it's nice to watch and peaceful. *wildlife viewing- we seen raccoons, several squirrels and deer, all within our campsite. *The shade late afternoon and early morning, along with breezes are great! Just not around the tent pad itself. Overall, we ended up cutting our 7 night stay down to 3, our pets and children were both struggling with the heat. We made these plans in Jan and wanted to try despite the weather/heat, thinking there would be more shade than there was to make it work, it didn't for us. Good luck and safe camping!

Absolutely gorgeous campsite. The view of the lake is so peaceful. We loved it. There were some ants but not so much that it was an issue. We went in the middle of the week and had total privacy. No lihhte, dark sky. Perfect.

This facility is always great. Beautiful spot on Ouachita.

Read a review about an ant problem and hoped and prayed we wouldn’t get an ant infested camp spot. Well we got spot 13 and it was pretty well infested with ants. I ended up packing up and leaving first thing in the morning and the ants got in both our vehicles and all of our stuff. The views here at Joplin are amazing and the secluded area is amazing but they need to solve the ant problem because it put a huge dent on our vacation. Do your self a favor and before you pick a spot go knock on the pine trees around the camp site and see if ants start pouring out.

Beautiful site, but don't go near holidays.
