Welcome to Ouachita River Haven! Nestled between Ouachita National Forest property and the Ouachita River, our Haven is a peaceful little slice of nature for you to take a break, catch your breath, and enjoy the outdoors! Property has 1000 ft of river access, with canoe & kayak docks, swimming hole, volleyball and tetherball, horseshoes, swings. We offer hiking, mountain biking, and river shuttles as well as canoe/kayak/tube rentals and shuttles. Such trips should be reserved in advance by messaging us or visiting our website.

All primitive sites have a picnic table, fire ring, and campfire grill grate. Electric sites are 30 amp, if using for tent camping you will need a 3-prong converter (we can rent one to you for $5 if you do not have your own). RV/Camper MAXIMUM length is 28 feet.

This spot was PERFECT! Right next to the river, and you get to see the area from a corner view of the property. Bathroom and showers was kept clean and was in walking distance from campsite, or easy access if you want to commute by vehicle. This spot offers you peace and tranquility. I highly recommend to anyone looking to detach from electronics, and get connected to nature.

Campsites are clean, larger than I expected and the people who run the place were extremely helpful and friendly. We had a great time and enjoyed the stay. Would definitely recommend this place. Also because of the layout and the natural river boundary we didn’t have to worry much about critters in the campsite. Very positive experience. The ground at the sites can be kind of tough on tent stakes and your back so plan accordingly and bring a mat for your sleeping bags

Second time camping at Ouachita River Haven and it was great again! Worth the 5 hr drive from DFW as this place has some pretty mountain views and nice river front access. Owners are awesome and very accommodating. We will definitely be back again.

Perfect Campground

Ouachita River Haven is one of our favorite camp grounds, this is was our second time staying and loved it just as much as the first stay. The river is directly adjacent to the camp sites so there is easy access to the water. The campground has several river fed water spigots thought. The bath house is a short walk from the camp sites and is very nice for a camp ground bathroom. The bath house includes shower stalls, flushing toilets, soap for washing hands and paper towels. The water in the bath house is potable. The hosts are excellent and made sure we were comfortable. The camp dog "Shop" is very friendly and our kids and dog loved him. The host also offers firewood for a reasonable price, this is very convenient when hauling all the gear needed for tent camping. The host also provides trash cans and there is a dumpster on site, again very convenient to not have to allocate space for packing out. There are a few electric sites that looked very nice as well. All sites looked to have almost full shade from trees as well. All together just a great campground, we will definitely be back.
