Stephens Park Campground

Stephens Park is a small, quiet Army Corps of Engineers campground with 9 full-hookup Class A sites located on the Ouachita River just below Blakely Mountain Dam, offering excellent shoreline fishing access and convenient boat launch access to both Lake Ouachita (via nearby Spillway Ramp) and Lake Hamilton (via Avery Ramp).

The campground features clean facilities with showers, level gravel sites, and serves as the eastern trailhead for the 44-mile Lake Ouachita Vista Trail, making it ideal for both paddlers and anglers seeking a peaceful riverside base camp near Hot Springs.
