You can't go wrong on any of the corps lakes. They all have nice facilities and they are in top condition.

Brady Mountain is the closest campground on Ouachita to Hot Springs, followed by Crystal Spring, Mountain Harbour, Shangri-la and then Denby and Twin Creeks. Twin Creeks is the only one that doesn't have utilities for creature comforts.

My preference is Denby. It is closed right now but will open soon. Get on the Corps national website and go to the reservation tab to see when it opens up.

Ouachita has wild shorelines except for the occasional marina. The water is very clear w/ a 15' vis most of the time. Ouachita is 40,000 acres of God's beauty and tranquility.

If you go to Ouachita, contact me and we'll try to hook up on a crappie or two. <><
