Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
This is the first of 3 campsites on Turner Creek Rd in the Ouachita National Forest. This is public land, so it's free to stay for 30 days, in one site. I camped here in my Ford Transit conversion van and had no problems getting to the site. The site is a off of a gravel road and has a small man-made fire ring. I have Verizon and had great cell service. During my four-day stay I only saw one car go down the road.

Latest Check-Ins
wonderfully quiet campsites. I stopped at the first one but walked down to check out the others. They're all 3 nice and big and flat and there's a flat gravel parking lot at trail head #1. On the board the rules also say that you can stay in one campsite for 30 days then have to move at least 1 mile away for at least 14 days. you can stay a total of 90 days in the forest, moving every 30 days. Lots of huge trees and the road up to campsite #1 albeit rough in spots, I was able to make it in my minivan. Just go slow. It's boondocking/ dispersed camping so no amenities.
Report Check-InGreat remote site.
No road noise.
I do not recommend for low clearance vehicles. Full 5G service with T-mobile.
Somewhat shaded sites.
Could probably pull a 20' rig around in the site we're in but not much bigger.
A bit buggy with deer flies.
Completely empty on a Wednesday at 3-4pm.
Very quiet and remote. Will definitely be back.
Report Check-InA great place off the beaten path. We enjoyed the quiet. It was raining and mud was never a problem. Woke up the sound of Red headed woodpeckers and enjoyed our coffee.
Report Check-InSmooth gravel road, pretty big gravel horseshoe pullout. Arrived on a beautiful spring day on a Sat. @ 5pm. A few trucks drove by but no issues. Sire was not near a creek. Basic boondocking in the NF.
3-4 bars of Verizon.
Peace and quiet except 4 the coyotes in the distance. flat ground and fire pit, also at some point someone hung a clothes line. perfect getaway. got up here in my Ford econoline probably cant fit anything bigger. Cars up and down the road all morning 4 hunting. toilet is a few feet back in the woods if you're brave enough.
