Accessible by boat, car, or on foot, Ouachita River Haven provides multiple ways to reach its forested sites along the Ouachita River in Pencil Bluff. The private campground charges $25-$65 per night and accepts reservations, with electric and water hookups available for RVs. Sites include picnic tables, and campfires are permitted with firewood available for purchase.
The facility offers restrooms and showers, and pets are welcome throughout the property. Campers can explore nearby Rocky Shoals just under three miles south for additional river access. The combination of drive-in convenience and boat-in options makes this a practical base for river activities.
