Directions and Factoids
Directions: From Conway, Arkansas, travel west for 7 miles on SR-60 and follow signs into the
campground.
From Interstate 40 take exit 129B and head South on Dave Ward Drive/Hwy 286. Continue for
7.5 miles until you reach a stop sign. Turn left and continue over the bridge. Immediately
after the bridge (and right before the Toad Suck One Stop) take a hard right and follow
the gravel road to the right to get to the main gate. You will drive under the bridge and
the gate is on the left.
Factoid: Situated in the eastern edge of both the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, the area is a haven
for nature enthusiasts. Dogwood, Red bud, Wild Plum, and other native flowering trees offer
breathtaking sights in the spring. Flaming leaves brighten the hillsides with their
changing colors in the fall. It is a welcome scene for any camera "bug" or nature lover.
Roads lead to numerous parks that include all the modern camping facilities.
