The ants were terrible and the showers did not work properly lack of pressure and couldn't adjust the temperature of the water, it would scald you it was so hot, the sinks were not that way. The ventilation system is inadequate.

Camp sites are not even close to level. Be prepared. Site we reserved, power was not working. Very little service to work through web site changes to reservation.

I’m from out of state and put lake ouachita in my GPS. It took me to the other side of the lake where there is an office. I talked to a random person who has camped at the lake many times who informed me to put the name of the campsite in the gps. Then there is no office so the gps was taking me to the lake where the homes were and not the campsite. I finally found it but wouldn’t recommend since it’s so hard to find and there’s very little grocery options around this area. The bathroom could use a fan or open window to allow fresh air, you are only in there for a few minutes and already start sweating. Put an address or directions in the email.
