Campground details
Setting
Stephens Park is a quiet campground on the shores of Lake Hamilton, situated just below Blakely Mountain Dam in the Ouachita Mountains. The facility offers 9 large sites with full hookups (water, sewer, and 50-amp electric), along with a shower house and playground. Shoreline fishing is accessible directly from the park and the adjacent Avery Day-Use Area. Two nearby boat launches—Spillway Ramp for Lake Ouachita and Avery Ramp for Lake Hamilton—provide water access. The Wood Duck Slough trail and the 44-mile Lake Ouachita Vista Trail pass right by the campground.
