Outlet Area in AR -- Campground & RV Camping

Outlet Area Park sits just downstream of Blue Mountain Dam along the Petit Jean River Valley, framed by farmland and the Ouachita Mountains. The campground offers 26 reservable and 12 non-reservable sites with water and electric hookups, including three multi-family options and a fish cleaning station. Most sites sit on the river channel, which provides bank fishing for bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. Facilities include a playground, with a cypress-lined swim beach at nearby Waveland Park and bird dog trial grounds at the west end of the lake.

Getting there: From Booneville, Arkansas, follow State Highway 10 east for 17 miles to Waveland. Turn right on State Highway 309 and drive for one mile. Turn right again onto Waveland Park Road and continue another mile. Turn left on Outlet Park Road near the Blue Mountain Lake Field Office. The park is located south of Blue Mountain Dam.
