Talimena State Park Camping
Small wooded creekside campground at the western end of the Talimena Scenic Drive, the ridge-top highway through the Ouachitas
A compact wooded campground at the western end of the Talimena Scenic Drive, the ridge-top highway that runs along the Ouachita Mountains into Arkansas. Staying here means you can start the drive early, before the pull-offs fill up, and the shaded creekside sites are a comfortable base for a day of overlooks and short trails. The park is small with tent and RV sites and a picnic area rather than a resort-style list of amenities. Fall foliage in late October is the peak draw and the reason to book ahead.
