Big Brushy Campground

9 sites · RV, Tent
Located just 20 miles west of Hot Springs, the campground at Charlton Recreation Area is your premier opportunity for some splish-splash’n fun. Campsites sit beside the picturesque Walnut Creek, a cold, spring-fed mountain stream in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest. Here you can enjoy peaceful picnics, a hike through the wooded wilds, a baptismal dip in the swimming hole, and most importantly, fresh fish for dinner! The swimming area is formed by a captivating native stone dam, and features an old rustic bathhouse. Camping with vintage charm!
