Ashdown AR Millwood lake

Could someone tell us which is the best park
on Millwood lk for rv camping ? Never been there.
Also is there any RV camping around Albert pike,
Little Missouri falls or Bard springs ?
Thanks, James

  • Thanks for the replies and if anyone finds
    out anything about Millwood lake let me please.
    Going to make trip there next week.
  • There is camping available at Bard Springs, but it is very small. I agree about Albert Pike. Such a beautiful place and it's ashamed it may never open again. One of my favorite places. Maybe they should install early flood warning systems and reopen. Build a monument to all those that perished.
  • Lake Millwood
    It is great for fishing and camping. Not skiing and swimming.

    Unfortunately I don't think they will ever reopen Albert Pike, which is a shame. grew up in this area so I think they are wrong for closing it. What happened was tragic but closing it forever is not going to serve any purpose.
    I don't think they have camping at Bard Springs or Little Missouri Falls, just day use. Shady lake has good camping.
  • Thanks for the info, I saw Shady lk on map so its good to know
    on rv sites. I guess no body knows much about Millwood, placed
    2 topics on it and no answers. According to stae park info
    supposed to be good bass fishing lake.
  • Don't much about Millwood. Friends have stayed here and said it was nice. I don't think the campground has ever opened back up at Albert Pike since the big flood that killed about 21 people and Bard Springs is very remote and would be a treacherous drive pulling an RV. Besides, it is very small and mostly for tents/hikers. Shady Lake is very near Bard Springs and has RV sites. It's a very nice small campground in the area and would not be too difficult to get to. You would have to drive about 3 miles of gravel road to get to Shady Lake.
