Located in east-central Arkansas, the St. Francis National Forest is often called "an island in the river," as it emerges from the delta plains of Arkansas and Mississippi. The Forest is 21,201 acres of majestic oaks, sycamores, and buckeyes, providing campers with a chance to get back to nature in a bountiful woodland paradise. The peaceful solitude and breathtaking beauty surprises many of its first-time visitors.
St. Francis National Forest boasts a pair of man-made lacks full of largemouth bass, crappie, redeyed bream, and Channel catfish. Bear Creek Lake spans 625 acres, with the Beech Point and Lone Pine campgrounds nestled on its shores. Beech Point has 17 camp sites, while Lone Pine has 14. Neither one has hookups or RV waste stations, but each site can accommodate tents, cars, and RVs. There are also tables and grills at each site.
Storm Creek Lake is at the southern end of the Forest and is 425 acres, making it large enough to allow a variety of recreational water vehicles. The Storm Creek Lake campground is the highest of the three, having an elevation of 100 feet. There are 12 total camping sites available, all with the same sparse amenities of its two sister campgrounds. Don't expect all the comforts of home. There are no showers or flush toilets. This is roughing it at its finest. But there is plenty of good fishing. Seasoned anglers won't want to miss out on the fun of St. Francis National Forest.
