Sally & I tested out the new offroad trailer for a quick 24hr. bugout to the Narrows in Gerry's Ferry & camped next door to Andrew & his family. Had a site close the waters edge. The two lakes and the Narrows totals about 40,500 acres with a combined shoreline of just over 340 miles.

The trailer performed flawlessly in towing, & camping with no problems, had a Cleburne County sheriff officer visit with me for about 40 minutes asking all kinds of questions about the finish trailer project I completed. Wanted details on the build as he is interested in building one for him & his wife. Enjoyed ourselves, good eats, weather was good, great company Sally my wife, Sadie Girl (our rat terrier), Andrew my son, Crystal & the twin girls . We are currently planning a offroad dispersed camping trip real soon.
Last photo is my son's camper, truck & jeep

Is there lots of dispersed camping available in that area? Is this a fee area or free?
Yes, The Spring Mountains has many free dispersed camping opportunities. This spot was in the Lovell Canyon area, but I have also camped Lee canyon (Macks Canyon rd. higher elevation (7500-8000) so watch the weather) and The Wheelers Pass area (both trail to pass and group area) again elevation makes it a very cool spot even mid-summer.

Gunner Pool, we were up above Gunner Pool aka Sylamore Rangers District National Forest. Oct is deer season in Arkansas & the locals flood that area to hunt, you'll be lucky to find a camp spot & the National Forest above Gunner Pool (that's were we were) is heavily hunted until Dec.
Good to know. I may just need to book a site at a state park well in advance. just got back from Devil's Den 2 weeks ago and really like that area - may be a repeat for Oct.

My dad, sister and niece are in town from Arizona for a month. My niece has never camped......tent, trailer, or otherwise and probably never will at least while living with her parents. So I asked my daughters if they'd wanna do a camp out in the back yard with my niece. Up went the Clam gazebo and my tent in the truck. Got a campfire going, roasted some hot dogs, marshmallows, made pies in the pie iron. Wind was crazy that night.....pushed the clam roof in twice and the side once. We ended up doing breakfast in the house as it rained overnight and was still a little wet (hey the house/kitchen were right there anyway). Niece made it the whole night and seemed to enjoy it. Girls have camped quite a few times growing up. Sister a few times with the girl scouts and god knows how many times my father has in his 50+ yrs doing stuff with the scouts and his years of hiking at Philmont Scout Ranch. Successful Friday camp night.........even if it wasn't in the mountains, by a stream, in a forest, etc.
