Dispersed Camped Jack Creek - Lake Vista Lookout - Ouachita National Forest - Arkansas
I found a perfect little dispersed camping spot right on Jack Creek in the Ouachita National Forest. Plenty of shade and the cold Jack Creek water really helps with cooling down after a day of exploring the forest. I rode my Ebike to the Lake Vista to see the sprawling view of the national forest, and rode over to the Free Buck Ridge Shooting Range. Great spot to spend lazy summer days at. Thanks for watching!

You bet! Beautiful area around there for sure!
Awesome, I am from Arkansas, but was living in AL when me and my six rescues hit the road full time about 16 months ago (I ride a Honda 450 Dual Sport). We only stay in dispersed campsites and didn't know there were any in Arkansas! Thanks for the information! P.S. just looked up the dispersed camping guidelines for the Ouachita National Forest, cannot believe what I just read - "You may camp in a dispersed area for up to 30 days. After 30 days, you must move at least 5 road miles for camping in another dispersed area. Campers may not return to the same campsite within the calendar year."

There are definitely lots of dispersed camping spots in the Ozarks and Ouachita's. I've got it in my head to visit them all before I die. LOL Ouachita NF is definitely a great place to visit.
Wow! Another incredible spot! Thank you for sharing~

We sure liked Western Arkansas. We just didn't have time to find the good Mark Signature disbursed spots, but what we did find was great. Blanchard Springs, Lake Dardanelle, Mt. Nebo, Ouachita State Park, Texas Roadhouse Steak dinner, Big Fir, Wilhelmina State Park, and other placces in-between. We did see a couple gun ranges which I wish we had here in Washington. Take care Mark.

@DispersedCamperMan We plan to return to Arkansas. It really is that nice there to bring us back. I just happened to chat with a guy walking by the house, very interested in the truck and camper. He was from Littlerock of all places, so we had a good travel conversation.
Can't beat camping creekside! Glad you like your e bike. Cool to have the shooting range there. What a gorgeous area! Tks 👍😎🇨🇦

I can't believe this video appeared on my KZread feed. We just sold a 160 acre farm on State Hwy 217 between Booneville and Sugar Grove a month ago and moved to NE Texas. I know exactly where that Lake Vista view is, as I have been there several times. It is such a beautiful area. You didn't mention it, but the mountain across the lake is Mount Magazine, the highest mountain in Arkansas.

Dad and I had a black bear jump out of a tree in front of us, then immediately it ran into the woods while riding those trails out there on dirt bikes

I don't know about Arkansas but next door in Oklahoma you need a hunting license to make use of the gun ranges located on Wildlife Management Areas.
@DispersedCamperMan

Jack Creek is not a WMA, it's part of the Ouachita National Forest. The shooting range is maintained and operated by the Federal Forest Rangers, not state leased WMA's. I've never heard of WMA's shooting ranges needing hunting licenses to use them either. I hope it doesn't turn into that.
How about a video explaining exactly how you get cell service through your StarLink dish arrangement? Which cell service do you use? THANKS!!!

Hello! I have Verizon. When I'm out in the boonies with no cell service, I use my starlink for Wi-Fi calling. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. To turn on Wi-Fi calling, go to settings, then Cellular, then Wi-Fi Calling. Turn on the Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone. It's that easy. Most cell phones have this option. Hope this helps.
