Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a landscape where the crystal-clear waters of DeGray Lake mirror the sky, fed by the pristine Caddo River as it winds through ancient valleys. The campground's shoreline setting offers front-row seats to nature's daily performances – from misty mornings when the lake surface turns to glass, to dramatic sunsets that set the Ouachita ridgelines ablaze. Towering pines and hardwoods create a verdant canopy overhead, while the gentle lapping of waves provides a soothing soundtrack to your stay.
Geological RegionPoint Cedar sits proudly in the foothills of the ancient Ouachita Mountains, overlooking DeGray Lake – one of Arkansas's renowned five Diamond Lakes celebrated for their exceptional clarity and purity. This geological wonderland showcases exposed rock formations that tell the story of continental collisions millions of years ago, while the lake itself fills a valley carved by time and water. The result is a recreational paradise where pristine waters meet rugged mountain beauty, creating one of the South's most stunning camping destinations.
