Lenox Marcus Recreation Area Bismarck, AR 71929

"Easy place for some overnight camping. Not a lot of people. Quiet."

"This once was heaven on earth. Not the case any longer. Worse thing that ever happened was paving the road to get here. Now every druggy for 20 miles likes this place. Free camping. Restroom is either closed or nasty at all times. It has primitive camping...Tables are either destroyed or gone as are the grills. I recommend any other location on lake DeGray."

"I drove to location just to see what was there. This part of the park has a large boat access for putting in your boat. There is a very limited camping spots near the boat landing. It has limited resources like restroom or water access. There is no outside source of energy to power your stuff if you didn't bring an electric generator or battery charge converter. There is also no phones and I didn't have great wireless service, half of a bar, if I needed help. The place overall was clean and mowed. In winter, it would be a great place to view geese or ducks coming in to stay for the winter season."
