About This Access Site
The Campground Road boat ramp provides convenient access to the Caddo River and DeGray Lake in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. This access site is part of the Alpine Ridge Campground, which offers camping, a sandy beach, and other recreation amenities.

For paddlers, the Caddo River upstream of the boat ramp tends to be a narrow, meandering stream well-suited for kayaks and canoes. Downstream, the river flows into DeGray Lake, a large reservoir with open water that is popular for motorboats, water skiing, and other water sports. Boaters should be aware of changing water levels and weather conditions on the lake.

The boat ramp provides a paved launch area for easy loading and unloading. Parking is available nearby. Visitors should check the campground's hours and any fees that may apply. Overall, this access point offers a scenic and convenient option for exploring the Caddo River and DeGray Lake by paddle or motorized craft.
