Our Story

Built by Riders, Run by Riders

Wolf Pen Gap ATV Campground sits on the edge of the Ouachita National Forest, one of the most densely trailed public lands in the southern United States. We opened our gates to give riders a place to park, rest, and start their engines without the hassle of backcountry scouting.

Whether you're a weekend warrior chasing ridge lines or a family looking for a low-key outdoor getaway, we've kept things simple: clean sites, direct trail access, and zero pretense. The forest does the rest.
