Coming out here — Dagmar Camping Area #4 · Sheffield Nelson Dagmar WMA · AR
- Surface water mapped nearby: USGS maps Big Robe Bayou as a swamp or marsh (no flow class in the record), ~0.4 mi from the pin (National Hydrography Dataset, data refreshed October 2022). The record carries no flow class for it. Nobody has checked it for you. Filter or boil anything you drink.
- Ground slope around the pin: about 0.3% — flat. Measured on USGS's 3DEP elevation model (1 m data here), sampled every 10 metres around the point. That is the hillside, not the ground under your wheels — a graded pullout or a bench a few metres across is too small to show up at that spacing, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- Rail line mapped ~5.1 mi from the pin — the national rail atlas classes it as a main line. That is the FRA/BTS North American Rail Network (data updated Jul 21, 2026), which records that a line is there and what class of track it is. Whether anything runs on it, how often, and at what hour, it does not say, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- Interstate 40 is mapped ~0.5 mi from the pin. Straight-line, from the Census's TIGER/Line primary roads (TIGER/Line 2025, released Oct 2025) — the divided, limited-access highways, which is why a state expressway or a two-lane US route near this camp would not appear here.
- Power: Dave carries his own — batteries or solar. A generator will run your rig and it is also the thing everybody camped near you can hear.
- Getting online: Dave recommends Starlink. He has had it since SpaceX introduced it, used it for four years living on the road, and it delivers as promised — several hundred nights out, and he can count on one hand the places he could not connect. The cable on his unit runs 150 feet, which is usually all it takes to find enough sky. Starlink → Referral link — Starlink pays Dave $100 in cash if you sign up through it, and that money funds this site and the next trip. It costs you nothing and does not change the recommendation.

Confidence
Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
Sheffield Nelson Dagmar WMA designated camping area, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. LEGAL BASIS -- AGFC 2026-27 General WMA Regulations, agfc.com/regulations/general-wma-regulations/ read 2026-08-16, verbatim: "Unless otherwise noted under a specific WMA, camping is limited to no more than 14 consecutive days and must be in a designated camping area." Also: "It is unlawful to camp or use any campsite for more than 30 days total during one calendar year"; camps "may not remain unoccupied for more than 48 hours"; "Creating a disturbance after 10 p.m. is not allowed"; it is unlawful to possess alcoholic beverages on Commission-controlled WMAs. FIRE: you may not "burn any noncombustible materials in campsites", "burn wood, brush or grass outside of designated campsites", or "leave a fire unattended or allow one to escape from control". THE 'UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED' CLAUSE IS LOAD-BEARING -- individual WMAs override these numbers, so read that WMA's own page at agfc.com/wma/ before publishing a stay limit. ACCESS PERMIT, NOT A CAMPING FEE: AGFC's general WMA regulations state "All campers 16 and older on AGFC-owned WMAs must have a valid hunting or fishing license or a WMA/Lake Conservation Permit ($10.50)." That is a right-of-access permit for the whole area. AGFC publishes NO separate per-night camping charge for these sites, and its own GIS marks this point 'No Fee Site' -- which is why fee=0. THIS WMA, CHECKED DIRECTLY: AGFC's page for this WMA, read 2026-08-16: "There are 14 primitive campsites on the area maintained by area personnel." 10,297 acres; "The Commission owns the entire area." Hunting seasons run on these areas. Check agfc.com/wma for current season dates, permit hunts and any closure before you go, and wear hunter orange in season. AGFC records NO 'last_verified_date' for this point -- age unknown. COORDINATE PROVENANCE: the latitude and longitude on this row are AGFC's own, taken from the public ArcGIS service https://gisec2.agfc.com/arcgis/rest/services/GIS/AGFC_DATA/MapServer layer 1 ('Public Use Facilities'), queried 2026-08-16 for ftype IN ('RVs Allowed - No Hookups','Tents Only','RVs Allowed - Hookups','RVs Allowed - Hookups and Dump'). This is the agency's mapped facility point, NOT a field visit and NOT a geocode. The fee flag on this row is AGFC's own 'fdescrip' column reading 'No Fee Site'. AGFC does not publish per-site facility detail, so the presence of a table, fire ring, toilet or trash service is UNKNOWN and is not claimed here. NO WATER SOURCE IS CLAIMED -- treat any lake, river or bayou nearby as NON-POTABLE. AGFC's facility type for this point is 'RVs Allowed - No Hookups'. Nearest town: Fredonia (Biscoe) ~6.2 mi. 'Nearest town' is STRAIGHT-LINE distance to the nearest OpenStreetMap place=city/town/village and is NOT a driving distance; in the Delta bottoms and the Ouachitas the road in can be far longer. Ingest 2026-08-16. STATUS=pending: this is a lead for review, not published. | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low. Fee value is the agency's own, not field-checked. Not field-verified -- confirm access, road conditions and fire rules before you go.
