This is near Albert Pike camp grounds. Usually no water running here in the summer. Looks more like a river than a creek.  (Mindy Fletcher)

The last vehicle was pulled out of the Albert Pike campground Tuesday afternoon.

The campsite is quiet except for the work of the U.S. Forestry Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.

"We also have safety officers along with hazardous materials folks looking at identifying for example propane tanks that may have been left behind," Art Morrison with the U.S. Forestry Service.

Crews are also looking at damaged trees that need removal and roads, bridges, anything that needs repair.

The picturesque mountain in Ouachita National Forest is just one reminder of flash flooding danger.

Crews are fanned out Tuesday in woods along the Little Missouri River, farther than the forestry service will allow our cameras to go.

Art Morrison says the damage assessment should take a few days.

"And then they'll have to program out what they're going to do to make right what's gotten pretty badly messed up in here," Morrison says.

And no one knows when the Albert Pike Campground might reopen.
