Ozark Natl Forest: questions from a dummy

I am trying to get down to AR this weekend (Memorial Day weekend) for some relaxing camping and exploration. I’m not looking to get weird on technical trails. A little wading, gravel biking, hiking, and not working should suit my wife and I fine.

I have Gaia, but I’m new to it and I’m a little overwhelmed. Does anyone have tips or tricks for using Gaia, good points of access to the area, or spots to avoid that could help me out? We are looking for dispersed camping spots and are set up for being away from any and all amenities.

Thanks in advance! I’m stoked to get some advice. I’ve canoed north of there quite a bit over the years, but have only gone from the truck straight to the river and haven’t hit gravel or forest roads yet.
