There was light skirmishing reported in Camden on May 18th. Two Federal cavalry regiments approached the town from the direction of Coney and engaged with two Confederate Arkansas cavalry regiments in the west section of town. Light skirmishing took place throughout the day, with the Federals retiring to Sylvan Hills just northwest of town for the night.
Arkadelphia was quiet on the 18th. The Confederate cavalry that had skirmished there the previous day quietly took to the road towards Greenville in the early morning.
