Horseshoe Bend Rec Area & Campground

I was in site 61, which was awful. Right in the middle of screaming kids in the lake on 1 side, screaming kids on the playground on the other side. The site was so tight my mini Van barely fit. No place to sit at the fire pit at all. The bath house toilet wouldn't flush and was full of shit. I left and parked at the local cracker barrel! So dissapointing!

My wife and I stayed here for three and a half weeks. We moved sites several times due to the demand of incoming campers. Each site was extremely well kept and the wildlife around is flourishing. Each site offers a different view that will take your breath away with each sun rise and sun set. There is only one bath house with showers and a normal toilet but the water pressure is fantastic and the bath houses are clean and taken care of. The staff and rangers are extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Spent a few days camping with friends Nov Fri- Mon. Site 72. Site is flat with good space for RV or Camper. Big tent pad. Awning over concrete table. 30 AMP

We are in site #36, right on the water. Big pine trees & lots of shade. Flat & roomy. Concrete table & crushed rock pad, with nice flat pad for the camper. 30/50 amp, but no water hookups on this loop. There is, however, a drinking water spigot for campers to use to fill their holding tanks...so come prepared to bring drinking water &/or fill your holding tank for flushing, etc. Fantastic view & nice breeze off the water. I'm sure in summer, it'll be really nice to have the water just a few feet away to take a dip. All and all, a really great park. I'm sure as the season picks up into full swing, the sites will be even more maintained & will be in tip top shape. We'll be back.

Stay during off-season. The park was very clean and quiet. Park rangers routinely patrolled and it felt very safe.

Very nice & well kept campground. The restroom/shower house was clean. Cute little playground for kids & lots of shoreline to explore.

This camping area is great if you already have a nice rig but if you have a small rig and prefer to take showers in a nice bath house, this is not the campground for you. None of the sites have water hookups and the showers were awful. The stalls were filthy and too small so everything you bring with you gets soaked. Some of the camping pads are pretty steep so longer rigs will have trouble leveling if you’re camping close to the water. Pros: beautiful spot, lots of waterfront spots Cons: not level, gross showers, no water hookups, fire pits located behind the camping pad so not useful.

We stayed for 2 days and 2 nights: the overall area was calm and peaceful. However there were no restrooms open for the winter. It was definitely cold so don’t go in winters, but good for summer boating. Boat rentals available at nearby gas stations.

My reservation was partially cancelled. I called and asked for information. The campground Karen rudely refused to reveal the reason or predict future administration decisions.
Also hard to use their. Internet based reservation system when you are traveling in mostly poor coverage areas.

Just pulled up. Site 004. Site literally backs up to someone’s back yard. View is if old shed, roof tin, camper shells—all the things you’d store behind your house. It’s also a double spot. NO PRIVACY. Odd parking angles. Fire ring on one spot—literally on the other side of the concrete Parker marker from your RV. One side has O room for awning and limited space to swing a camper door. Lots of music and TV’s playing on this loop. 😞

Highly recommend

The lake itself is worth it, and the pine grove with the trail was pleasant, but the sites were cramped and unlevel and the map was difficult to read and not to scale. We’ll be back, but we know what to expect

This site is the largest most spacious COE Site on Beaver Lake.  Very large camp sites with easy access to the water.. 2 launch ramps for boats, marina on site.  Good access to town and great food at Monte Ne Inn .. newly remodeled sites along the waters edge as well.

Site is the largest on Beaver Lake, plenty of room for large vehicles or trailers .. 2 launch ramps for boats.  Close to a Rogers and close to great food. Be sure to check the power capabilities and most sites may not have sewer . Overall beautiful facility.

The lake views and ample tree coverage on most sites make me want to give this place 4-5 stars; we had a great time and will be back.

Had we not been with others though and only at our campsite, I’d probably rate it 2 stars. Many of the sites are crowded next to each other and the pads can be very unlevel; I had my small trailer up 5 leveling blocks on one side to make it level. Using our freshwater tank wasn’t a big deal, but the reservation website didn’t make that clear, so we were expecting water hookups. Also, the map wasn’t to scale, so our space had nearly no yard while the other one next to us had twice the normal size.

The location on the lake is great, the pines are gorgeous, but you need to do some research.

Found this gem tucked away in Northwest Arkansas. Corps of Engineers Campground. Very well-maintained. Gorgeous lake with lots of lakefront sites. Several bathhouses. Some with vault toilets but some with flush toilets and showers. Sites have electric but not water so fill your tank before you come.

Swimming area was very spacious. Nice playground for kids. (Closed currently due to COVID.) Dump station has easy access.

Sites are in several smaller groups so it would be great for camping with friends and family. Paved, smooth roads in and out. Quiet and good spacing between sites. Deer roaming around throughout. Fantastic price for lakeside camping.

Very clean with great lake views. Every time we stay here we meet new and exciting people. One of our favorite places.

Got a nice little spot on the lake to do some hammock camping for two nights. Was able to get this spot within the week which was a surprise as busy as it was. Campground is close to Rogers, Arkansas if you need any supplies. I used it as a gateway to head in to the Ozark National Forest which is about 1.5 hours away.

Shaded and spacious spots

The camp hosts were awesome! Campground was peaceful and quiet! I will go back!

Great family Corp campground. Some sites have electric and water some just electric. Great for walking, riding bikes. And walking the dog. Last Saturday weekend in October people decorate there sites and kids trick or treat the campers .

We stayed on a rustic plot with electricity. There was a trail going to Beaver Lake from our campsite which made for a grear personal fishing spot. The restrooms and showers were conveniently situated but could have been cleaner. (Lots of spiders and bugs!) The swimming beach was a short walk from our campsite and was more than perfect. The bluffs around the lake make it a scenic experience as well. Go! Enjoy!

We have a great visit! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the limited bathrooms. I didn't mind but when the girlfriend had to use the restroom it was a hike. The campground had fantastic trails and butted up right to the water. We will be back 100%!

Horseshoe Bend is another campground around Beaver Lake. Just like the others it is very pretty with a lot of camping options. They have probably the most lakeside options for camping, but currently most of the sites next to the lake are damaged from washed up trees and high water. Hopefully this is something that will be cleaned up and fixed in the off season.

The green space is well maintained and mowed with a lot of tall trees. This would be a four star campground if the majority of the lakeside campsites were operable.
