Scenic hilly campground

Nice very scenic campground. Hilly with staggered rv slots, so it seems like everyone would have a great view of the lake. Bathrooms were locked for the season, I presume. Starlink worked well on our site (13)

Quiet campground, great for tent camping

Lost Bridge North was a very peaceful, pleasant campground. We stayed in the upper loop which was only had a handful of other campers, but was very quiet and private. The terrain was pretty rocky, but all of the spots had a leveled tent pad available. The road looked newly paved. The bathrooms were vault toilets(similar to an indoor port-a-potty) and did not have sinks available so you will need to wash up at your campsite. 

The showers were available at the campground area in the lower loop. We stayed in spot 48 which had a really lovely view of the lake through the trees. The lower loop looked a lot more active and the campsites had less privacy. But it would probably be better if you want to be close to the water and the social life. 

While you could walk down to the marina/swim beach area it was a curvy road without a shoulder so we choose to drive down instead. Same with getting access to the trail head.

Off Season Perfection

Visited here in early spring and were spoiled with amazing lake views and not many neighbors. When the trees leaf out I’m guessing you still would have good privacy. No water hook ups at the site (if you need to fill your tank the water next to vault toilet by the lake is the most flat) but 30 amp hook up made it very comfortable. Large concrete picnic tables and fire rings (some also have grills) at each site. Close enough to Bentonville to spend a day in town or exploring Crystal Bridges!

Nice site but crowded

Nice area, this part of Beaver Lake is very clean since it’s close to the dam. Marina is located here. Lost bridge south is quieter but still pretty busy. Boat ramp is in good condition, but kind of at a weird angle to back the truck in.

Fantastic Family Camp

We had a great time at this campground. We stayed in the “overflow” of this campground and much preferred the quiet setting that was partially empty to the packed main campground. We had to drive to the swimming beach but not a big deal. We also loved the great shade and breeze that blew through our campsite. Kept us cool on one of the hottest weekends of the year.  Much shadier in the "overflow" campground than the main campground.

There is a 5-mile trail that runs through the park. Pretty hard to follow in spots but one side of it runs along the lake and is beautiful. There are also some historical aspects to the trail that are interesting. 

Swim beach is okay. Make sure to pack water shoes. There isn't sand and it is very rocky.

Corp campground

Love this campground. Quiet peaceful right on the lake. Not the best kid friendly but they can enjoy some aspects of the park. Great hiking . Swimming area for kids. Marina right in park. All sites electric. No water at the sites. Up on a hill but all sites are level with great views of the lake. No showers in park area . Bathroom toilets at top of park. Many deer to watch. Not much good to ride bikes on .

Loved it!

The campsites are clean and level. Camped with a few disabled campers, and the sites were very accessible. You can camp right on the water and the views are beautiful.

Showers and bathrooms on site. A swim beach with drive up access. Picnic tables, water, and fire pits at each campsite. Lots of shade to keep you cool in the summer.

Bonus: The camp hosts are friendly and super cool. They lead some amazing lives, ask them about digging up dinosaur bones.

Lost Bridge North on Beaver Lake Ar.

Loved the site 9 and 10 was in the shade and right on the water . Great boat dock and plenty of parking . We was able to launch our kayaks from our camp site . Nice clean showers . The view from camp was absolutely beautiful . There is a place not to far away called Turpentine Creek wildlife refuge let me tell you that this is a place where these animals have been saved from a life of pain . The refuge has taken in these babies and now they do not have to worry about food . Every dollar that comes in goes to helping them so if you want to donate to something good this is it . They are a non- profit rescues facility for neglected and unwanted captive exotic cats. Pea Ridge Battle grounds is in the area to. Lots of places to see there.

Lost Bridge, I pick South over North Bridge; Gear Review: Esbit Camp Stove

Lost Bridge North is great, but I liked its sister campground a little better so I marked it as a three star. The North campground is a lot bigger and seems a little more crowded. Having said that it is very nice and is a solid option if the South is full.

GEAR REVIEW: Esbit Camp Stove = 3 stars. I bought one of these stoves at REI for $12.95 plus tax. It weighs 3.25 ounces and comes with 6 fuel tabs. They purport to be nearly odorless and no ash residue. That is kind of true.

The tabs do have a slight odor when burning but it is not bad. There is no "ash" residue from the fuel tab but it does leave a little chemical residue where the tab was sitting.

You should know that the fuel tabs last about 10-12 minutes long and therefore are really only good for bringing one or two cups of water to a boil. If you want to cook for longer than that you will need to use multiple fuel tabs. The tabs are also a little more difficult to light, especially if there is a wind. Plan on using multiple matches. Once the tab is fully engulfed you don't have mach to worry about it staying lit.

It is a great alternative to a fuel stove for backpacking because of the weight, but it comes with its limitations. I give it a three stars for weight and price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the relationship between Lost Bridge North Campground and Beaver Lake?

Lost Bridge North Campground sits directly on Beaver Lake, offering immediate lake access and stunning water views from virtually all campsites due to its hillside, staggered layout. Many sites are waterfront, allowing campers to launch kayaks directly from their campsite. The campground includes a swim beach with easy access, boat docks, and a boat ramp (though at a somewhat unusual angle). This section of Beaver Lake is particularly clean as it's located near the dam. The campground's proximity to the water makes it ideal for fishing, boating, and water recreation.

How do Lost Bridge North Campground reviews compare to Lost Bridge Marina?

Lost Bridge North Campground is larger and tends to be more crowded than its sister campground, Lost Bridge South. While North offers beautiful lake views and clean facilities, some visitors prefer the quieter atmosphere of the South campground. The North area provides convenient access to the marina, which features boat docks and plenty of parking for watercraft. Both locations are solid options, with North being a good alternative when South is full. The marina area offers boating services and is noted for being located in a particularly clean section of Beaver Lake near the dam.

Is there a map available of Lost Bridge North Campground?

Yes, maps of Lost Bridge North Campground are available. The campground features two distinct areas - the main campground and an overflow section, with sites distributed across upper and lower loops. The layout includes lakefront sites (such as sites 4, 9, and 10) and spots on the upper loop that still offer lake views due to the staggered, hillside design. For the most accurate and current map, check with the campground office upon arrival or visit the Army Corps of Engineers website before your trip.

What amenities are available at Lost Bridge North Campground?

Lost Bridge North Campground offers electric hookups at all sites (no water hookups), clean showers and bathrooms, picnic tables, water spigots throughout the grounds, and fire pits at each campsite. The campground features level sites with tent pads, boat docks, a swim beach with drive-up access, and ample parking. Many sites are right on the water with beautiful lake views. There's also a marina within the park and nearby hiking trails. The campground is accessible for disabled campers with level, well-maintained sites.
