Beaver Lake
Overview
Starkey Campground sits along the vast shores of Beaver Lake in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, offering spacious and sunny campsites and an abundance of recreational activities.
Recreation
Fishing opportunities are plentiful near Starkey Campground. Beaver Lake has more than 28,000 surface acres of water, and anglers can try their luck at catching large and small-mouth bass, crappie, bream, white bass, stripers, and channel or spoon-bill catfish. Just below the dam, the cold waters of the upper White River provide a perfect habitat for pole-bending rainbow and record-size German brown trout. Several trails snake throughout the Ozark Mountains, offering peaceful hiking, biking and wildlife viewing opportunities for visitors. Hunters will find game plentiful in northwest Arkansas. A mixture of hardwood and evergreen forest provides a good home to many different species of wildlife. While Beaver Lake is conveniently located near several population centers, within a short driving distance hunters can find remote areas filled with upland game animals such as deer, rabbits and squirrels. Many other sports and activities await campers, including boating, swimming, picnicking, scuba diving, water skiing, spelunking and sightseeing.
Facilities
Starkey Campground has large campsites with plenty of shade and room for activities, and is steps away from the lake shore. Fire rings, picnic areas, drinking water all make for a comfortable camping getaway. A boat ramp and playground make the area perfect for families and other large groups.
Natural Features
Towering limestone bluffs, natural caves and a variety of trees and flowering shrubs surround Starkey Campground, making it an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. Beaver Lake and Dam, completed in 1966, was constructed in the White River Basin and boasts 449 miles of beautiful shoreline at the top of the conservation pool. Although the dam was originally built for flood control, hydroelectric power and public water supply, it has also created a popular recreational oasis.

Lots of deer
We saw so many deer in park and on the way in! This was the campground I wanted to stay at but I’m glad I didn’t. Only one (possibly 2) restrooms and no flush toilets. Road is extremely rough, pavement is coming apart and so are the sites. Didn’t look like it had been mowed recently either. It’s a beautiful place if someone would take the time to do repairs
Great views
We had a great time at Beaver lake, unfortunately it didn’t have water hook up 😏
The view was amazing!

Okay in the winter but maybe not spring or summer
I like to get away when I camp. I’m happy with me, my motorcycle, and a hammock. This campground was great but I’m guessing it’s not much of escape in summer time and looks like it would get cramped pretty quickly.
