Within Bull Shoals Recreation Area, this Army Corps of Engineers campground sits along the shoreline of Bull Shoals Lake with sites accommodating RVs up to 42 feet. The campground operates seasonally from April through October, with rates ranging from $20 to $54 per night depending on site type and hookups.
Oak trees provide substantial shade across the property, creating what campers describe as an almost forest-like atmosphere. Sites feature concrete pads with asphalt driveways, and many offer views of the lake through the tree line. The campground includes single, double, and triple sites for groups wanting to camp together. Water hookups require longer hoses to reach some sites, with several reviewers noting they needed 50-foot connections.
The bathhouses feature air conditioning and receive consistent praise for cleanliness and size. A recently renovated dump station serves campers without sewer hookups. Wayne P. notes the sites have "a lot of space between them with many Oak shade trees." An on-site marina provides lake access for boating and fishing, though water levels can affect boat ramp accessibility during certain periods.
Summer months bring higher occupancy, and boat traffic can complicate maneuvering larger RVs into some sites. For additional camping choices in the region, consider places to camp around Lakeview. Deer frequently wander through the campground, adding to the wooded setting that draws repeat visitors.
Description
Overview
Lakeview Park Campground is located on Bull Shoals Lake. Set in the scenic Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, the lake has hundreds of miles of lake arms and coves perfect for boating, water sports, swimming, fishing and scuba diving. The lake also appeals to birders, naturalists, hunters and visitors seeking a fun and peaceful place to relax along the water.
Recreation
The lake is a water sports paradise. Marinas offer boat rentals, supplies and guides for hire. Year-round fishing tournaments keep fishermen active as they seek out 12-pound bass and other species ranging from pan fish to walleye. The lake holds several state fishing records and the nearby White River is a premier trout fishery in the central United States. There is also a 1.5-mile nature trail that begins in the campground.
Facilities
Lakeview Park Campground offers 78 campsites, all with electric hookups, along with two large group shelters. Amenities like hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, boat ramp, swimming area and playground make this campground popular among boaters, fishermen and families.
Natural Features
Lakeview is a large park with wooded campsites on a bluff overlooking the water. The lake and surrounding mountains are popular year-round as each season unfolds a new panorama. Summer contrasts lush green hardwoods and cedar glades against towering rocky bluffs and unusual rock formations. Fall foliage presents the renowned "flaming fall revue." Watching and photographing wildlife can be enjoyed in developed and undeveloped areas alike. Each year more than 100 bald eagles winter in the Bull Shoals area.
