"Sitting next to a campfire at night with hot coco is one of our favorite things. Bull Shoals is a quaint sleepy little town."
"Bull Shoals SP has a large campground with decent sites. Most of the sites are level and suitable for a tent and have some privacy. The real attraction at this SP is the lake. "
"The location is great in the sense that it’s easy to get to and it’s laid out well. Unfortunately, it’s directly under an overpass and it is loud- loud enough that I used ear plugs at night."
"It's a beautiful rv resort next to the water. Step out of your rv and you will see some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the United States. "
$22 - $54 / night
"Large wooded sites on Bull Shoals lake with private covered patios, fireplace, grill, water & electric, level concrete slabs and large clean bathhouse...for $10 to $24/night depending on your qualifying"
"You could see Bull Shoals Lake through the trees. Bathrooms clean. The water hookup was quite a distance from the site and had to use three hoses to make it reach."
$20 - $50 / night
"Some sites you may not be long enough for your entire rig and you would park your tow vehicle next to your camper. Shade was plentiful. There are five different loops."
"Paved roads to all the way to your camp site, showers, and a fantastic dinner 5 minutes away may not sound like luxury but Arkansas hllls usually make you work hard to enjoy their beauty."
"The location between the 2 old bridges make a perfect backdrop at any time if the day."
"Location is close to town, the Marina & State Park and also Gastons. Giving it 4 stars for the cabins, but not so much for the campground."
"Took my wife and daughter to gastons for a visit and to get out on some walking trails. They have a nature preserve there and it was great to visit."
"They also have a really nice outdoor nature trail area filled with at least a dozen or more peacocks. I could just spend the afternoon here watching the planes land and take off!"
"Beach with in walking distance, but also in accessible in high water."
"We got a campsite right on the banks of the lake. The view was outstanding and the campsites were shady with lots of trees. They provide a picnic table, trash hook, and fire pit."
$20 - $35 / night

"Knowledgeable staff, quiet park right next to the river. Not all sites have campfire rings but they are available. We brought our own with an ample supply of firewood."
"There is a staircase down to the water next to site 8. The fishing is good. It’s a pet friendly site however if your dogs bark neighbors will complain. The manager is friendly."
GuideGreat place to stay which is the norm for Army Corp of Engineers locations. Near Silver Dollar City. Our sites were not shaded but most others were. We saw lots of squirrels, a chipmunk and a few deer. The marina nearby had a nice Floating Cafe.
ScoutI've never been to this site but I live in Springfield just a few miles away and camping is by permit only, and permits can not be obtained online or by phone, you have to go in person to the Missouri department of conservation office, don't know if you can go to any office or specifically the one in Springfield, but there is one in Springfield; 2630 N Mayfair ave
ScoutFirst time at Old Hwy 86 campground. It is so clean, other campers are friendly and respectful! Took the kayaks out on the lake! Perfect day!
TravelerMost of the sites on this app that say there's just first camping this area or wrong. They've been turned into day. Use only areas. We did find this small road with a loop at the end that have pull-in campsites. They're nothing special, some of them are overgrown. Mostly all of them don't have any kind of fire ring. Looks like nobody really ever comes out here. There's a big one at the very end of the road where the circle is. It does have a rock fire ring and it's probably the nicest one available. There was nobody here when I came so it was fun to let the dogs run.
If you go down the road to what used to actually be the Noblett Lake campground (it is now a picnic area, no overnight camping allowed). They do have vault toilets available but they're gross.
This road and loop is just straight primitive camping. Nothing special at all.
TravelerPretty much all the campsites listed in this area have been turned into day use only/ No camping here spots. The gate to go down towards this campsite was locked.
ScoutNice, easy and quiet with a great pool and lake access! We will definitely be coming back. Site 47 has a bit of sun
ScoutWe had camping site A, which is right on Lake Taneycomo. Sites are very large with full hookups. The resort has a nice pool and laundry facilities you can use. We stayed for 21 nights in July of this year. You are about a 20 minute drive to Branson and 5 minutes to Forsyth. We were in a 33 foot motorhome with a boat trailer and a truck also on the site and there was plenty of room. Laura was very good to deal with. She gets back to you promptly.
ScoutWe have recently moved our tiny home to this lovely quiet family-owned park. They are open to more fulltime residents and are tiny home friendly. There are no resort-type features. But, there is bath house with laundry and gorgeous tree shaded lots on gravel drives with full utilities. Outside of Yellville, AR there no restrictions against tiny home living. A fourth generation country grocery store is about two miles away and includes a real butcher shop and fresh produce. A Walmart, full service hardware store and the fishing paradise of Bull Shoals Lake(with the only remaining operational ferry in Arkansas) make this a great location to retire. No highway noise but close to Branson with the Ozark mountains all around you make it the spot for us.
TravelerGreat stopover. Hosts are very accommodating. I am the only camper here tonight. Very quiet. PJ'S restaurant was wonderful.
