Lost Bridge North on Beaver Lake offers premium glamping accommodations near Garfield, Arkansas with direct water access and scenic lake views. This seasonal glamping destination operates from April through September, featuring electric hookups in a picturesque wooded setting where most sites overlook the water. "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," one visitor noted about the tranquil atmosphere. Several campgrounds in the area, including Prairie Creek and Horseshoe Bend, provide glamping options with modern amenities like electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, allowing guests to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.

According to a camper, "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." The surrounding region offers additional attractions like Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, Pea Ridge Battlegrounds, and the cultural amenities of nearby Rogers and Bentonville, including Crystal Bridges Museum. Most glamping sites are accessible by both vehicle and boat, with reservation options available through the Army Corps of Engineers reservation system.

"It was pouring down rain when I first arrived, and she suggested I move to a different site that was less flooded, and I’m so glad I did!"
"The campground was closed to tent camping but open for RV’s when I was there(Covid-19 precautions), but I was able to check out the tent area."
"I’ll start my review by saying I’ve never pitched my tent in this park but have visited many times. They added tent sites in 2019- they appear to be primitive and include a fire ring."
"There are great hiking trails in wooded hills on either side of the campground. The RV area has dedicated parking spots for each RV with picnic tables and fire pits."
"I like this campground because it’s close to Rogers. I use it when I’m working in the area to shorten my commute. Some sites have water and electric. All have electric."
"There is however a dump station on site. The bathrooms are also just average. There are stores close by but not at the camp grounds.
Easy access to the lake is a plus."
"We stayed in site 39, up the hill from the beach, very secluded site with lots of shade. The restroom was very nearby (not flush toilets)."
"Campsites are very spread out and some are really secluded. Only drawback was no water hookups. There was a common spigot however so we were able to fill fresh tank before setting up."

"No pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors."
"We brought our grandkids out for a weekend and stayed in one of the larger spaces with a deck and gas grill. They have had a blast."
from $32 - $225 / night
"We offer 30/50 amp electric service on all sites along with water and sewer hookups. We also offer free Wi-fi to our guests."
"Quiet, 4 minutes away from Roaring River State park. Great staff. Labor Day weekend the place was packed. Kid and dog friendly. Great to be there. Keeping on top of the list to camp there again."
"This was pretty secluded and I personally didn’t have but a bar of service in a couple spots. The site host was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas."
"Also the bathrooms are great! There is water access via one small trail that leads to Table Rock Lake however it is not necessarily the best place to be getting in the water."
ScoutIt’s great once you find the site that isn’t too narrow, steep or pavement broken. It’s like Cinderella’s slipper. We did find the perfect fit and enjoyed our stay. It’s quiet, wooded and has been pretty empty all week.
ScoutReally neat place it is the biggest waterfall in Oklahoma and really cool disc golf course neat hiking trails
ScoutSignage is poor and difficult to find your site. They are not kidding about tight quarters…bigger rigs will have to back up hilly and crooked road.
LegendFor an RV park in Branson this is a GREAT option. FHU, pool, coffee house, pizza shop, yurts, cabins, RVs and all the fun right in town. We wanted to stay in town and not at the state park this time and this is a great option for that. Brand new facilities for the pool coffeehouse and pizza shop. There are tree, houses and yachts and cabins with fire pits and hammocks and hot tubs. Great option for a girls trip or family Reunion or even couples weekend. The RV spots are nice and level with full hook ups. I would recommend the backend Woods sites if you are needing a little space and privacy. And especially shade. The pull through and sunset sites along with the basic Backing sites are lacking and shade and in the summer months that’s going to be a big deal. The most shaded site for sunset is 38. The best site that I could find overall was 43. We were in 39 and had to spend most of our time around back because there was too much sun even with our awning.
GuideWe loved visiting Table Rock Park. We will definitely be back! We stayed at campsite 1, spot 103, a 30 AMP electric site. It was $28 a day with an online fee and tax, put us at about $120 for 4 nights. Definitely worth it and will pay when we come back. Our campsite was in the sun most of the day and that kind of sucked, it was really hot around camp. Our site had a trail right behind it and that led down to a little rock shelf on the lake that was perfect for swimming! We fished there a little and saw some fish and had a few nibbles but didnt catch anything. We went to that spot almost every day we were there. Clean bathrooms, mostly clean showers, and trying out the laundry room tomorrow. Probably one of the nicer campgrounds we've stayed at. It was too hot to hike and the marina was booked on the paddle boats we wanted to rent so we're gonna come back bc this campground is open year round!
GuideHosts were very accommodating. Site was lovely. Coffee shop was great. We did get a pizza one night, delicious. My only “complaint” We selected a site by the dog park on the map, but there is not a dog park.
ScoutWow 2 pools are huge size. Indoor & outside both . Shower houses public bathrooms 5 shower houses 10-15 showers 2 laundry's ,lodge, food golf carts entertainment ....block outside entrance live branson shows....
ScoutOur stay at Treasure Lake RV Resort in Branson was extremely frustrating due to a complete failure in communication by the staff.
Before arriving, I had three separate conversations with the campground staff regarding the dates we wanted to stay. At no point during any of those conversations were we informed about blackout dates that would affect our stay. Had this information been communicated upfront, I would have made different plans.
Instead, when we arrived we were informed that we would have to vacate three days earlier than planned because of these blackout dates. This was not our mistake, it was a failure on the campground's staff to provide accurate information when we specifically discussed our stay dates multiple times.
What makes the situation even more disappointing is that management had several opportunities to make things right and chose not to. Good customer service means taking ownership of mistakes and working with customers to find a reasonable solution. Unfortunately that did not happen here.
Because our stay was cut short by three days, we were unable to take advantage of many of the resort amenities. The shortened stay significantly reduced the value we received from our RPI membership and visit.
Potential guests should also understand that this is a first-come, first-served campground and does not accept reservations. If you are traveling under an RPI membership, be prepared that you may not receive the same level of consideration as other guests. We certainly felt like second-class customers.
The campground itself may have nice facilities but customer service and communication matter. Unfortunately, Treasure Lake failed in both areas during our stay and because of that we will not return.
ScoutWe have are here for 3 days it is so nice, peaceful, and clean.

When the trees leaf out I'm guessing you still would have good privacy," noted a visitor to Lost Bridge North, highlighting the advantages of spring visits before peak season crowds arrive.
Site levelness varies significantly: Prepare for uneven terrain at many campgrounds. A camper at Rocky Branch Campground stated, "The pads are tired an drastically unlevel. The sites themselves are a PITA to get into. Crazy sharp turns & rediculously steep." Bringing leveling blocks is recommended for RVs and trailers.
Water hookups limited at some sites: Not all sites offer full hookups. "Not 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," a Lost Bridge North camper noted, pointing out the need to fill tanks before setting up.
Shower availability varies by season: Many campgrounds have seasonal bathroom facilities. "Bathrooms were locked for the season, I presume," observed a Lost Bridge North visitor in late season. During off-peak months, plan for limited or closed shower facilities at Corps of Engineers campgrounds.

We selected spots with amazing views and we were not disappointed," shared one visitor, noting the importance of site selection for optimal experiences.
Electric service considerations: When glamping in Garfield area campgrounds, check power specifications. "Check the power capabilities and most sites may not have sewer," advised a Horseshoe Bend camper, highlighting the need to verify hookup details when reserving.
Site access challenges: Larger RVs face accessibility issues at some locations. "The upper sites are tough to negotiate and are not very level... large Motorhomes are not recommended for these sites," cautioned a visitor to Rocky Branch Campground. Researching specific site dimensions before booking prevents arrival complications.
Best sites for lake views: Select sites strategically for optimal experiences. "Site is the largest on Beaver Lake, plenty of room for large vehicles or trailers... 2 launch ramps for boats.
