Guide
Stayed 3 nights. Weekend had a few family gatherings near us, but the weekdays we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Campground is well maintained with beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. We were in upper section (electric only) - the lower section next to the marina has full hookups. There are a few pull-through, but most sites are back-in and long enough for al most any rig.
Scout
This location has been a great place. It is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and the area is peaceful. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a campground in Branson Mo. It is also a short and scenic drive to what ever suites you in Branson.
Traveler
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was the week after Labor Day and was mostly vacant, making for a quiet stay. Love the amenities for kids! The only reason I give 4 stars is the dog policy— it’s very strict, and there isn’t a dog park type area to let pets off leash to play & get energy out.
Guide
Flat Sites, Clean, Nice Amenities, Nice Staff, Little Exposed in heat to Sun. Best shades sites rented in advance. (Site 24-27)
Scout
Very nice and spacious sites with lots of trees and shade. Good hiking and views of the falls. Unless you’re a fan of oval dirt track racing, most Friday and Saturday nights in the summer and fall are pretty loud until after 11:00 at night.

I am extremely disappointed with our recent stay at Buffalo Outdoor Center RV Park in Ponca, Arkansas. After a 7.5-hour drive, we arrived on June 29, 2024, eager to enjoy a week-long stay. Unfortunately, our visit turned into a nightmare within just one hour of our arrival. While setting up our 5th wheel trailer, there was a loud pop followed by smoke pouring out of our TV. Thankfully, my husband was able to unplug it before our trailer caught fire. To our dismay, none of the outlets on one side of our trailer were working, and our TV, microwave, and fan were all fried and non-functional. We immediately contacted an employee who came to our site, inspected the outside meter post by looking at it, not testing it, and nonchalantly stated that since there was no smoke coming from it, the problem must be on our end. When my husband asked for immediate assistance, the employee told us we would have to wait two days, until Monday, and go to a nearby town to find someone to help us. This response was unacceptable and showed a complete lack of concern for our safety. Moreover, the employee had the audacity to shame us by asking if we had a GFI power surge protector plugged into the meter. None of the other RV sites had this, and in our 23+ years of camping, we have never encountered such an issue. Feeling unsafe and unsupported, we decided to pack up and drive the 7.5 hours back home, after being at the site for just one hour. The lack of assistance and options provided by the Buffalo Outdoor Center was disheartening, especially considering we were in a completely different state with no information on what we could do. Upon arriving home, we hooked up our camper at our local campground, and everything worked fine. We also went on another camping trip to a local RV campground, and again, everything worked perfectly. This clearly indicated that the surge was on Buffalo Outdoor Center's end. When we requested a refund, they refunded all but one day. This is unacceptable considering the distress, inconvenience, and financial loss we endured, including having to purchase a new TV, microwave, and fan. Our experience at Buffalo Outdoor Center RV Park was nothing short of a disaster. The lack of customer service, concern for our safety, and willingness to provide immediate assistance was appalling. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this RV park to anyone.

We were just passing through and stayed for a night. We had sewer, water, and electric hookup. A nice dog park, and even found some 4 leaf clovers!

Campground was nice and maintained. Showers in campground 2 were dirty.

Stayed here while we went to Strawberry Festival in Stilwell. Very convenient to highway 412 and Siloam Springs. Hosts very friendly and helpful. New park, nothing fancy but a work in progress reasonably priced. Met our needs. Great location next to Illinois River if you want to kayak. Lots of open area to tent camp. Very secluded. Loved watching fireflies over the hayfield.

We’re regulars for a reason. Safe ,clean , quiet, great location. Owner ad his staff 2nd to none
ScoutThis was a really nice campground with easy walks to some beautiful scenery! Flat pads with nice tables/grills/fire pits. Sites 3/4/11-14 have a lot more room so we’d probably pick one of those next time. There is a racetrack near by that was so loud we couldn’t hear each other talking from 6-11pm on Friday night which made it difficult to put our baby to bed. We’d love to go back but will definitely pick a weekend without a race next time.

Our friends from CA have bragged on this camp ground for years....so here we come!
GuideI go here with my friends every summer we hike almost all the trails , it’s gorgeous last time I went there (summer of 23) we saw a wild river otter swimming there is so much wildlife out there and it’s just gorgeous absolutely stunning and worth visiting, family friends and dog / pet friendly if you want to take your dogs on a hike this is the place , has stairs and is not very handicapped accessible if you want to go to the bottom of the falls but it is completely accessible for a wheelchair if you just want to view the falls from the top and there are multiple handicapped accessible paved paths !

I don’t usually post reviews, but… I fell in love with this campground. I visited in late November, so I was the only tent camper on the grounds. The camp host was very accommodating to me, and made sure everything was good. 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! I chose a site in the Meadows section, and it had a stunning view of the water, and was a great bird-watching spot as well.
There was a shower house and a few pitt toilets, and all were very clean and sanitary. They were also all placed in a good location, so wherever you were at in the campground, you didn’t have to walk far. Each basic tent site came with a tent pad, a picnic table, and a fire pit. Some also had metal hooks, but the campsites in the meadows do not.
All in all, it was a b eautiful, quiet spot with a stunning view. Great for bird-watching and hiking. I’m definitely coming back here again!
TravelerThe campground is very convenient, off the Passion Play Road in Eureka Springs. We got a deluxe camping spot with its own deck, picnic table and smokeless fire pit. We were careful to get there by check-in time, as you are required to pull to the side of the entrance & hook up there until morning if you arrive late. Seeing some of these campsites, we can understand that policy, as many of them, including ours, has a steep drop off at the back of the parking area and it is really dark after sunset! The hosts were very nice, they have a great laundry/shower house. Hookups worked well, had good WiFi so we could watch our streaming tv at night. Will definitely come back to this park!
ScoutThis is my ideal spot for established tent camping. It has a little bit of everything you could ever want plus close enough to town in case something comes up. ✨️
GuideFavorite campground on our road-trip so far. Shaded spots, clean bathhouses. Can rent boats. Nearby attractions.

Worst experience in this park while waiting on our land to be ready.the owners ad claim's that the RV park is in Rogers Arkansas and is a lie. the park is located in parie creek far back in the woods very far from civilization. It was also very hard to sleep at night due to the fact that the middle of the park is the only clean side while the right side and the left side was full of meth heads yelling,fighting also cops chasing them doing almost 80mph inside the park.alot of kids running loose with no parents, grabbing things from ppls lots.animals doing there needs in my yard,me having to clean up after others,restrooms where gross I can say jail restrooms looked better.also watch ur vehicle because the owners maintenance man on drugs left$2000 damage's in my custom paint truck with a$20 lawnmower mowing rocks next to my vehicle while there was no grass at all.after I noticed it the maintenance man stopped mowing, went on hide mode..I notified the owner, she laughed,told me to contact my insurance while they did not cover custom paint so i had to pay that out of my pocket.i stayed there almost 8 months the winter was the worse you can not get up those snowy hills, curves not even on a 4wd I had to stay at a hotel to not risk my family.also it was very scary being in any kind of an emergency due to the fact that the emergency hospitals were so far enough to not make it in time..would never go back to staying there again.if your looking for a reliable RV park near Rogers there's actually a few of them close to town near hospitals,gas stations, groceries honestly that place is a joke definitely not the place to take your family..and if you guys think I'm wrong about this go and find out yourselfs

I only gave this a 4 star because the site we stayed at was not taken care of and NOT level. But we needed the shade and it was quiet. We enjoyed our selves. The campground has a LOT of loops, beach areas, fishing, marina, and CLEAN showers and restrooms. Very close to Rogers for entertainment and food but remote enough to be quiet and relaxing. Would come back here but we would opt for another site.
ScoutThe nature at this park is beautiful, however it is managed by the U.S. Army Corp Engineers who are very stingy. They give out citations like they’re candy. Any rule broken even if on unknowingly, accidentally or with justification they are quick to give you a citation which goes on your federal record. We accidentally parked in the wrong campsite and immediately corrected it once we were informed it was the wrong site, however were still given a citation. After having a poor experience with a ranger and his supervisor I will be avoiding land managed by the U.S. Amy Corps. On top of the extremity, the facilities and sites were poorly maintained and the crowd at this campground made us feel unsafe. I do not recommend this campground.

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. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.

I hate this place and will never go back. I did primitive tent camping for 2 nights with my 5 kids and a 5 mile float in a raft. It was over $500. The raft, by design, took on several inches of water so we couldn’t keep anything dry. Then, they didn’t have a pick up bus. We had to walk down the highway back to the office after floating for 6 hours and then waiting for an hour and even calling twice. The kids behind the counter don’t have a clue what is going on and are completely unapologetic when they mess everything up (our reservations, the float instructions, the pick up bus…). They made zero effort to make anything right and the counter girl even laughed at me for being upset. When I got mad and asked to speak to someone who knows how a business is supposed to operate she called security to throw my son and I out. We left early, ate the money and paid a different campsite down the street where the staff are friendly and helpful.
ScoutArrived exactly at check in time, Groundsman met me as soon as we entered. I have a 32' class C and towing a car. I was asked to dismount the car at the entrance. And take my car Dolly to a separate area. He then escorted me to our campsite and help back me in campsite . Almost all of the camp is gravel with very few trees but has an area for dogs. has shower rooms, swimming pool, pavillion and a meeting room and a laundry room that was very inexpensive which is definitely a plus. We enjoyed our stay. And campsite not too far from restaurant and stores. Even has a trolley stop at the location which you can ride to downtown and other points of interest.
Scout
We stayed here for a quick weekend getaway trip and it was fantastic. All the sites are gravel so when we had a few rain showers it did not cause a muddy mess for our campfire evenings. The owner was super nice and very communicative ensuring we had everything we needed. He delivered firewood we purchased to our tent while we were at the park and, he even stayed up past midnight to see us in as we drove up from Oklahoma. New camp store, nice clean bathrooms, new showers, and a quiet stay with amazing star gazing. Lastly the campground is 5 minutes to the river to fish. Would highly recommend.
ScoutAmazing summer night stay. Sunset, frogs chirping, a field of fireflies and relaxing by a campfire. This brand new campground is amazing.
