Prairie Creek 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.
Fishing opportunities are plentiful near Prairie Creek 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.
Towering limestone bluffs, natural caves and a variety of trees and flowering shrubs surround Prairie Creek 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.
Several marinas are located around the lake, offering groceries, fuel, boat rentals and storage, fishing guides and camping supplies. Click here for more information.

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

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.

Worth the twenty minute drive from Grove. The remote location is great when you want to get away and feel like you are actually camping. The park is in the woods so almost all the spaces are shaded by beautiful old growth trees. We prefer this to the glorified parking lots that so many newer rv parks have become. The kids enjoy the outdoor pool and the lake views from the north side of the property are second to none at Grand Lake. Finally, the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful when we've stayed here and rates are great, especially for members.

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.

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.
Traveler
I've camped here several times with friends and love how nice everyone is.

This isn’t my typical style of campground because this is more of a parking lot style camping. However, they have a really cool hang out area, a clear creek to play in, and a waterfall area to explore. I’d you are passing through, this is a great place to stop and rest for the night!
GuideThe most important thing I can tell you is the bathrooms smell like sewage and are dirty. I came to stay because I read how amazing it was. It is not. It’s kind of like staying in a giant parking lot. One side has trees the other a road. It was easy to get to the greenway and ride. However there is so much construction that it is better to create your own ride. So if you don’t mind a gross bathroom or you have an RV with one then it’s worth it. The people were very nice and helpful.
GuideWe had a family reunion here and rented out some cabins. It was a great time. Fishing is great. Listening to the river while falling asleep is also hard to beat.
Travelerthis is where someone like me feels like im staying at a 5 star hotel. there was a burn ban in place at the time but they let me use my Biolite stove
GuideIt was hard to find the correct area (but I did arrive at dusk so that made it harder.) My site, only one of a few remaining when I booked weeks ago, is down a steep drive that ends on a cambered slope. The paved area of the driveway has a substantial 4-5" dropoff on one side so be careful of your tires. You'd certainly be worse off with a bigger camper than my van, but it really is unacceptable. There aren't good places for a tent (but I don't need one.) Verizon seems fine. No wifi. Most campsites are only feet from the camp road and very close together. The area is well shaded. There is 30A electric, but there is no way I'd plug into it. It looks to have been installed decades ago and not touched since then. (Some of the electric boxes look updated.) Ditto on the bathhouses...not clean, not modern. Yikes!
ScoutCant say enough great things about this place and the people that host the campgrounds. They are so accommodating, and they work hard to keep it clean, very much like a resort. A lot of trees, huge swimming pool, family events and amazing people. We can’t wait to go back. Store has a lot of great items, about anything you would need if you forgot something and it’s beauty is unmatched. It’s our favorite
TravelerWe had a great extended weekend (Wed-Sun) at Prairie Creek. Our little loop was nice and secluded while being close to the shower house and park. Traffic was minimal in the camping areas but the entrance point to the park could get busy with a lot of boat traffic. Luckily, there is a separate road to the marina and it was only congested at the entrance.
We used the 30A and water hookups and both worked seamlessly. Water tasted fine, not bad, not great. We only used it for washing dishes and brushing teeth. Showered at the shower house which had room temperature water.
Our site (27) was relatively level. Took 1 leveling block on the passenger side and we were set. We have a relatively long pop-up and still had ample room at the back of our site for bikes and space or the truck up front. There was a noticeable dip from the road to the site but it was manageable. Some other sites were much worse. The paved areas for our site were level-ish but anything away from the picnic table area and parking had a significant slope.
Docked 1 star due to the conditions I saw other spaces in and the dated shower house could use a refresh (or just some fans to move air during the hot days)
Photo below was taken while sitting at the picnic table.

This is an amazing campground! The sites are big and very level. All have electric, water and sewer. It is quiet and there are still sites available, even tho it is Memorial Day weekend. It has a good little restaurant, with outdoor seating as well as indoor. A nice playground for the kids, but let me tell you about the bathroom’s!! They are beautiful!! Individual rooms with toilet, sink and showers. All tile with glass shower doors. With state of the art washers and dryers. And the people that run it are super nice! I will DEFINITELY be back!!
TravelerBeautiful campground but on hills and not many if any are up level. Some sites have water and some don’t. You can’t call and ask because no body answers. Lots of beautiful shelters and fishing opportunities.
GuideThis resort caters to the 20-something party crowd. If you’re in that demo, you’ll love it, if you’re not, you won’t. Camp store is nice, but campsites can be lacking.
Scout
Clan quiet park friendly host
GuideIts parking lot-type RV sites, but in a fairly narrow valley between historically & naturally interesting wooded trails. The birdsong this spring at dawn & dusk coming from both sides was tremendous. Showers (3) & WC (3) & laundry (3 washers & dryers) with a sort of library addition.
ScoutThey are closed and out of business.
GuideWe stayed in tent site 107 because it looked the most secluded on the park map. It definitely is the most secluded but the drop-off from the asphalt to the site ranges from 6-12+". Only parking for this site is on the loop. Thankfully it is the only site on the loop so no one needs to drive down there. We enjoyed the privacy and the view of the marina. The swimming area is rocky so take some wet shoes. Will definitely be staying in one of the smaller, level tent sites every time we go back to Bentonville/Rogers.
Guide
This is a nice campground and most of the sites are huge. And some of them have a nice view of the river. They have full hookups and pretty good signal. The bathrooms are not the best but they have really nice playground for the kids. I would come back and camp here again.

it was dark and this woman kept staring at me. wont be going there alone again
