"Long walk to the restroom from here. The RV sites have paved drives & offer views of the river. Most sites are small, feels crowded, although there were many unoccupied "Reserved" sites."
"My friends have been trying to get us here for a few years and we finally made the drive. It did not disappoint! We shared a “buddy site” because we have tiny campers."
$22 - $54 / night
"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."
"Shade for days, amazing lake and campsites are a very good size. Shower house was big and air conditioned! Trees almost give it a forest feel and deer were everywhere!"
"Bull Shoals lake is lovely. Marina and restaurant at the campground. Ice available. Nice bathrooms. Walk to swim from the shore. No beach but rocks to jump from into incredibly deep water."
"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. "
"It's a bit off the beaten path, but worth it for a day hike or a bit of backpacking.
Since it's wilderness area, you can camp just about anywhere with few restrictions."
"Began hiking these trails over forty years ago. I have hiked all four Sean’s and even spent a December wedding anniversary there with my husband."
$24 - $50 / night
"Awesome campgrounds on Bull Shoals lake.
There are 32 sites only 1 is primitive all others offer 20/30 amps a few have an added 50 amp pluggin."
"We got here on a pretty hilly/twisty road late at night, found a spot close to the trailhead and had a quiet, peaceful night sleep. We saw just one other camper with a trailer close to the inlet."
$12 - $42 / night
"The campsite was large with an asphalt path and a nice spot for my tent. First weekend in May and the park was pretty much full. My campsite close to the facilities."
"Nice campground with a paved walking/cycling trail from boat docks to the dam. Nice showers, fairly level campsites. Fishing within walking distance."
"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."
RangerWe stayed 2 weeks with other family in a camper in site 129 but had to move 2 times in order to stay at the campground. It’s popular so make your reservations early! You can do everything online, which is convenient. Each site was easy to back into and level at. There was a firepit, picnic table and a pole to hang a lantern on at each site. They give you a bag to put your recyclables in. 115 did not have water, but there was water access close enough to fill our tank. It also had immediate access to the walking path around the lake. We were on that path with the whole family almost everyday. There are access points to get down to the water along the trail. We also put in our kayak within walking distance to 115. We walked to see the Branson Belle and also to the marina where you can buy $1 bags of fish food for the carp and turtles. The laundry was clean and easy for a couple loads during our stay. The camp hosts were sweet and helped check us in at each site and even tracked us down when we accidentally left a lantern between moves. We’ve already made our next reservation to stay again. Complimentary WiFi was great at 130, 131 but not at 115. We had a good Verizon signal during our stay. Easy couple minute walk from 115 back to our family at 129 but would recommend booking together if staying with a group. Dumping area was clean and easy to access on our way out.
GuideThe hubs and I went to North Fork campgrounds April 25-28th and we were the only campers there. People were on the river for day-use, picnic, fishing, swimming etc. but we were the only overnight guests. The sites are HUGE and spacious but not private. No undressing if you have a neighbor. There are some trails from the sites to the river but nature has mostly taken them over and it is not a safe trek. It's a short walk on the driveway to the vault toilets and day use area to get in the river or walk along the pebbled banks. Use caution while exploring the banks because what I'm assuming was a parking lot or RV sites had been recently washed away. There are large sections of concrete/asphalt slabs, picnic tables, stationary grills, and parking wheel blocks scattered and partially buried all along the bank. The water was nice and the Catahoula enjoyed herself. Nighttime was magical. It was absolutely silent besides the sounds of nature and the river. Our favorite part was the THOUSANDS of fireflies. They were like a blanket or waves of twinkles through the whole loop. We let the fire die down just so we could watch the show. Absolutely amazing.
ScoutDecent road to camp off of accessed via the Matney Knob TH.
TravelerRight on the river with both a rock and sand beach currently. Fire rings. Only one other camper that’s at the other end of the campground on memorial weekend. Vault toilets. Good Solar.
ScoutCan’t beat the view from the entire campsite
TravelerBeautiful place, a few other campers. Great for overnight stay. Vault toilet were out of order. We made do.
ScoutWent on a hike of the short Panther Bay trail today. Very disappointed to have two felled trees across the trail. My wife and I are in our 80's and it was very difficult to navigate around both trees into the dense forest on either sides. To top it all off, I'm one who does pay an annual $40 fee to the ACofE just so I don't have to suffer fallen trees. Yes, the tree looked down from last fall. This trail is for our age group and folks over 65, and of course children. NOT right now though.
ScoutSmall campground but worked great for us they have a nice swimming pool, although we didn’t use them the showers and laundry looked nice. It’s hilly (hey this is the Ozarks) but the sites themselves are pretty level most RV’s are leveled somewhat. You can walk to some attractions. One thing——sightseeing helicopters arrival path is right over the campground so that’s only significant noise.
ScoutThe campground is nice. The grounds are unkept this year. The grass is already tall and when we asked about it we were told it’s only getting taller. The grass will not be cut at all this year. Bring your weed eater or mower I guess.
