Bull Shoals Lake access draws anglers and swimmers to Pontiac, a US Army Corps of Engineers campground operating from early April through late October. The facility accommodates RVs up to 35 feet with full hookups, electric-only sites, and primitive options, though shared water spigots may require walking up to 50 feet from some campsites.

Level parking areas sit among large trees, and campers can walk directly from shore into deep lake water using rock formations as entry points rather than sandy beaches. The campground includes restrooms, showers, a dump station, and allows campfires and pets. For additional options, see places to camp near Theodosia. A marina and restaurant operate on-site, with ice available for purchase.

Nice small campground

Private campground, some full hook ups, some electric only, andsome primitive. Water is shared and can be 50 feet from your campsite. Nice big trees, mostly level parking, which is saying something considering it's the ozarks! 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.
