Within the Norfork Lake area, Udall Park operates as a US Army Corps of Engineers campground that accommodates RVs up to 72 feet with water hookups available. The facility sits on forested and open terrain near creek and lake access, though campers should expect rough access roads leading to the sites.
At $14-$16 per night, the campground provides drinking water, allows campfires and pets, and accepts reservations. The location serves as a base for exploring campgrounds around Norfork Lake throughout the region. RV campers needing full hookups and those comfortable with challenging road conditions will find this Corps-managed facility suitable for lake-focused trips.
Description
Overview
Udall Park is for those looking for a more primitive campground conveniently located on the north end of Norfork Lake in Missouri.
Recreation
Sailing the open waters makes for an exciting water activity. Scuba diving in the lake is common, attracting divers from neighboring U.S. states. For visitors interested in fishing, Norfork Lake is stocked annually, and it's not unheard of to catch striped bass over 40 pounds.
Facilities
The 9 campsites within the park provide a more primitive camping experience. Water hookups are included at several sites. Most sites have a view of the lake.
Natural Features
Norfork Lake stems from the North Fork River in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. It's about 25 miles east of Bull Shoals lake, and cuts through the Ozark Mountains. The Ozarks are made from a heavily eroded plateau, shaped and carved by hundreds of streams over thousands of years. The region attracts a wide array of plants and animals.
Nearby Attractions
Head south to see the Ozark National Forest and head west to see Bull Shoals Lake, a similar man-made lake that's larger in size and equally entertaining as Norfork.
