The older sites were small and hard to get backed into properly. No issues if other campers aren’t already there.

Loved campsite 38! Right on the water and large enough for our 37ft 5th wheel, truck, suv and 30 ft boat! This campground is close to Starky Marina, Eureka springs and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.

I love this campground! I had an excellent site with some shade this time. The last time I was right along the water. I love the families of geese that go by, softly honking and grubbing for food in the grass. I swam a lot in the clear cool water of Beaver Lake. I entered at the Beach, but there are many access places where one can wade in to swim or just cool off. I took long walks every day around the beautiful grounds and also up the hill to the damn overlook. Other people were enjoying all kinds of watersports with their boats and jet skis. I appreciate the 360 degree view of lake, hills, sky, sunset and sunrise! You can see everything from here. The people were super nice. The restroom/bathhouse was very clean and had good hot water pressure for a shower.

Check in was nice and easy. Had a water front site that I was worried would get canceled but didn’t. There were many sites that were blocked off because of high water, some of them needlessly blocked off. Bath house was clean. Water was readily available and the campsite was clean.

We enjoyed our stay on site 7. There is a little path down to the water and only a few campsites on that side of the campground. We were not very close to the bathroom (vault toilets). We chose to drive out to the island with the flushable toilets and showers as needed. The internet service was okay, a bit spotty, due to all the trees. I could drive over to the little island and have 4 bars of Verizon service. I teach online, so the cell service is of great importance to me when booking a site. This site is definitely for small campers and a bit hard to get into. But, we loved our stay and the water there was really clear and nice to swim in. The view was wonderful.

We had a great time at the lake. It is beautiful, clear and cool water. We had a fantastic view and were very close to the water. There were some issues with the campground I wish we had been aware of before our arrival.
1. Be sure on the name and location of the campground before you arrive. There are a couple of different campgrounds in the "Dam Site Park". So, make sure you are going to the correct one.
2. We were at "Dam Site Lake Campground", site 6. Luckily we have a very small 17 foot trailer. There is no way you could park a larger trailer at this site. Not to mention where to park your car. I have not encountered sites this small before.
3. There is no water hook up at these sites and the bathroom for these sites is a glorified porta-potty with no shower. There is a shower on the island, but you have to drive out there.
Overall great trip.
