About Buck Creek (MO)

Relax in the shaded campsites at Buck Creek, on the Arkansas side of the massive Bull Shoals Lake. Here, there's plenty of opportunities for water sports, hiking and picnicking. The Peel Ferry, the last remaining state-operated ferry in Arkansas, leaves from Buck Creek. It connects Highway 125 from Arkansas to Missouri for convenient access to the lowers stretches of the lake.

Love everything about this campground except one thing…the air conditioning in the restrooms was not working the entire time we were there and it was absolutely miserable it was so hot in there you’d be drenched in sweat after a cold shower. If the air was fixed in the restroom I would have given a 5 star rating.

A nice park with nice facilities. The booth is never open to check in/out, however. People come in and out of the park at all hours. Our campsite, B14, needs grass seed or sod. When it rains, it becomes a giant mudhole. The facilities are clean and excellent. The dump station is shaded,with working water, so that is a plus. We camp here frequently.
