All the sites at Buck Creek have concrete slaps to park your RV and many have a permanent cabana type cover over the picnic table. The camp host was friendly and helpful. The only downfall is the lake level. Bull Shoals has suffered from high lake levels due to Table Rock Lake maintaining water levels. The campground has 38 sites and only 18 were available due to flooding. There is no beach and even the kids playground is underwater. That didn't seem to effect the kids we saw swimming out to the flooded playground to play anyway. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and will go back. Unfortunately the lake level issue doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon.

All the campsites had orange cones on them like they were reserved the whole week we were there and not even 50% of them had people use them. The restrooms were only cleaned twice while we were there and then just barely Swept and mopped with just water !! Never once saw the camp host drive by . Locals used the flooded roads to launch their boats and clean their fish throwing the remains in the lake by the camp sites.
