We always have a great time visiting Buck Creek, but would like to see several upgrades to the electric and some of the camp sites. The campers now need 50 amp service and most of those spots are always under water.

It's a very nice and well maintained campground. Large mature trees and great lake access. Most sites have a view of the lake. Lake levels are up so some of the sites are unavailable. Hosts are very helpful and accessible. Good security and very clean. Right around the corner is a car ferry that will take you over to the other side into Arkansas. It's free and very interesting. The only drawback is there isn't many food options as it is fairly remote. The good news is Branson is only a short drive away. Also, we love to eat at Cookies in Theodosia. It's just a short scenic drive. If you love to fish and value peace and quiet, this is the place for you. We have stayed here 3 times and we love it.

We have camped at Buck Creek for years and always have a good time. When the water is not high, the roads are great for walking/jogging and the playground is great for the kids.
