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.

Went to office during office hours twice and no one was in office. Tried to call during office hours and no one answered. Very disappointed in camp host. Also the walkway at dock needed moved several times. It was hard to back a trailer in without getting off the pavement. Also the lawn service ran over my satellite cord. Offered to pay for it, thought we could spice it but no luck. Also bathroom doors didn't close properly, only 2 of the 4 was readily useable.
