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.

Camping is very enjoyable, just wish all the tables had a cover over them so i wouldn't have to use my canopy and worry about the wind and rain destroying it. also, holes are developing in the surrounding grounds that need to be filled in for the vision impaired so they don't fall. (ME)

I took my motorhome with boat in tow to this campground for some light fishing and lake exploring. The camp hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They pointed out campground features and gave directions to my online reserved campsite with a refreshing pleasantness.
The nearby ferry provided unique scenery at night with it's lights while making it's way across the lake to it's South docking point. The grounds
were mowed, trimmed, and in good repair plus I was never bothered by any pesky mosquitos. Most of the sites were shaded and nearly all
had a good view of the lake. Plenty of parking at the boat ramp and a courtesy dock was provided. My site was equipped with water and 50,
30, and 20 amp outlets in the electrical box. Picnic table, lantern pole, fire pit with grill, and near level parking slab were at every site I saw.
The only issue I encountered was the flush/rinse water spigot at the black water dumpsite was broken so I couldn't flush out my tank but was
able to dump and be on my way. It was a good visit so I'm sure I'll be returning.
