Campground details
Setting
Buck Creek Campground sits under a forest canopy of hardwoods and cedars along the Arkansas shore of the 71,000-acre Bull Shoals Lake. The site features 38 campsites, all but two equipped with electric hookups. On-site amenities include a boat launch ramp, a swimming area, a playground, and restrooms. The park serves as the departure point for the historic Peel Ferry, the last state-operated ferry in Arkansas, which transports vehicles across the lake to connect Highway 125 into Missouri. Nearby Bull Shoals-White River State Park offers bluff and lakefront hiking trails.
