Overview

Escape from the hustle and bustle of city-life at Beaver Creek, a small, quiet campground tucked between a forested area and the lower shores of Bull Shoals Lake. The lake, in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, attracts visitors year-round as each season unfolds a new panorama.

Recreation

Hiking, birding, all types of water sports, and in-season hunting are featured attractions.

Spring and fall are the best seasons for fishing, but spotted bass, crappie and similar fish can be sought throughout the year.

Facilities

Beaver Creek hosts 33 campsites with electrical hookups and hot showers. A group shelter, playground and marina are also on-site.

Natural Features

The campground is in south-central Missouri along the Beaver Creek arm of Bull Shoals Lake. Sturdy, green hardwoods and cedar glades encompass the rocky bluffs and unique rock formations of the mountains.

Nearby Attractions

Visit the Jones Point State Wildlife Management Area for promising wildlife spotting and birding.

The lively tourist town of Branson is just 30 minutes away. Here, visitors can shop, dine and find live music.

The description, directions and fees are the Army Corps of Engineers’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
