Enjoy the beautiful scenery overlooking Bull Shoals Lake, known in the area as a water sports paradise.
The park is a departure point for the Peel Ferry, which connects Highway 125 from Arkansas to Missouri. Peel Ferry is Arkansas' last remaining free ferry. It runs year-round and saves drivers a 50-mile journey around the lake.
The surplus of water activities keep visitors entertained for many days of vacation. Hiking and birding are also rewarding pastimes here.
The 39 campsites are equipped with electric hookups, drinking water and showers. The site has a designated swimming area and marina.
Groups of up to 50 can reserve the group picnic shelter, which is beside the playground.
Blue Shoals Lake spans more than 71,000 acres across the northern edge of Arkansas and the southern edge of Missouri. The lake was created in 1951 with the completion of the massive concrete dam, Blue Shoals Dam.
The lake is surrounded by dense forest along the rolling foothills of the Arkansas Ozarks.
Visit the Bull Shoals-White River State Park and explore its two hiking trails: the Big Bluff Trail and the Lakeside Trail. Consider a ferry ride to explore scenic drives on the Missouri side of the lake.
Cancellations up to 2 days before a reservation start date incur a $10.00 cancellation fee.
From Yellville, AR. take SR 14 for 14 miles northwest to SR 125, go north on SR 125 for 13 miles. Follow signs into campground.
First time campers. Loved the 365 view of the lake. Clean and quiet. Going to revisit in near future.
One of the best parks to visit. Lots of shade and the owners of the boat dock are awesome people. If you ever get a chance to visit northern Arkansas. You have to give this place a visit.
Lots were well spaced apart, park was very clean, bath houses were clean and single use rooms (loved). The entire park has a beach like setting to it, which is nice to walk around in the evening or fish off of during the day. The marina has a nice selection of snacks, wifi, as well as a fish cleaning station. There is a restaurant on site that we did not try and the ferry was near by. The camp sites were very level, concrete pads for campers, some have gazebo awnings, along with nice firepits that you can grill on. Love this park and plan to go back soon.
Just passed through on my BMW K75, to take the ferry. It was a spectacular Sunday morning drive, with fog in the valleys, and sunshine on top. The ferry is worth the detour, and fully in service.
