Indian Creek Campground sits along the vast shores of Beaver Lake in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, offering spacious and sunny campsites with an abundance of recreational activities.
Fishing opportunities are plentiful near Indian Creek Campground. Beaver Lake has more than 28,000 surface acres of water, and anglers can try their luck at catching large and small-mouth bass, crappie, bream, white bass, stripers, and channel or spoon-bill catfish. Just below the dam, the chilly waters of the upper White River provide a perfect habitat for pole-bending rainbow and record-size German brown trout.
Several trails snake throughout the Ozark Mountains, offering peaceful hiking, biking and wildlife viewing opportunities for visitors.
Hunters will find plentiful game in the hardwood and evergreen forests of northwest Arkansas. While Beaver Lake is conveniently located near several population centers, within a short driving distance, hunters can find remote areas filled with upland game such as deer, rabbits and squirrels.
Many other sports and activities await campers, including boating, swimming, picnicking, scuba diving, water skiing, spelunking and sightseeing.
Indian Creek Campground has large campsites with plenty of shade and room for activities, just steps from the lake shore.
Fire rings, picnic areas, drinking water and flush toilets all make for a comfortable outdoors getaway.
Towering limestone bluffs, natural caves and a variety of trees and flowering shrubs surround Indian Creek Campground, making it an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts.
Beaver Lake and Dam, completed in 1966, was constructed in the White River Basin and boasts 449 miles of beautiful shoreline at the top of the conservation pool.
Although the dam was originally built for flood control, hydroelectric power and public water supply, it has also created a popular recreational oasis.
Several marinas are located around the lake, offering groceries, fuel, boat rentals and storage, fishing guides and camping supplies.
From Eureka Springs, Arkansas, take Highway 62 West and travel 15.3 miles. Turn left on Indian Creek Road and follow to the park.
It's part of Beaver Dam. Don't forget to pay when you enter the park. It allows you to park in the park with whatever vehicle you have (RV, truck, or boating). We only pay for the day stay because we mainly spent the day at the swimming grounds. There's lots to do.
Driving towards the camp ground has beautiful scenery. Once you get to the front gate you can see the lake. Staff was super nice and helpful. Sites are smaller in size but perfect for your pop-up or RV. They do have sites directly on water front which were beautiful. Also available are back in sites or pull through for your pop up out RV. Sites have 30 amp hook ups. Water is available however NOT to each individual site itself. Bathrooms are the cleanest I've seen in a very long while at any other camp site I've been to. Lake has clear water with nice swimming area. Also, playground and volleyball court also at Park. We were very impressed with everything about this area and will definitely be back. Only a thirty minute drive to Eureka Springs from area and easy to make multiple trips back and forth if needing a rest.
Boat ramps also available at park however we did not use them.
Loved it so much! Super beautiful here on lot 12 this morning!! Very close to the water front and boat dock! Has somewhat level grassy areas here for our tent and pavement with plenty of parking for the trailer popup, the truck and the minivan too! This site doesnt have a built deck around or a picnic table cover but we were still very happy. Less dust than the lost trail south lot we were just at. I would give 5 stars for more frequent water spigots since not all lots have water hook ups but other very lovely. We have a few trees to hang a line too! We thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is an RV park, but does allow tents and camping. The bathroom and showers are well maintained as well as the grounds. I will say that only a few sites have spaces for big tents. They're more designed for RV's.
Loved it! We were in site #7. Our camper is 23 ft long and fit just fine. BUT... if u get this site, drive in from the"wrong way". In our opinion, #9 is the best, then #8, then#7. That little section is secluded and in the trees- it's lovely! The lake was gorgeous with lots of places to walk down & swim/ float even if you didn't have a boat. There was a playground fit kids and the bath houses were immaculate. We got water on our way in, across from site 17. There's water near #7 but you'll need about 50-60 ft hose to access it.
Eureka Springs is nearby and is a quaint little town with lots of shops. And don't miss the ThornCrown Chapel!
