To improve the camping experience for our guests at all Beaver Lake campgrounds, the Check-Out time for campsite reservations will be adjusted from 3:00pm to 1:00pm on the day that reservation ends. This change will apply to all reservations beginning on or after April 1st, 2026, regardless of when the reservation was originally booked. Check-In time will remain 4:00pm on the day incoming reservations start. The additional time before incoming reservation holders may check in will allow Park Attendants, Cleaners, and Park Ranger staff to ensure that outgoing guests have not only vacated their sites, but that the facilities are fully operational, clean, and prepared to welcome incoming guests. As always, should you wish to make, modify, or cancel a reservation, you may do so from your [Recreation.gov][1] account or by calling 1-877-444-6777. We look forward to seeing you at Beaver Lake this recreation season! [1]: http://Recreation.gov
About
Prairie Creek Campground is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility located along the vast shores of Beaver Lake in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. The campground offers 112 spacious campsites with 30-amp electric hookups, surrounded by towering limestone bluffs, natural caves, and diverse hardwood and evergreen forests. The campground provides excellent access to Beaver Lake's 28,000 surface acres and 449 miles of shoreline. A five-lane boat ramp makes launching easy for anglers pursuing large and smallmouth bass, crappie, bream, white bass, stripers, and catfish. The lakefront location also offers opportunities for swimming, water skiing, scuba diving, and other water sports. A sand volleyball court and playground make it ideal for families. Beyond the lake, visitors can explore hiking and biking trails throughout the Ozarks, hunt for deer and upland game in nearby forests, or visit the upper White River below the dam for trophy rainbow and German brown trout fishing. Several marinas around the lake provide fuel, supplies, boat rentals, and fishing guides. The campground operates year-round with reduced amenities during the winter season.
