BEAVER CREEK (MO)

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.

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.

Nearby: 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.
