Elevation705 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryBull Shoals Lake stretches 80 miles through the Ozarks, where the White River has cut through ancient limestone bedrock to create clear water, dramatic bluffs, and hidden coves. The campground sits at 705 feet elevation along the shore, surrounded by forested hills that support deer, wild turkey, and dense hardwood stands. The limestone geology beneath the lake contributes to its clarity and forms the caves and rock formations visible along the shoreline. Lakefront sites deliver open water views, though some areas have become overgrown with weeds and brush.
