Campers arrive at Lost Bridge North via a newly paved road that winds down to Beaver Lake, where 68 sites spread across upper and lower loops offer different camping experiences. The upper loop provides more privacy with fewer neighbors, while the lower loop puts campers closer to the water and marina activities.
Sites feature concrete picnic tables and fire rings, with 30-amp electric hookups available throughout. Water access requires a walk to spigots near vault toilets, as individual sites lack water hookups. Stephanie M. notes "You can camp right on the water and the views are beautiful," particularly from waterfront sites like 9 and 10. The rocky terrain includes leveled tent pads for ground camping.
A 5-mile trail winds through the campground area, though portions can be difficult to follow. The designated swim beach requires water shoes due to rocky conditions rather than sand. Kayak launches are possible directly from some waterfront campsites, and the on-site marina provides boat access. Showers operate in the lower loop area, while vault toilets serve the upper sections.
The campground operates seasonally from April through September, with reservations available through the Army Corps of Engineers system. Access warnings mention rough conditions on connecting roads, particularly after weather events. Lost Bridge South sits just over a mile away for additional options, while Indian Creek Campground provides an alternative less than a mile northeast.
Lost Bridge North works well for RV campers seeking lake access and those comfortable with seasonal operations and basic amenities rather than full-service facilities.
Description
Overview
Lost Bridge North Campground sits along the vast shores of Beaver Lake in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, offering spacious and sunny campsites and an abundance of recreational activities.
Recreation
Fishing opportunities are plentiful near Lost Bridge North 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 cold 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 game plentiful in northwest Arkansas. A mixture of hardwood and evergreen forest provides a good home to many different species of wildlife. While Beaver Lake is conveniently located near several population centers, within a short driving distance hunters can find remote areas filled with upland game animals such as deer, rabbits and squirrels. Many other sports and activities await campers, including boating, swimming, picnicking, scuba diving, water skiing, spelunking and sightseeing.
Facilities
Lost Bridge North Campground has large campsites with plenty of shade and room for activities, and is steps away from the lake shore. Fire rings, picnic areas, drinking water and flush toilets all make for a comfortable camping getaway.
Natural Features
Towering limestone bluffs, natural caves and a variety of trees and flowering shrubs surround Lost Bridge North 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.
