Fishing enthusiasts and lake campers will find War Eagle Campground positioned along Beaver Lake in the Arkansas Ozarks, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. This 26-site campground operates on a hillside terrain that creates both opportunities and challenges for RV placement. Sites 1-5 sit at the top of the hill on level ground, while remaining sites descend the slope with varying degrees of difficulty for backing in trailers.
The campground's forested setting provides ample shade for most sites, though reviewers note that maneuvering larger RVs requires careful planning. Some sites feature rock formations and extra tent pads, while electrical hookups may require extension cords depending on your setup. The shower house receives consistent praise for cleanliness, with recent updates maintaining the facilities in good condition. A marina provides boat access to Beaver Lake, though no designated swimming beach exists.
Chad K. notes the location serves well "as a base camp for Hobbs State Park," with convenient access to Rogers, Bentonville, and Eureka Springs. The campground charges $22-$75 per night and accommodates RVs up to 30 feet, though sites 20-23 present particular backing challenges for trailers.
Campers exploring the region can find places to camp around Springdale for additional options. Bring tick spray during warmer months and consider extra hoses for water tank filling, as individual sites lack water hookups.
