Part of the Bull Shoals Recreation Area, Point Return City Park accommodates tents and pop-up campers with a 25-foot RV length limit on forested sites near Bull Shoals Lake. The single-road access can flood during high water periods, temporarily cutting off the beach area within walking distance. Campers report having entire sections to themselves on weekend nights, with spacious sites featuring picnic tables, fire pits, and trash hooks under tree cover.
The park provides vault toilets, drinking water, and a dump station, though facilities show their age as a city-managed property. Sites directly on the lake banks offer water views, and the area maintains cell service for those needing connectivity.
