We stayed in site #23 and it was absolutely beautiful. Although it was difficult to get into and needed a lot of leveling, it was worth it. There were lots of flies but we use a thermacel (bought on Amazon) and it helped eliminate the fly problem. It was very quiet and peaceful. I probably would only stay on this site as many of the others were short and some of the picnic tables were on the wrong side. I was expecting the bathroom to be awful but they were clean and not bad. The Host was pleasant and directed us on the best way to get to our spot. It is very hilly but that wasn’t a problem in the site we stayed in. We would come again.

This place is awesome and beautiful! Totally chill place to go to the lake and hang out. Wonderful place to camp and explore. Very clean and nice amenities as well.

We really enjoyed our week long stay at Starkey Campground on Beaver Lake Arkansas. It's off the beaten path but it also means it's quiet and not as crowded. This area is definitely for smaller trailers as the sites aren't designed for large trailers/motorhomes. Majority of the sites are on a steep hill leading down to the lake, therefore be prepared for many sites to be uneven and bring a lot of leveling equipment with you. There are about 7(?) full hookups at the top of the hill with the remaining sites having just electricity and several water spigots throughout the campground. Septic dump and garbage is at the entrance to the campground. Campground has a shower house with two rooms. Water pressure and temp were good but it could use some updating. Bathrooms were just okay. They need to be pumped, deep cleaned and there was so many spiders and other bugs in and around the seats you had to bring towels to wipe them away. We stayed at site 23 and I would say that's probably one of the best sites (that's not full hookup). It's the closest one to the lake. Has a covering over the large picnic table. A water spigot is right across from the site and bathroom access close. The area of the site is large (not the spot for trailer). There is a side access road leading to it so you don't have to drive through the entire campground every time. Sites 16, 21, 22 also seemed to be really nice sites. The shoreline is very rocky so bring water shoes but it's so pretty and if you kayak/boat, an island not far is not far from the shore but be careful because it is a high traffic area especially during the weekends. There is a marina on site but we never did go check it out but several campers were using it for their sailboats and motorboats. Overall a beautiful area with a lot of different wildlife, a couple coves for swimming, nice camp hosts, area is clean and secluded. Close to Eureka Springs and many other fun activities and places.

Great opportunity to relax in the shade with access to beautiful water. Be careful not to assume that your site has water and sewer hookups. Ours did not unfortunately. Rookie mistake - I know see the filters include these choices.
