In the agency’s own words
Tucker Hollow, a small 28-campsite park, sits near the upper part of Bull Shoals Lake. There's something for everyone at the region's most popular lake, whether it's a day basking in the sun, jet skiing, fishing or canoeing. Keep reading
Recreation
Bull Shoals Lake beckons water sports lovers, birders, naturalists and those who simply want an escape from the city. Hiking and in-season hunting are popular land activities here.
Facilities
The campsites have electric hookups, and all sites offer 50 amp service. Two picnic shelters are available, but these do not have electricity. Families will enjoy the swimming beach and the playground.
Natural Features
Bull Shoals Lake is located on the northern edge of central Arkansas. Built in 1951 for flood control, the lake spans 71,000 acres and extends for 80 miles. It's fed by the White River, which flows through the Arkansas Ozarks.
Nearby Attractions
The Bull Shoals-White River State Park has two highly recommended hiking trails to explore. The Big Bluff Trail offers views of the White River below Bull Shoals Dam, and the Lakeside Trail meanders along the shores of the lake.

Every site here is reservable, and the record lists none held back for anyone who drives up.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rates for this season, $24–$26 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
“Cancellations up to 2 days before a reservation start date incur a $10.00 cancellation fee.” · this campground’s own terms
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 28 of the 29 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.

The agency files 1 more record here that isn’t a site for the night. It files it as day use. It’s in the table above, marked for what it is, and it isn’t counted as a site.
OpenStreetMap has no toilet mapped within 1 km of this campground, so no site here carries a toilet distance. That’s a gap in the map, not a finding about the campground.
