Our Take
What makes WAR EAGLE CAMPGROUND special
Perched above the sparkling waters of Beaver Lake near Springdale, War Eagle Campground takes its name from the legendary War Eagle Creek that has drawn visitors to this corner of the Ozarks for generations. The campground offers sweeping lake views framed by limestone bluffs and towering oaks, making it one of the most photogenic spots on the entire reservoir. Bring your fishing rod and try your luck with spotted bass and walleye, or spend the day exploring hidden coves by canoe or kayak. The nearby War Eagle Mill, a working water-powered grist mill, is a beloved local landmark worth a morning visit. Hikers and trail runners can access miles of Ozark Highland Trail segments that traverse ridgelines and creek bottoms teeming with wildlife. Spring and fall are the prime seasons here, when mild temperatures and vivid foliage create picture-perfect conditions for camping. Summer weekends bring a lively energy to the lake, with families splashing in swimming areas and boats dotting the horizon. War Eagle Campground is especially well suited for outdoor enthusiasts who want a bit of everything, from world-class fishing and paddling to scenic hiking and cultural attractions, all within easy reach of the vibrant Fayetteville and Bentonville communities.
