I love it. It is clean, quiet, beautiful, private, affordable and full of peace. It would be nice to see it grow and have more to offer as a resort someday soon.

Coon Creek Resort is down a scenery dirt road 2.2 miles from the highway, and 30 feet uphill from bull shoals lake. Its peaceful and beautiful. Great place to come visit if your looking for a place to get away and get back to nature. Only ATT cell carrier works here. and the staff who is all family doesnt bug you. We only ask if everything is ok and if you need anything. Our family owns a liquor store in lead hill arkansas which is 13 miles maybe less from peel. We Sell fishing licenses, and during hunting season we sell hunting licenses but ask you not to hunt on private property aka the property the resort sits on. We also provide free wifi access. open to public use. Come visit us and enjoy nature with us.
