About Oakland
To some, Oakland might be just a tiny dot on the map, but those of us who live here know that what we lack in size, we make up for in spirit. It’s the kind of place where neighbors look out for each other, and no one remains a stranger for very long.
We’re located on the shores of Bull Shoals Lake, in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, approximately two hours from Springfield, Missouri, and just over four hours from Little Rock or St. Louis.
To visit the town of Oakland, drive 6 miles west from AR Highway 5 on Oakland Road (AR Highway 202). There you will find our Community Center. Inside the Center is our Post Office, Library, and Water Department. The Community Center is in the heart of our area and hosts our many organizations, clubs, and events. Four miles further is Oakland Campground , boat launching ramp and swimming area.
Many residents of Oakland came for a lake vacation decades ago, fell in love, and made Oakland their permanent home.
We look forward to seeing you at our events or on the lake!
