Campgrounds on COE lake properties in NW Arkansas and NE Oklahoma usually have lakefront sites, but not necessarily the lone RV on the wilderness shore pictured in RV advertisements.
Here's one (if the link works).This park is typical of COE lake properties. It operated for years as a COE Public Access Facility, later as a state park, then as a tribal park, but closing finally end of 2014 because reasonable fees cover no more than a third of the operating costs.
In this campground, about half the sites are lakefront. In others in the area, campgrounds extend well away from the shore, so maybe fewer than 10% of the sites on right on the water. There are sometimes also additional campgrounds not so close to the water, to keep some facilities available when reservoirs are brought up to flood storage levels.
