COE on Table Rock Lake at Baxter MO
Beautiful site, right on the lake Definitely will be back
Great view of lake, lots to do
We stopped in at Baxter Campground for a few days on our way to Rogers. We were at site 18, right on the water. We camp in a tent, so the tent pad was really appreciated, just a little too close to the fire ring. There were plenty of trees with shade, we had plenty of room for a hammock to enjoy the breeze and lake view.
My only complaint is the shower /washrooms were HOT! There were fans there, but wow you take a shower and then sweat as you are getting dressed. Lol
Would stay again
Nice Campground
It was a nice 10 day stay, but just wish they could have mowed.
4th of July
We sent a week here this year (2021) it was great, their was fireworks all around us and across the lake. This is close to Branson so alot more to do and see from here, if you stay and don't want to cook, Millis Jo's is now open and is a great place. Their's so many thing's to do here at almost anytime...
Beautiful. Fun.
We had a great time. Fishing, boating, swimming, hiking. Beautiful lake side lot. Could use sand at the swimming beach
Baxter
very nice site rest rooms and shower very clean. some sites are a challenge to get set up in. staff was very nice and accommodating. quiet clean well maintained, I would camp here again.
Great view of Table Rock Lake.
My wife and I wanted to camp close K-West Camp/Kanakuk and this was across the cove. The campground has nice clean restrooms and showers. The campground host were some of the nicest people you would like to meet. The campground is close to Dogwood Canyon, a great blueberry farm and the famous Branson strip. There is a marina right by the campground and easy access to Table Rock Lake. This is a great place to spend some time and slow down and enjoy all of the surrounding attractions.
