Went here a few times to go for a day swimming. Nice water on a hot day. The picnic areas are really nice and there is a lot of room if you are planning to stay the night.

Great water for swimming

Cricket Creek was amazing!  Even post flood in 2017 (we couldn't get in the lake for the debris) we had an excellent time in a spacious, well maintained campground.  The sites were great for campers and our grill.  The showers and restrooms with always clean and stocked!  

Perfect weekend! 

Cricket Creek had nice, roomy sites. They weren't too close to each other. My biggest complaint is that I couldn't see the lake from our site and we had to drive to the swim beach. Typically, the swim area is just a little walk... but this was a bit much for hauling a cooler and swim gear. The beach area was nice and even had a little playground. It was tucked away in a little cove so there wasn't a lot of boat traffic.

Very nice COE campground, well kept, clean showers and bath rooms. Stayed in site#19. Sites had plenty of room between each one and plenty of parking for your tow vehicle. 3o &amp; 50 Amp service. Hosts were friendly. We camped at Cricket Creek Campground in a Travel Trailer. Branson MO is 12 miles from Crickett Creek with Table Rock Lake within walking distance of the CG.
