## Overview

 Cricket Creek is a spacious and sunny campground located along the Long Creek Arm of Table Rock Lake in the Arkansas countryside. With panoramic views of the lake and the rocky bluffs, which rise above the water, Cricket Creek is one of the more scenic campgrounds in the area. Cricket Creek is very popular in the spring months of April &amp; May, &amp; has become very busy in the summer months as well. This is a great setting for visitors and campers to relax and enjoy the lake.
## Recreation

 A full-service public marina located at the campground offers everything from boat rentals to tubes, water skis and wakeboard rentals. Fisherman can purchase a license here and fuel up for a day on the water. While the lake boasts an abundance of crappie, catfish, and bluegill, Table Rock is most famous for bass, and is acclaimed as one of the best bass fishing lakes in this hemisphere. Scuba diving is also a popular activity in the crystal clear lake waters, which offer high visibility and plenty of underwater excitement, including the remnants of a submerged town and grove of old oak trees. For an indoor activity, visitors may enjoy a trip to the Dewey Short Visitors Center where 3 educational films are offered on topics including, the history of the dam, the story of Lewis and Clark and the history of eagles and their endangerment in the state of Missouri.

Cricket Creek

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.

Family fun

This is a nice and quiet campground on Table Rock Lake. Cricket Creek Marina just down the road with boat rentals available.

Quiet Campground

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.
