$20 - $200 / night

"We stayed in space 33 without looking first and we had to back our 30 foot fifth wheel down about 100 foot hill around the corner to get into the space. Campsite did have electric and a picnic table."
"We didn't have a lake site, but it looked like there were a few sites directly on the lake which would be amazing."
"On one trip I check out Lake Leatherwood City Park, a campground only about 10 minutes outside of the historic downtown area. This historic lake has both tent camping and cabin options."

"One of the better sites on Beaver Lake with a small number of sites, the access to the water is easy and the sites are fair sized."
"They are on the banks of Beaver Lake and are beautiful. The only downside is both campgrounds are built on the slopes of a hill."
GuideWe had the perfect little spot for our tent camping weekend. It is a campground so you do have neighbors but the sites were spread out and didn’t feel cramped. There was ample room for our tent, the fire ring, our hammock set up and the picnic table. Restrooms were the cleanest i’ve ever seen. I will definitely be back!
ScoutI was in site 61, which was awful. Right in the middle of screaming kids in the lake on 1 side, screaming kids on the playground on the other side. The site was so tight my mini Van barely fit. No place to sit at the fire pit at all. The bath house toilet wouldn't flush and was full of shit. I left and parked at the local cracker barrel! So dissapointing!
ScoutCamp host was impossible to locate to get a parking pass. We looked for an hour and a half. The next morning she arrived angry we didn’t “put in more effort” very rude.
TravelerExcellent little campsite great for a couple tents at most we camped using a rooftop tent and it was a great spot. Very quite very clean unlike some other sites in the area. There is a second site just down the little pull off but it’s not level so would be a last resort. Don’t recommend bringing anything to large down the road camper van would be fine but would be difficult with a full size rig or towing anything much larger than a pop up. Enjoy!!
ScoutThis is a nice campground. Our site was a concrete pad that was perfectly level. The park is kept very clean, nice bathrooms, and helpful staff. They allowed us to check-in 3 hours early, and we were extremely grateful. Branson Landing is only 5 min away.
TravelerCampground 1 is very shady, lots of trees and spacious sites. Trout fishing is awesome. Lots of trails and fish hatcheries.
TravelerNice and clean. Close to water slide and Silver Dollar City. The sites are small and difficult to back in though.
GuideThis is a very nice place. The sites are fairly close together but staggered so it is much better. Electric and water in the sites. Bathrooms and showers are located close by and are very clean. There are sites closer to the lake but I chose one at a higher elevation as there were flood warnings out last night as it rained a lot over this entire area of Missouri. Nice clean picnic tables and the fire rings are the good style that you do not need tons of wood to be able to cook. Some have the grill grate so high up that even at the lowest setting you still need a lot of wood to build a fire large enough to reach that high.
GuideWe stopped here for a two day break from driving and are pleased with the experience. There’s a shower house that is clean but well used, really spacious campsites and full hook ups. We took the bike trail that is super close and saw some beautiful scenery. The owner, Jerry, was super gracious and helpful and a delight to visit with. It’s no frills, but that’s what we enjoy. Would definitely stay here again.
