"This site is the largest most spacious COE Site on Beaver Lake. Very large camp sites with easy access to the water.. 2 launch ramps for boats, marina on site. "
"There was a trail going to Beaver Lake from our campsite which made for a grear personal fishing spot. The restrooms and showers were conveniently situated but could have been cleaner."
"Located in South Missouri it is an easy day trip into Branson Missouri or Eureka Springs Arkansas. Very well located and very well run by the state."
"Campground 1 was tucked up in an inlet that went back into the valley. It dead ends at a wonderful trailhead. The west side on CG#1 is lined by a beautiful creek that runs into the rotating river."
$20 - $200 / night

"Right on Beaver Lake. Great hiking trail near by and facilities were clean. Will stay here again"

$24 - $75 / 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."
"Tent sites were nice and relatively spacious and close to the water. The hand full of RV sites were underwhelming and close together, and not near the water."
$24 - $26 / night
"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."
TravelerWe 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.
GuideGreat place to stay which is the norm for Army Corp of Engineers locations. Near Silver Dollar City. Our sites were not shaded but most others were. We saw lots of squirrels, a chipmunk and a few deer. The marina nearby had a nice Floating Cafe.
ScoutFirst time at Old Hwy 86 campground. It is so clean, other campers are friendly and respectful! Took the kayaks out on the lake! Perfect day!
Scout.decent campground, way too expensive
RangerSpaces 33 through 43 I would recommend only if you have a small bumper pull that is maybe less than 21 feet long or a class A or class C that’s probably less than 25 feet long. Most of these spaces would be very difficult to get into. 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. There was a shower building in the next campground over that was on a scale of one to five maybe a three. There were several vault toilets in the area. Nice hiking around to the marina. Was half price with our America, the beautiful senior pass. Also instructions on the Dyrt say to turn down Cow Face Road. I would stay on highway 264 to come into the campground as that road is quite a bit wider and not quite so curvy and hilly. That is the way Google maps was going to send us in the first place, but we followed the instructions on the Dyrt.
ScoutWas here on a weekend in August, and there was only one other group in the loop. Not much to do here unless your boating. Showers were miles away and looked pretty rough. Staff was very friendly.
GuideOnce arriving the owners/ staff were friendly and helpful. The convenience shop had everything you could possibly forget at home and plus! They have thought of everything you might need while camping. Kayaking/ Canoeing is so laid back , there was absolutely nothing to fuss over. Bonus was the float ended right at the camp site. How can that be topped!
Will be returning hopefully for many years.
TravelerRight off the main road (you can still hear the traffic, but it's not a lot of traffic)
There's a fire pit, some paths to a hiking spot. I don't think a bus would fit but my 21ft. van was mostly a tight fit.
A good public land spot with just enough space for two car campers
ScoutNice, easy and quiet with a great pool and lake access! We will definitely be coming back. Site 47 has a bit of sun
