    Bar M Resort & Campground

    Hidden Gem of the Ozarks

    Definitely one of the most peaceful and tranquil campsites I ever stayed. Great place for families too. Access to Table Rock, Game Room, Pool and Jacuzzi. Small cabins and A-frames to rent. They have it all. This is my getaway!

    Dogwood Springs Campground

    Rustic

    Dogwood Springs in Jasper AR is definitely rustic and unpolished with regard to its setting.  RV sites do have full hook-ups although we had an issue with the sewer draining properly on site 31. With only one bath room each for men and women and one shower each as well, they do provide the basics. We had an opportunity to peek into a cabin and we were very impressed with the set up, having a full bath and mini-kitchen. It was well appointed and inviting.

    The lay-out of the campground is a bit odd in that some sites are only accessible by driving through another. 

    The view from site 31 included that of Round top mountain but also vacant, declining commercial buildings near the campground. 

    Proximity to stores and restaurants in Jasper was handy.

    Table Rock State Park Campground

    Great Location, Ample Spacing, Various Options

    Any stay at Table Rock State Park is a treat.   This park is one I have been staying at off and on since I was young so it has been great to see the park continue to grow and upgrade since that time.   

    Camping as a tent camper in the primitive areas I have noticed that the spacing has always been just enough along the outer loops.   In the more open middle areas it tends to get a bit more chaotic especially during weekends or holidays.    I tend to stay off on the rim of the loop, which is a bit further to walk to the restrooms, but is valuable in that no one walks around your site to get to another location.

    All sites primitive and improved have common features with picnic tables and fire rings.   The improved sites have both 30 and 50 amp connections to choose from.   This is handy when your rig can run off the smaller voltage because you will save a few dollars by selecting the smaller connection site.

    Bathrooms have come a long way since the older days.   What once was a daddy long leg haven with open showers only divided by shower curtains and cavernous and non climate controlled restrooms, is now evolving to a more individual shower and restroom area with door closures and better climate control and venting.   It no longer smells like mildew because the moisture is not stuck inside.

    A path runs along the backside of the campground which you can travel along to access the water.  This path will allow you to walk from the marina to the Branson Belle and all the way to the Dewey Short Visitor Center to learn a bit more about the lake and its creation.    Along the opposite side of the highway you will find more than a few trailheads which are great for a little departure from the typical Branson experience.

    When I visited this time the waters were very high on the main side of the lake making it impossible to enjoy the shoreline which had been swallowed by the overflowing banks. Instead, I traveled to the side which is less traveled and enjoyed some quiet retreat alongside some bass fishermen on the spillway side of the water.

    Quite a difference in crowds as this area with access to hiking and relaxing was mellow. To access this area I suggest taking the last turn off across the road from the Dewey Short parking into a large parking lot with a view point of the dam.   From this point take the small side road which departs the parking lot and follow it down til it dead ends and there you will find a hiking access point and a wonderful trail to the water.

    Eureka Springs KOA

    Better than hotel and cat friendly

    No pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.

    Branson Treehouse Cabin & RV Park

    A unique splurge

    You have your choice of accommodations here: RV sites, cabins, and, of course, tree houses! Since it was the beginning of March and we didn’t know what the weather would be like, we chose a treehouse (plus I’ve always wanted to stay in a tree house!) 

    It’s difficult to properly review this place outside of our specific experience since it was off-season and much of the facility was not yet operational. I imagine that in the summer, this place would be hopping with many families. As far as activities offered, there is a pool (in season), a nice and creative playground and a pirate ship, a basketball net, tether ball, and two hiking trails. You should wear hiking boots if setting off on these trails (while not long, they are hilly). They were also not always clearly marked, and I went off trail once or twice. Each of the treehouses has different features – some are good for couples while some are designed for families. We stayed in the Belle Arbes (beautiful trees) treehouse, mainly because it had a fireplace, and we didn’t know how cold it would be (we woke to snow our second morning!). It also has a deck, fire pit, swinging bridge leading to another smaller deck, outdoor shower, and a small fully stocked kitchenette. It is a bit of a splurge to stay in the treehouses, but it was a nice change of pace from camping for us. 

    The office is open from 8 am-5 pm and we received a call around 3:30 on the day of our arrival letting us know the office would be closed when we arrived but giving us instructions on how to check in after hours. 

    Branson Treehouse Adventures is close enough to the hubbub of Branson but even though it is located on a busy road, once you enter, it is quiet and peaceful (at least in the off-season!). We enjoyed our stay here, especially in the quiet off-season.

    Lost Bridge North

    Loved it!

    The campsites are clean and level. Camped with a few disabled campers, and the sites were very accessible. You can camp right on the water and the views are beautiful.

    Showers and bathrooms on site. A swim beach with drive up access. Picnic tables, water, and fire pits at each campsite. Lots of shade to keep you cool in the summer.

    Bonus: The camp hosts are friendly and super cool. They lead some amazing lives, ask them about digging up dinosaur bones.

    White Buffalo Resort

    Can't beat it!

    It's such a beautiful place, right on the White River and the Buffalo River, just yards away. The best of both rivers. The resort is well maintained and the staff is friendly. There's a pool in the summer and a ping pong table. The bathrooms do not have air conditioning, but are clean.

    Table Rock State Park Campground

    Opting to join the RVs to enjoy a bit more quiet at state park

    With a vast number of campgrounds in the Branson, MO area it might be a difficult decision for a tent camper to make when it comes to selection, however upon my trip I decided to stick with what I have known to be well maintained and patrolled campsites for solo campers. State parks, much like National Parks tend to be popular places to stay in way of price point as well as quality of overall amenities.

    I elected Table Rock State Park for my two night stay in the region. However when I went to book online I was a bit discouraged by the booking system. Additional fees are charged for online reservations, typically something I avoid as an unnecessary up-charge to the camper. I instead went out on faith and drove to the campsite arriving around dusk on a busy Saturday. 

    The campgrounds offer two separate campgrounds during what is known to be the busy season, each offering their own unique set of amenities. Campground 1 features higher and lower amp electrical connections, popular with RV and tent campers. Campground 2 offers these as well but also primitive campsites at a much lower rate.

    Typically, I would elect for a primitive site because I have no need to use electricity. This trip, however, I did need a charging station for my devices and thus opted for electrical.

    The way site selection works is simple, you first drive to the campsites and look around for yellow vacancy signs. Once you have found the site you are interested in you grab the sign and take it to the office where they register that site to you for the evening.

    Even on the busy Saturday, late in the day, I was able to secure a site in a semi shaded area located just a short distance from the public use water spouts as well as bathroom and shower facilities. Prices were very reasonable as well $23 for my site (a higher voltage site I selected merely because of the neighbors and tree coverage), $21 for lower voltage and $13 for primitive.

    The site itself was a bit rocky, much like all others in Campground 1 appeared to be. I found my bed pad very useful in making this a suitable place in which to call home for the couple nights I was staying as even the small layer of cushion seemed to even out the texture of the ground below. Though rocky, I had no issues hammering in tent stakes and securing my tent.

    Each site in the area is equipped with a fire pit with a optional grill cover, picnic table and asphalt parking space large enough for an RV length rig. The area is well maintained and did not have scattered debris which made for a pleasant stay.

    The bathroom facilities on a busy day can get a little wet as the showers and bathrooms are located in the same room. They are typical of a state park offering changing rooms within the shower stall and limited counter space for morning prep. Showers offered both hot and cold water unlike some facilities I have stayed at which only offer cold. I did not see any outlets in this area for hairdryers or styling devices for women.

    Cell signal was good in the area for all those techies. I have AT&T and maintained 3 to 4 bars in all area except one in the park.

    Another nice feature of the campsite at Table Rock State Park is the access to both the lake and the trails. The campgrounds back right up to one of the longest trails in the park which runs along the lake from the Marina to the Dewey Short Center, a unique information and conservation type center great for all ages.

    🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

    Overall I give this Campground 5 of 5 Bunnies. The only negatives I found with this campground were not related to the site itself. I noticed much like many other sites sometimes people do not observe the quiet hours as they should especially when there are large groups. On the second night this was not an issue as many of those groups had vacated.

    Huge positives were location and something I have not mentioned, the staff! One in particular was of great assistance in my late arrival. If you happen to be checking in or calling for assistance make sure you speak to Lark, she was so helpful and patient despite my arriving shortly before close.


Guide to Marble Falls

Camping opportunities near Marble Falls, Arkansas span across the rugged Ozark Mountain landscape, where elevations range from 800 to 2,200 feet creating diverse microclimates. The region experiences four distinct seasons with spring bringing average temperatures of 50-70°F and abundant waterfalls, while summer temperatures typically reach 85-95°F. Most campgrounds in this area offer primitive to full-hookup sites with varying levels of cell service depending on terrain.

What to do

Horseback riding at riverside trails: Just minutes from Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, visitors can explore the Buffalo National River area on horseback. "This ranch is beautiful and great for hiking and climbing. The environment is awesome and the place is well-managed," notes Alex M.

Rock climbing for all skill levels: With over 400 established routes on sandstone cliffs, the area offers technical climbing challenges throughout the year. A visitor to Dogwood Springs Campground mentioned, "Very close to numerous outdoor activities including climbing, kayaking and fishing. I found it a great place to just escape and enjoy views and wildlife."

Disc golf in natural settings: Play through wooded courses that integrate with the natural landscape. As Collin D. reports about staying at JB Trading Co., "We have stayed here multiple times and have taken advantage of the platform tents, the huts as well as primitive camping... There are tons of nearby activities from hiking, fishing and kayaking and much more."

What campers like

Clean facilities despite remote locations: Campers consistently mention the cleanliness of bathhouses and toilet facilities. According to Arthur M. who stayed at JB Trading Co., "The grounds are beautiful, facilities are clean and in great shape. The owner is knowledgable about the area and even loaned me some tools to help repair something on my van."

Hammock camping opportunities: Several campgrounds provide dedicated areas for hammock setups with properly spaced trees. Andrew S. noted at JB Trading Co., "There are also some disc golf holes set up, a basketball goal, and a 'hammock city' area in the middle of the primitive campsites."

Diverse accommodation options: From tent sites to cabins, yurts, and glamping structures, the region offers varied shelter choices. A review of Lake Leatherwood City Park states, "Some sites looked brand new with great tables, fire pits, and tent pads. Other sites were definitely older and a little worse for the wear."

What you should know

Seasonal lake level fluctuations: Water levels at some locations can vary dramatically with rainfall. Crystal C. observed at Indian Point, "Rains also can dictate your usage of certain portions of the park as the level of the lake can climb and engulf the swimming beach and outlets to the marina."

Limited motorcycle access: Some campgrounds have challenging terrain for two-wheeled vehicles. Sandy O. shared about Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, "I've never been there but the reviews and the website look wonderful. I only reviewed to say it's probably not a good place for motorcycles to get in and out. The road in is dirt and gravel."

Site spacing considerations: Campsite proximity varies widely across locations. One camper at Dogwood Springs Campground noted, "Keep in mind if you go here... when I say it's a very small, tight, jammed up place... this is not an exaggeration. All the spots are pretty much right next to the other spot."

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation options: Lakes and streams provide kid-friendly activities during warmer months. "We kayaked around the cove while others swam. No alcohol or pets allowed in the beach area which I appreciated. Family friendly!" shares Natalie C. about her experience at Indian Point.

Yurt camping near Marble Falls, Arkansas: Families seeking more comfortable accommodations can book yurts at several locations for protection from elements while maintaining the camping experience. As Grant J. mentioned about Buffalo Outdoor Center, "This place is great! We stayed in one of the platform huts and it was extremely clean... Kids loved running around in the well-kept open areas and playing frisbee golf."

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children within view of campsites. Regarding Tall Pines Campground, Sarah C. shares, "We try to be right by the playground and our kids always make lots of friends at The Wilderness. Clean bathrooms, nice store, great pool and shuttle to SDC are all nice amenities."

Tips from RVers

Challenging site access: Many Ozark campgrounds have tight turns and narrow roads requiring careful navigation. Tom C. observed at Dogwood Springs Campground, "The lay-out of the campground is a bit odd in that some sites are only accessible by driving through another."

Electrical reliability: Power supplies can vary in quality and amperage. As Tyler D. advises about his Dogwood Springs Campground experience, "I also had very slow draining sewer hookup. I think they're working on that, they had a plumber on site snaking the drains."

Premium views at hilltop sites: Byrd's Adventure Center and similar locations offer elevated camping with panoramic vistas for larger rigs. John F. noted, "Facility is what you would expect for an outdoor adventure facility. The sites are very spacious on the RV area, the smaller camper and primitive sites are very generous as well."
