    COE Table Rock Lake Old Highway 86 Park provides numerous waterfront sites for pet owners camping with dogs in Blue Eye, Missouri. All sites feature electric hookups, drinking water, fire rings, and picnic tables while maintaining a pet-friendly environment. The campground's regulations require pets to remain on leash at all times while outside RVs or tents. The spacious, paved camping pads create comfortable platforms for setting up pet-friendly accommodations with enough room to stake dog ties without crowding neighboring sites. Bathhouses remain clean and well-maintained, with convenient waste disposal facilities for responsible pet ownership during camping stays.

    Cricket Creek Campground, located just 12 miles from Branson, offers additional pet-friendly camping options with both tent and RV sites accommodating dogs. The campground features a swim beach area tucked into a protected cove with minimal boat traffic, providing safer water access for dogs that enjoy swimming. Roomy sites maintain good spacing between campers, allowing pet owners privacy and space for dogs to rest outside without disturbing neighbors. During summer months, early morning and evening walks are recommended to avoid hot pavement that can burn paw pads. Most nearby hiking trails welcome leashed dogs, though owners should bring sufficient water supplies and waste bags as services are limited in this rural setting. Wildlife encounters remain possible, so keeping dogs secured at all times prevents unwanted interactions with local animals.

      Branson Treehouse Cabin & RV Park

      Quiet, Centrally Located, Large Sites

      We really enjoyed our stay here! It was the week after Labor Day and was mostly vacant, making for a quiet stay. Love the amenities for kids! The only reason I give 4 stars is the dog policy— it’s very strict, and there isn’t a dog park type area to let pets off leash to play & get energy out.

      Loved our time

      Location is easy to find. Love being next to the water! Heard there is a dog park coming this summer. Great place to go if u want to vacation with someone that doesn't have a camper because of the cabins on property. we will be back.

      Sugar Camp Lookout Tower Dispersed Area

      Peaceful Retreat

      My husband and I rented our first camper van to see if short trips meant to create memories are do-able in a camper van, for us. 1000% yes.

      This was our first experience and got exactly what was described. The road was bumpy but we had zero problems with our 4x4 rig.

      Sunsets and sunrises were stunning!!! Great fall retreat. We even met a stray cat we wish we could have taken home with us. Poor thing is starving. She will come if calls and purrs when petted. We named her “Sugar” after the location.

      There seems to be a private off-road recreation area that provided moderate traffic. We were kind of tucked back a bit from the road and it didn’t bother us.

      Branson Lakeside RV Park

      Great RV park right on the river

      Great atmosphere and sooo close to the Branson landing for dinner/shopping but also right on the river for a great day on the boat. Just a bit down river from Lily’s Landing (bait shop and a fun stop in for the kids to grab a snack). Walking distance to a park with play ground and two separate dog park areas (one fenced one open). Definitely an “RV PARK” nothing secluded about it if that’s what you’re looking for... very close to neighboring site and even in off season it was packed full the weekend we went. The sites along the river side had great big fire pits too.

      Springfield - Route 66 KOA

      Great Service But Smaller Sites

      Of all the KOAs I have visited I was very eager to check out this one.  Close to Springfield and not to far from the turn off to Wilson Creek Battlefield this one just kinda made sense for a visit.  

      When I ventured to check it out I quickly noticed that the site spacing was not the best when it came to the RVs, it looked claustrophobic.   When it came to the tent sites I felt a bit more like I could breathe and stretch out.   Kind of strange that this was the case as usually the RV section at a KOA is more accommodating, in my own personal experiences.   

      The staff was very friendly and helpful and the overall amenities were pretty inclusive.   Some of course obvious upgrades coming at additional charges while others were standard.

      In true KOA fashion there is WIFI, which I personally always welcome because I work remotely and sometimes do not have the best of signal.    Additionally they had standard features such as a dog park area, playground for the kiddos and a pool, although the pool is not open year round like some.   

      A few things that were a bit less common however, they had a pet play room which was pretty cool and though I don't travel with my pets found it to be a very friendly touch.    I also noticed that in addition to snacks you could pick up in the store they also had pizza during certain times if you were not wanting to use your own kitchen or the common space camp kitchens.

      I was pretty impressed overall but with all the good there were those claustrophobic rv sites I just couldn't get past and the pricing of a KOA always hurts the pockets a bit more even with them being nice and the common kitchen area I was attempting to use and had a few issues, this could have been just when I was visiting so I don't want to completely hold that against them but it was having issued.

      TIPS:

      * Visit Wilson's Creek Battlefield to explore, learn and hike.  When you come to this KOA it obviously does not have any hiking, but the battlefield offers a lengthy system of trails .* Bass Pro's home is Springfield, MO so you will not only find the largest Bass Pro there but also a unique museum of all animals which is quite spectacular.

      Shady Oaks Campground & RV Park

      RARE FIND - Beautiful Park

      RARE FIND Such a BEAUTIFUL place! I love all the oak trees and the sounds of nature are so relaxing. They offer a spacious dog park, which the dogs are currently playing at while I relax and take in nature. If you are looking for a small piece of nature where you can get way from it all but still be close to town, this place is it. Everyone here is friendly and the shared spaces are always very clean.

      They offer great rates and a Military Discount too!!

      Enjoy your stay!


    Guide to Blue Eye

    Mill Creek Campground offers waterfront sites approximately 20 miles southwest of Blue Eye, Missouri. The Army Corps of Engineers manages several dog friendly campgrounds near Blue Eye with well-maintained facilities, paved sites, and water access. Most sites include electric hookups and accommodate both RVs and tents, with camping seasons typically running April through October.

    What to do

    Fishing access: Mill Creek Campground provides excellent fishing opportunities directly from the shoreline. "Most sites are on the lake but others are, at least, lake view. Some sites are fairly short, so be sure and check the length. Book early... fills up very quickly!" advises Collette.

    Boating options: Cooper Creek Resort offers boat rentals for exploring Lake Taneycomo. "Love this place. Once you get there does not feel like Branson at all. Tucked back on Lake Taneycomo," notes Robin R., highlighting the peaceful setting away from tourist crowds.

    Theme park access: Silver Dollar City is accessible via shuttle from Tall Pines Campground. "We chose this campground due to the shuttle that ran from the campground to Silver Dollar City, as that was our main reason for this trip," explains Deb L., who appreciated the convenience with young children.

    What campers like

    Waterfront views: At Baxter Campground, campers enjoy direct lake access. "We had a site 18, right on the water. We camp in a tent, so the tent pad was really appreciated, just a little too close to the fire ring. There were plenty of trees with shade," reports Michael V., who enjoyed setting up a hammock with lake views.

    Swimming areas: Cricket Creek offers a protected swimming area away from heavy boat traffic. "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," notes Natalie C.

    Clean facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms. "The bathrooms with the private toilet and shower. No issues with crowding or waiting for one to open up," writes one camper about Indian Point, highlighting the privacy and availability of facilities even during busy periods.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Popular pet-friendly locations fill quickly, especially waterfront sites. "Book early... fills up very quickly!" advises a Mill Creek camper. Most campgrounds open reservations 6 months in advance.

    Limited services: Hide-A-Way Campground has undergone recent management changes. "They have brought in new facility, renovated the office and community room and are adding new pads. Added a new community fire pit and bbq area and have cook outs with the guests on weekends," explains Natalie B.

    Weather considerations: Table Rock Lake levels fluctuate with seasonal rains. "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," notes one visitor about lake access.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "It has a nice little playground that the kids enjoyed. Staff was friendly and helpful," reports Deb L. about Tall Pines, noting the convenience for young children.

    Swimming beaches: Indian Point offers designated swimming areas with safety measures. "The swim beach is nice and has picnic tables for use. We kayaked around the cove while others swam. No alcohol or pets allowed in the beach area which I appreciated. Family friendly!" notes Natalie C.

    Recreation options: Many campgrounds provide organized activities. "The campground organizes some special events in the main game room, such as the breakfast for Father's Day that we experienced," shares one visitor, highlighting the social opportunities available for families.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Many campgrounds have varying site sizes and layouts. "Love love love this place! Camp host are great, bathrooms/Showers are very clean," notes Brent M. about Old Highway 86, though sites differ in size and water proximity.

    Hookup availability: Most campgrounds offer electric and water hookups, with some providing sewer connections. "All sites have electronic and water (that I know of). The only downside is that if you want a weekend site you have to book it months in advance," explains Jimmy G.

    Leveling considerations: RVers appreciate the paved sites at many campgrounds. "Our site had a concrete pad that was perfectly level. The park is kept very clean, nice bathrooms, and helpful staff," reports Ken T., highlighting the easier setup for RVs at Branson Lakeside RV Park.
