Table Rock SP is easily accessible from Branson and provides a good gateway to the lake, Silver Dollar City, and Branson itself. The Hatchery is only a short drive over the dam where even more fishing opportunities exist as well as some easy river kayaking. The only drawback for me about the park is it feels very exposed. The sites are pretty open to each other and you don't have much of a block form the 2 lane highway close by.
GuideOnly 4 miles from Branson, Table Rock Lake state park is a great place to stay. Most campsites are shaded, modern shower houses, nice blacktop walking trail 4 miles long, goes all the way to the visitors center at the dam, great for bicycles also. Plenty of things to do in this area if desired or lay back and enjoy the quite Ozark woods

Very quiet, clean, well laid out, and friendly campground. I’m in the middle of a four night stay here and I’ll say it’s the nicest campground I’ve stayed at to date. Just far enough from Branson city center to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to get to whatever show/attraction within minutes. I will be back here when visiting Branson. I would recommend the upgrade sites, as they are off to the side with a bigger outdoor living area, but even the middle spots have plenty of room. This isn’t just another “fit as many campers in as we can” campground. The staff here is extremely helpful and friendly, including helping with tickets to local shows. They have a very nice playground for the kids as well as a pool. Would highly recommend if visiting the area. Just note there are two turn ins as the entrance sits at the top of a hill. The second turn in to the west makes it easy to see oncoming traffic getting in the park.
Guide
This campground exceeded our expectations. Though packed for Labor day weekend, we never felt the crowd. Scheduled activities for the kids over the weekend was amazing. They had crafts, bubble parties, (see photo) pool, hay rides, and more. The staff was friendly, and beyond helpful when needed. The other plus is that it is 20 minutes from Branson. No need to hear or fight crowds until you are ready! Rated it a five bit did wish my particular site was better. It was small, rocky, and starting to wash out. There were many great sites, and we will use one of their executive sites when we return. Look at park and read up before reserving. Half the sites are close to pool and playground, but not many trees. The other half are an easy 2 minute walk and tree covered!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Roaring River has a spot for everyone, from tents & RVs to luxurious glamping tents, you have to check them out. Make sure to share some pics of your stay on the Dyrt!
GuideBeautiful location. Lots to do at the campground like hiking, biking, and kayaking. I did some kayak fishing but didn’t have any luck. Only about 15 minutes from downtown Branson Missouri so great location to do some tourist stuff as well. I will be back.
RangerStayed here on a motorcycle trip in May 2018 and had some beautiful weather. The campsite was large with an asphalt path and a nice spot for my tent. First weekend in May and the park was pretty much full. My campsite close to the facilities. It was a nice state park campground, similar to all of the others in Missouri as far as amenities. Cell phone service and lots of walking paths. Close to lakes, the Arkansas border, and Branson was just 15 minutes away.

Beautiful area near the Buffalo National River. Lost Valley Canoe & Lodging has a yurt, campsites, cabins with hot tubs on the deck, bunkhouse, showers, allows pets, and is family owned. Loyal customers return year after year. Canoeing, kayaking, or hiking. LVC store has groceries, even organic, supplies, and friendly folks.

My grandparents started taking us here when we were young. My parents then started taking their grandkids to stay here on trips to Branson. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, mini golf course, arcade room, frisbee golf course, walking trails, and it’s in the heart of Branson but you would never know. It’s a quiet campground in a busy city but you hear no traffic.
ScoutThe campground and the shower house/bathrooms were very nice and clean. The site we had was on a hill so I wouldn’t pick that one again.Most are flat. They have a yurt that you can rent and a deck with a heavy duty tent over it close to the water. If you want to walk nearby and get in the water it is rocky so bring your water shoes! There is a marina store nearby if you need something. We would camp here again.

The park itself is beautiful. Sites are large. Close to everything Branson has to offer.
GuideWell taken care of place with lots of activities. Close to lake Bull Shoals, Taneycomo, and Branson if that's your thing.
TravelerIts close to Branson and right on the lake. They have several parks and walking trails. It has several shaded camping spots
TravelerGreat walking trail alongside lake. Awesome marina and store. Smaller campsites. Not one of my faves, but great location to do things around Branson.
ScoutAwesome campground close to the city of Branson and all of its attractions. Be sure to stop by the Marina and see Captain Mitch to rent a boat
TravelerNice campground with a paved walking/cycling trail from boat docks to the dam. Nice showers, fairly level campsites. Fishing within walking distance. Branson and there shows and amusement parks close by as well
GuideSmall tight campsites without much privacy. This park is more about going out onto the lake or driving into the Branson attractions.
There is little shade so bring your awning. The showers and bathrooms are not all that clean and fairly primitive.

This was a surprisingly nice campground for being situated right in Branson, MO and operated by Silver Dollar City, whose primary business is the theme park. The area is fairly wooded, providing more privacy between the sites. There are many amenities, including laundry, shower, wifi in the main building, a game room with television and comfy couches, pool, market, playground, and a shuttle to Silver Dollar City park. The campground organizes some special events in the main game room, such as the breakfast for Father's Day that we experienced. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. My daughter's roller coaster birthday plans were rained out, and the staff helped us find other indoor adventures. FYI: If looking for adventure in Branson, we really enjoyed Fritz's Adventure--check it out!
As part of a special weekend, we opted to stay in the Pioneer Cabin instead of our usual tent. This cabin was surprisingly isolated, while still be right next to the bathrooms. We enjoyed our little bit of the Ozark, and the kids got acquainted with the abundant fireflies. The other cabins were not quite so private--to be fair.
The RV sites were not as crammed as they are in many private campgrounds. I wouldn't call them spacious, or private either. The tent sites do not seem to offer much privacy, but can be a good place to hang one's for a night. After all, this is in Branson, and there is so much to do outside of a tent to worry much about the details.
LegendThis campground is located near Branson and is a great base camp area. The campground is mostly shaded and close to the waters of Table Rock Lake. There are plenty of activities for the whale with 30 mins along with plenty of opportunities to get on the water.
LegendThis state park is awesome. From boating to fishing to hiking it offers everything to families. The campground is a little dated but work on updating is continuous. The trails are what brings us back every year. The marina offers boats and watercraft to rent and is close to Branson.
RangerWhen we were at Table Rock State Park it rained and rained and...rained. But this just meant that we spent most of our time exploring the nature center and Branson. We can't wait to get to come back and spend time in the water and fishing, although we did fish some without much luck.

We loved this campground. My parents brought their camper and we tent camped. The park was beautiful, the facilities were very clean, and the people were friendly! It was nice and quiet, close to the lake, and our children loved the pool! Just a short drive to Branson or to do some mountain biking in the state park! We will be back!

We sent a week here this year (2021) it was great, their was fireworks all around us and across the lake. This is close to Branson so alot more to do and see from here, if you stay and don't want to cook, Millis Jo's is now open and is a great place. Their's so many thing's to do here at almost anytime...
LegendNeeded a site near Springfield to allow one of us to fly out for a family event. Picked this ACOE campground due to its proximity to Springfield and Branson. Verizon signal was strong enough to stream Hulu, etc. We were in site #35, 30amp, no water. I think our site was the best in the loop for privacy outside with placement of picnic table and fire ring.
GuideAwesome staff! Great place to go if you want to be close to Branson but not spend all day every day there and still have activities for the kids to do. Sites are closer together but found that to be fairly typical with yogi campgrounds. This one has beautiful mature trees all over and the staff are continuing to make improvements/upgrades.
We’ll be back

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.

For those looking for a campground near Branson which offers access to top attractions as well as Table Rock Lake, Indian Point is worth a consideration. The park itself is only a short distance from the 76 Strip and has quick access to Silver Dollar City, even sharing a tram system with the park.
The campground is well spaced and offers shaded sites for a variety of sizing options from tent camping to larger pull through sites. Each site boasting the standard amenities for travel of a fire ring and picnic table. Many also have connections available and include both water and electrical offerings.
The site offers a dump station for those RVers needing the service and day use areas for those wanting to visit for fun day at the lake without the commitment of an overnight stay. Picnic Shelters are available and can also be rented for special events and larger groups.
Restrooms here vary and have both standard restrooms and shower houses. The set up itself is very nice and looks to be much more improved than some parks in the area offering a bit more privacy from the typical sites which have only curtain doors. The facilities instead look very well maintained and have private restroom and shower units for those using them. Although they are still recommending as much distancing as possible and use of your own isolated restrooms when applicable.
When I visited I noticed the sites are not all created equally in way of parking, some were very lengthy and could easily allow for more than one vehicle while others were lucky to have a small parking area for a car and tent. My advice is to defiantly look and book online before coming to the park before any trip to ensure your spacing. For those not doing so, additional parking is located throughout the park in small pull out areas near restrooms and closer to the boat ramp areas.
With recent closures of many outdoor areas, this location has opened its doors to tourists once again for the season and with that it has quickly become a popular destination. For this reason you will want to book ahead of time and be prepared to face larger than usual crowds when using the public spaces.
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. Upon my visit I noticed the swimming beach was completely under water and thus the facilities near it were not able to be used. The marina was very busy despite many of the walkways being underwater slightly or a brief walk through water to get to.
The overall feel of this campground is very homey as the people visiting all seem to be very family friendly. The limitation of alcohol keeps man of the party goes away from this park and it allows for quieter evenings and more family based fun inside the park itself with the vast open spaces.
In addition to the lake and campground themselves, there is a small general store located just across from the camp to make those last minute pick ups a bit easier to find versus running back into town. This is extremely helpful for those who need something small but don’t want to have to drive far to get it. A small restaurant is also located in this area.
