    Indian Point

    Very peaceful and beautiful

    Great 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.

    Camping by permit only

    I've never been to this site but I live in Springfield just a few miles away and camping is by permit only, and permits can not be obtained online or by phone, you have to go in person to the Missouri department of conservation office, don't know if you can go to any office or specifically the one in Springfield, but there is one in Springfield; 2630 N Mayfair ave

    Rocky Branch Campground

    Rocky Branch upper campground

    Was 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.

    Edgewater Beach Resort- Lakefront RV Sites 16 Miles from Branson!

    Beautiful view of lake

    We had camping site A, which is right on Lake Taneycomo.  Sites are very large with full hookups.  The resort has a nice pool and laundry facilities you can use.  We stayed for 21 nights in July of this year.  You are about a 20 minute drive to Branson and 5 minutes to Forsyth.   We were in a 33 foot motorhome with a boat trailer and a truck also on the site and there was plenty of room.   Laura was very good to deal with.  She gets back to you promptly.
