Hiking trails: Several campgrounds offer on-site hiking opportunities. At Branson Treehouse Cabin & RV Park, "The trails made for a good afternoon family walk. Some trails were more cleared out than others but the variety is a plus in my book. They are not overly long trails but still very enjoyable," notes Barrett C.
Water activities: During summer months, swimming beaches provide lake access when water levels permit. "The swim beach is nice and has picnic tables for use. We kayaked around the cove while others swam," reports Natalie C. about Aunts Creek Campground. At Port of Kimberling Resort, boat and jetski rentals are available directly from the marina.
What campers like

What you should know
Site selection matters: Many campgrounds have varying site quality and privacy levels. "Choose your site wisely though, i reserved a site unseen and ended up only having enough space for my popup and parked at the bathrooms. Otherwise very shady and great picnic tables," advises Bryan C. about his stay at Indian Point.
Lake level variations: Water levels can impact beach access and marina facilities. "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 Crystal C.
Off-season availability: Aunts Creek Campground and several others remain open year-round, though with reduced services. Winter camping provides quieter experiences with fewer crowds. "Weekend had a few family gatherings near us, but the weekdays we pretty much had the place to ourselves," reports Larry F. about his autumn stay at Port of Kimberling.
