Tall Pines Campground welcomes pets with shaded, forest sites set among mature pines on a ridge overlooking the Ozark hills. Located near Silver Dollar City and Table Rock Lake, the campground offers a peaceful pet-friendly camping experience away from Branson's busy tourist areas. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the property, including on the hiking trails and at campsites. Tent campers, RV travelers, and guests staying in the campground's cabins can all bring their four-legged companions. Sites are designed with connections, picnic tables and fire rings positioned toward the rear, providing ample room for pets to relax with their owners. The property maintains well-trimmed trees accommodating even large RVs over 13 feet tall, though tent sites don't offer much privacy.
Dog owners appreciate the lush, green surroundings at Silver Dollar City Campground where abundant wildlife keeps pets entertained. The campground provides various pet waste stations throughout the property to help maintain cleanliness. While most Branson area campgrounds enforce strict pet policies, America's Best Campground and Branson Lakeside RV Park both allow pets without breed restrictions when properly leashed. The unpaved spots can get muddy during spring rains, so packing extra towels for muddy paws is advisable. Branson Treehouse Adventures enforces a more rigid pet policy with designated areas where dogs are permitted—visitors have noted the absence of a dedicated dog park or off-leash area for pets to burn energy. Local veterinary services are available in Branson proper, approximately 15-20 minutes away from most Reeds Spring area campgrounds.
"Every site has an amazing view of Table Rock Lake and MOST sites are literally on the water. We walked (10 steps) down to the water every day and swam right behind our site."
"Some of these sites do have stairs and that could be a problem in some cases, and I definitely advise to be careful on these when it is wet outside as they can become very slick quickly(trust me on this"

"Loved the location as we had tickets to the clay cooper theatre and could actually walk to the show each night! The sites were gravel and mostly level."
GuideWe 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.
GuideHosts were very accommodating. Site was lovely. Coffee shop was great. We did get a pizza one night, delicious. My only “complaint” We selected a site by the dog park on the map, but there is not a dog park.
ScoutLocation 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.
TravelerMy 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.
GuideGreat 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.
TravelerThe owners are very friendly and have events to include all campers. Dog park and small laundry room on site. Three bathrooms one with showers. Dog wash station at two bathrooms.
LegendAshley here from The Dyrt! We’re excited to have this new partner online. This park is dog friendly with a dog park and offers a large community fire-pit (among other things.) Check them out and leave them some love.
LegendOf 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.
TravelerThis is a beautiful place, has full hookups, great space between sites and amenities like the bath house and dog park are fantastic. Not to mention the gorgeous creek. Park is quiet and well kept. Definitely will be returning!

Fishing at Table Rock Lake: Access multiple fishing spots at Mill Creek, where campers report excellent catches. "One of my favorite campgrounds. Most of the sites are right on the water. It is well maintained and clean. It can be hard to get in, but worth the effort!" says Sue M.
Boating opportunities: COE Table Rock Lake Old Highway 86 Park offers boat ramp access and waterfront sites. "Old Highway 86 is a very nice campground conveniently located to Branson. All of the lots are nicely paved and level along with many waterfront sites! Kick back, relax and watch the boats go by!" notes one reviewer.
Hiking with dogs: Several trails within 15 minutes of Reeds Spring accommodate leashed pets. "We could hike down to the waterfront but there really aren't designated trails from this area. It was rough terrain. There is plenty of shade and places for the kids to hang their hammocks," shares Natalie C. about Indian Point.
Private cabins: Tall Pines Campground offers rustic cabins for those who prefer not to tent camp. "The cabin area is hands above the rest, the best thing you will find for vintage country style vibes in this area!! They come in many styles and sizes to accommodate any family," says Crystal C.
Waterfront sites: Most campsites at Cape Fair provide water access. "We love camping right near the water because we can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, boat, etc. here. Wild life and jumping fish are all apart of the experience. The camp grounds are well kept and the bathrooms are very nice and clean!!!" shares Dawn D.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the clean restrooms at Cooper Creek Resort. "Very clean and quiet camping right on water. This is an amazing campground in Branson. Once you get there does not feel like Branson at all. Tucked back on Lake Taneycomo. Love this campground," says Robin R.
Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "This is our absolute favorite campground and we stay a couple times a year. It usually takes some planning because it fills up fast!" notes Natalie C. about Old Highway 86.
Weather considerations: Spring rains can create challenges. "The unpaved spots can get muddy during spring rains," reports one camper. Weather events may affect lake levels, so check conditions before booking.
Limited grocery access: Some campgrounds require planning ahead. "I would recommend coming prepared as there are not really any services to pick up last minute need for several miles. That was I believe both a blessing and a curse depending on your level of preparedness. Come prepared!!!" advises Crystal C.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas. "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," shares Sarah C.
Swimming areas: America's Best Campground provides pool access for families. "They have a pool and hot tub, small restaurant, playground, very clean showers/bathrooms, can accommodate big rigs, have a small tent area, cabins to rent, horseshoes, RV wash, small store, can arrange travel, etc," explains Jason B.
Kid-friendly activities: Bring bikes for campground exploration. "The kids enjoy riding their bikes, the small pool and hot tub too. They have room for big rigs, cabins, and offer a military discount!" reports another reviewer.
Site selection: Choose sites carefully based on rig size. "If the one across from us had been occupied I wouldn't have been able to get in," notes one RVer at Musicland Kampground.
Hookup options: Full hookups vary by campground. "Nestled on one of the best lakes in Missouri is this clean, family campground. Fairly level sites with quite a few lake sites. Nice boat ramp and swim area. Clean shower houses well located around the camping areas. Only complaint I could find with this location is trying to book an open spot and no full hook up," reports Cathy S.
Parking considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging navigation. "Camped here last minute to a walk up site. We have a 19' RV. Spots are paved and level, raised above the lake. Gorgeous views and water accessible from our spot," shares Staci F. about Cape Fair.
