Best Glamping near Ridgedale, MO

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!

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.

The 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.

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.

Beautiful 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.

Table rock is one of the cleanest lakes to go to around Missouri. Table Rock state park allows for some amazing opportunities to expand your knowledge and your children's knowledge of the wildlife, and outdoors. Great family trip and the sunsets and sunrises are ones you don't want to miss!

Stayed 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.

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. 

Tips: 

• If you are staying here book online and really look at the map when doing so to ensure your sizing needs are met in way of parking. 
• Venture into Branson for live shows and music, activities and more!! 
• Take a hike on one of the many hiking trails in the areas and explore this region of Missouri!! 
• Check the weather before securing a waterfront site. Lake levels are displayed on the Table Rock website and you will want to make sure you are not visiting when lakes are overflowing to the point of cutting down your adventure. CLICK HERE FOR LAKE LEVEL

We stayed there with 4 campers total. Nice place to camp. We did not have full hook ups so short walk to shower house that was pretty clean. Nice laundry area as well. Awesome trails with in walking distance from camp. Very busy park but nice and quiet.

We loved this park so much! The only issues we had was the ground was all rock, so we couldn’t get our tent stakes in the ground. Then, to get firewood or ice we had to go all the way down to the busy marina, which was a long walk or had to take your car. However, we did have fun and would definitely go back!

Nice 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

Always love going here. We get sites right on the water. You can bike ride,hike boat, canoeing,kayaking, swimming all from the campground areas. There is also a really nice public beach just down the road called Moonshine beach its a few dollars a car.

We stayed in a site with only electrical because it was booked up, but the pavilion totally made us forget we didn’t have water in our RV. The bathroom was attached to the pavilion which made water easily accessible. Fishing from our site made my boys really happy.

We have found the state park is a great place to camp. We stay in the basic sites right on the water. Wether we are tent camping or dry camping in our little popup. The views are beautiful, and hearing the water break on the shore is wonderful. Here we can swim or kayak as we want and no worries about things being crowded. coves are protected with no wake signs. There is always a fire ring, a picnic table. and a place to to setup camp. Up in the main area is a playground and shower houses. The shower houses here are what we call family style. Each shower has its own main door to the outside. There are nice trails for hiking and biking as well. Not to mention a marina if you have a boat or want to rent one. The only reason this is not a 5 is that it would be nice to have a few more water front sites.

Well maintained. Easy access

Great camping and you can go to Silver Dollar city! We didn't have time for the lake but next time we are going to stay longer. Kids loved the playground.

I have been to this campground ever since I was 2 months old, so this place sure feels like a second home. I truly love this place!

Great campground. Stayed there during holiday weekend. Nice clean showers and restrooms. Clean laundry facilities. Close to boat ramp.

Its close to Branson and right on the lake. They have several parks and walking trails. It has several shaded camping spots

I went here annually as a kid and I had to bring my kids here when I could as we live in a different state. This campground beats them all as it surely felt like my home away from home, Every time I come here, my heart always fill with happiness. It is hard to explain but it sure is a joy to be there every single time without a miss! My favorite parts of being here is when we sit and enjoy the campfire and then after a good night of sleep, waking up to see the lake right there is just so awesome!

All the usual state park amenities: showers, laundry, and electric sites. All the tent sites are directly off the road and consist if a fire ring with grill, picnic table and unleveled area for a tent.

The worst part of this campground is the traffic and the people. Our neighbors were all loud including a number of inconsiderate rv campers who made noise and had electric lights going until around 3 am.

Our site was near the entrance to campground 2 and the road to the marina. They have installed speed bumps to slow people down, but people just fly over them making an ungodly, jarring noise that wakes you up all night.

The trash truck came through to pick up the dumpsters at 6:45 in the morning. Luckily we were already awake by this time by the jerks with loud diesel trucks flying by fast enough to get air on the speed bumps.

This 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.

I came here on a Friday night without a reservation and was lucky enough to snag a basic campsite. It was very basic. Just enough room to pitch one tent, and no privacy. Steep terrain too.

Luckily, I didn't end up spending much time at my campsite, as the surrounding park was a blast to explore. There is a paved walking trail running along the lake shore here. I had lots of fun cruising up and down on my kick scooter. Bicyclists and skaters should find it to their liking too. There are some nice spots to sit and admire the view. There is also a dock where one can buy tickets and board a sternwheeler (I didn't but it looked cool), as well as an Army Corps of Engineers visitor center at the far end, next to the dam.

Bathrooms at the campsite were clean and extremely modern. Some of the best I've seen so far. Very well lit.

Excellent!

Eexcellent park. Beautiful and scenic the campsites are clean and in great condition. Bathrooms were clean and even smelled good! Plenty to do with hiking, fishing, and boating a mere walk away. We have enjoyed every stay here.

Great walking trail alongside lake. Awesome marina and store. Smaller campsites. Not one of my faves, but great location to do things around Branson.
