Camping near Table Rock Lake

Several good camping options surround Table Rock Lake, from state park sites to more basic forest camping. Table Rock Lake Area State Park has shady, large campsites that work well for most campers.

Table Rock Lake Recreation Area is particularly nice, with good water views and not much noise. The weather can change quickly here, so bring layers even in summer.

Table Rock Lake works well for both families with kids and people camping on their own.

    Horseshoe Bend Rec Area & Campground

    Great for kids

    I was in site 61, which was awful. Right in the middle of screaming kids in the lake on 1 side, screaming kids on the playground on the other side. The site was so tight my mini Van barely fit. No place to sit at the fire pit at all. The bath house toilet wouldn't flush and was full of shit. I left and parked at the local cracker barrel! So dissapointing!

    Rocky Branch Campground

    Camp host was impossible to locate

    Camp host was impossible to locate to get a parking pass. We looked for an hour and a half. The next morning she arrived angry we didn’t “put in more effort” very rude.

    Pine Hollow 1045 Dispersed Camping

    Beautiful remote primitive campsite

    Excellent little campsite great for a couple tents at most we camped using a rooftop tent and it was a great spot. Very quite very clean unlike some other sites in the area. There is a second site just down the little pull off but it’s not level so would be a last resort. Don’t recommend bringing anything to large down the road camper van would be fine but would be difficult with a full size rig or towing anything much larger than a pop up. Enjoy!!

    Branson Lakeside RV Park

    Nice campground close to everything

    This is a nice campground. Our site was a concrete pad that was perfectly level. The park is kept very clean, nice bathrooms, and helpful staff. They allowed us to check-in 3 hours early, and we were extremely grateful. Branson Landing is only 5 min away.

    Indian Point

    Great location for Table Rock

    Nice and clean. Close to water slide and Silver Dollar City. The sites are small and difficult to back in though.

    Cape Fair

    Very nice place

    This is a very nice place. The sites are fairly close together but staggered so it is much better. Electric and water in the sites. Bathrooms and showers are located close by and are very clean. There are sites closer to the lake but I chose one at a higher elevation as there were flood warnings out last night as it rained a lot over this entire area of Missouri. Nice clean picnic tables and the fire rings are the good style that you do not need tons of wood to be able to cook. Some have the grill grate so high up that even at the lowest setting you still need a lot of wood to build a fire large enough to reach that high.

    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
