Guide
Stayed 3 nights. Weekend had a few family gatherings near us, but the weekdays we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Campground is well maintained with beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. We were in upper section (electric only) - the lower section next to the marina has full hookups. There are a few pull-through, but most sites are back-in and long enough for al most any rig.
Guide
Everything about this campground is fantastic. The lake surrounds the point, the sites are cleverly designed, the October crowd is quiet and friendly, it's near Branson, strong Verizon signal.
Guide
This beautiful campground in classic Ozark hardwoods is a haven for things with motors. Bikes, ATVs, gold carts, all manners of off-road thingies, and the louder the better. At the same time, it was clean, folks were respectful, and it was quiet after dark. Enough Verizon signal to get Facebook. Some sites have electricity.

Affordable and right on edge of town

This location has been a great place. It is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and the area is peaceful. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a campground in Branson Mo. It is also a short and scenic drive to what ever suites you in Branson.
Traveler
We 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.
Traveler
No amenities other than composting toilets. There are a few tent sites along the road and there is plenty of grassy area near the creek for RVs/trailers. This is a horse camp with plenty of evidence, but it was only us and a couple of other tent campers.
The creek was obviously spring fed, crystal clear and had a gravelly bottom. There were plenty of places to get in the water...understanding that this is horse camp.
The place was well maintained and mowed and it was super peaceful and quiet. The main annoyance was some trash in fire pits along the creek.
If you consider this as a waypoint, two things:
1. There is about a mile of dusty, gravel road that is a little rough.
2. We had great T-Mobile 10 miles south, but it dropped to zero by the time we drove into camp.
ScoutWe had a good visit here. Basic but did the trick and the owner was really friendly and helpful.
Traveler
Found this place on a whim through Missouri. Was looking for dispersed camping and not much popped up in the area. So campgrounds were next up.
This place already had a few good reviews, so I called them up. Immediately knew this was going to be the place. Super nice folks, clear communication, and even showed us the grounds upon arrival.
Lots of amenities for just staying a single night. Everything you need and want in a campground, but not a KOA or Yogi packed site.
Overall 5/5, cheap, friendly, abundance of things to do, and quiet (when I stayed).
P.S. Depending on which site you choose… the cost varies, but still cheap. There is lighting, power outlets, tables, fire rings and outdoor grill, along with many other fun child-friendly things.
Traveler
We have stayed with them twice. Spots are strategically placed and surrounded by woods. The owner is very kind and informative guiding you to your spot and helping you park. He will also give his favorite local recommendations for restaurants and attractions. He’s a veteran. Never had any issues with anything.
Traveler
Super friendly people, very accommodating. They offered to help us hookup when we arrived, so sweet, and specially since we are new to this. Gave us advice about where to eat around town. The site was nice and shady. The bath house was excellent - very nice showers and bathrooms, very clean, very private. Such a family feel. Very good value for the price! Thanks for an excellent stay. Would stay here again if we ever return to the area.
ScoutVery nice and accommodating owners. Great location with a country feel!
Scout
Perfect location in Branson! Nice park, well marked and easy to get into and out of, friendly and very accommodating management. Nice shady space and all hookups work as they should. We had great neighbors and really enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to stay again next time we're in Branson!
Scout
Loved the solitude of being by the water. We had another RV next to us for a few days, but with the privacy fence in between you would never know it.

This campground promotes child molestation. Eric Wyatt the park supervisor is a tier 3 child predator.

The park itself is beautiful. Sites are large. Close to everything Branson has to offer.

Camped in Loop B on Oct 4, 2023. Camping was free at this Corp of Engineer campground since off season began on Oct 1st. The Loop B campground has several RV/tent sites arranged in sub-loops in an open field; some trees for shade. Sites are close to each other; no privacy between sites. Sites appear to be level. Each site has a metal fire ring, table and lamp pole. The loop road is paved and the sites were gravel. There were no hookups in Loop B. The water station was shut off, but the vault toilet, which wasn't very clean, was open. No camp host on duty during our stay. There is access to Stockton Lake from the loop road. There was nothing special about this campground, but has good lake access for boats. Otherwise this campgrund is suitable for an overnight stay.

We have always loved coming to the Silver Dollar City campgrounds. We have been doing this for over 10 years now. We usually stay in the cabins, and this is our first year taking our fifth wheel. I was worried about the height, clearance and trees since our RV is is over 13 ft tall and 45 ft long. The trees were well trimmed and I had no problem getting into our pull-through spot all the way in the back. The people here are always friendly and helpful. We love the quiet woods atmosphere. Great little playgrounds for the kids and the pool. The pull-through spot was a little uneven but not as bad as it looks. It would be nice if they were paved. It usually rains this time of year (May) and the unpaved spots can get a little messy in the rain. The pull-through spots are alternating so you are facing your neighbor's door and not their sewage. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. We always come here for the Bluegrass Festival at Silver Dollar City. The park is great and worth the season pass if you plan to go more than one day.
ScoutWe didn't stay for long only a few days. But we have visited years ago and enjoyed the park.
We came back a little over a year ago and drove right back out. Recently were told it had been purchased and the new owners were cleaning the place out so we decided to give it a shot with the family for a short visit to decide if we'd come back for a longer visit later.
We had a great time! The place has been fully overhauled.
They are still doing some odds and ends but it wasn't bothersome.
The new manager is fantastic. she was so nice and is constantly running around planting and making sure everyone is doing well.
There's a hand full of long term guests that remained and we were told that the new owners really cleaned out all of the problem guests making it such an enjoyable place for them that they want to do cook outs with the guests and meet new friends again.
They are really working hard on making this place a great place for families to to come and have a good time and the guests are really appreciating all they are doing.
Everyone we talked with was so happy to sit and chat and just get to know each other around the community fire pit.
So happy to not have to go back to the state park now that this place is on track to being the great place it once was.
ScoutLove the location and quiet comfort of this park. It's close enough to all of the action but feels like you are light years away.
It's a perfect campground to have a fun family camp trip and enjoy the sights of Branson. The owners are also wonderful!
Definitely a great place to visit!
ScoutWas visiting my dad who stays in the park recently as a long term guest and have to say that they have done a lot the last few months under new management.
My dad's neighbors were not the nicest people and they had two large dogs they allowed to crap everywhere and would never clean up their area.
There were multiple complaints about the problem to the previous owners and nothing was done.
The new owners came in, in December and quickly cleared out the problem guests made everyone clean everything up and made the place back to its former glory.
They have also made it a point to personally know my elderly father and keep an eye on him for us so we know he is safe and being looked after while he enjoys the park with his dog.
They have made sure that the spaces are clean. Got rid of the unsafe guests who decided to take the place over and have made it a safe beautiful spot to stay once again!
So thankful they purchased the park and made it a safe and wonderful spot for the family to visit and a wonderful spot for my dad to enjoy his time.
Can't thank them enough!
ScoutWe have been coming to this park for years. We did not stay here last couple of years due to the amount of Longterm campers that had trashed the place. The new Owners have really cleaned up the park and gotten rid of so many of the problems that were bringing this once loved park down.
They have since cleaned up the park, gotten rid of the long term campers who were not friendly and were frankly scary. They've implemented security and rules and hired a fantastic manager.
They have brought in new facility, renovated the office and community room and are adding new pads. Added a new community fire pit and bbq area and have cook outs with the guests on weekends. The handful of long term guests who have stayed are extremely friendly and love the changes that have happened.
That is ultimately why we decided to give it another try and we are so glad we did!
So happy to have this once amazing park coming back to life.
ScoutWe thought we would change up from always going to Table Rock State Park. Boy were we wrong!!!!!! The RV lots are gravel/grass- no WIFI or cable. Most of the RV'ers are full timers, and they have the attitude that it's their park. And, if you encounter an incident with one of them- they all turn against your presents. Gray haired adolescence is what my wife calls them. Most sites have some tree cover but walnut trees will totally sap up your RV, not to mention the nuts when they fall. I would only recommend this place if your wallet is very tight. Table Rock Park is hands down better then this out dated and unfriendly rude group of full time campers.
ScoutWe can here in October stayed until April and got to some great people very friendly .pet friendly nice dog run.under new manger . under new owners the place is looking better .we really enjoyed the stay here will be back in October close to town .I can just say this is the only campgrounds we would stay at .if you want to meet friendly people and have a great time come to hide a way campground.
ScoutThe campground is definitely going through a shift. With new management, you can tell that there is care and attention to detail being put in place to make this even better than it was before! I can’t wait to come back with friends and family to visit as the weather gets warmer!
ScoutPark is definitely going through a revamp after the last few years under the old owners.
The new managers have cleaned up the park and made it a great place to hang out and meet new friends. We had a wonderful stay and met some great people we plan to reconnect with in the fall back at the park.
Can’t wait to see what they do with the place by then!
Scout
We absolutely Love this campground! It's beautiful, peaceful & lots of things to do. From walking the trails, kayaking, camp fires, swings & play sets for the kids to enjoying the beautiful scenery. They have just about everything you need in the little store/welcome center. And the owners are the nicest people you'll ever meet!
