Table Rock State Park Campground

Crowded spots, though great facilities and prices.  Much preferred the indian point campground over by SDC

Just a few minutes drive from gas stations and grocery stores if needed, but otherwise in a fantastic location. Clean restroom facilities and super friendly staff. Sites 274-278 are some of the best waterfront spots.

Nice and quiet in our section. We had a nice site with views of the lake.

We tent camped at Campground 2 in a basic site. This campground has a lot going for it, but some things that could be better…

PROS Unlike the majority of MO state parks, this one opens before April, for those of us who like to camp the shoulder seasons. It has heated, relatively clean and well stocked restrooms, drinking fountains and water spigots, a great camp host who kept us informed about a minor partial water shutoff but otherwise let us do our thing, and the shower house looks very nice, though it was far too cold to use it. Walking distance to marina and access to the popular Lakeshore Trail. Sites very clean and cleared of brush. Recycling offered (and encouraged) at your site if you want it. Our site and the others on the same end of the campground backed up to private wooded area. Playground available for the kids right next to the shower house. Fifteen minute drive to Branson attractions (I recommend Talking Rocks Cavern, especially for families, but anyone can enjoy the cave tour). Campground was very quiet, though I’m sure being there on weekdays early in the season helped!

CONS Basic tent sites aren’t the best; the electric sites are nice and flat, but our site was hilly and very rocky. We were thankful we brought tarps to put under the tent footprints. Sites 237-239 are right on top of each other. The park doesn’t sell firewood or ice; a fellow camper told us the marina offers wood, but he also recommended we buy it somewhere else. We found a place right outside the entrance, but the wood was pretty wet due to rain the day before.

Just FYI expect the lake winds to keep temps lower than what’s forecasted; we expected 25 degree temps overnight and woke up to 19 degrees and frosted tents!

I would definitely return and try out different sites—we enjoyed our stay.

Paved roads and sites, showers and bathrooms ok. Set in the wooed shoreline on Table Rock Lake. Plan to return and tryout different sites.

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.

Really like this campground. Staff was friendly and amenities were well kept.

Campground was well kept. All pads level concrete. Short walk to the State Park Marina for boat rentals, fishing tournament weigh in’s, etc. Restroom facilities are top notch.

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.

Clean campsites & restrooms/shower rooms. Some sites are wooded & offer some privacy. Our basic site had access to the lake. Ir was level for our camper van.. Would love to camp here again. Had 4 bars on T-Mobile, but LTE data streaming was slow.

Great area and great spot. Lots to do when you want to be adventurous but plenty quiet when you want to relax.

Excellent!

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!

This was my 4 year old son’s FIRST camping trip. And it rained like CRAZZZYYYYY. But man we had fun! My wife is 29 weeks pregnant and she came too! Between fishing and canoeing and swimming and our hike... wow! The Carrick Creek loop was a little harder than anticipated... or it could just be that I’m out of shape. Either way. We can’t wait to get back out in the woods soon!

Only 4 miles from Branson, Table Rock Lake state park is a great place to stay. Most campsites are shaded, modern shower houses, nice blacktop walking trail 4 miles long, goes all the way to the visitors center at the dam, great for bicycles also. Plenty of things to do in this area if desired or lay back and enjoy the quite Ozark woods

Any stay at Table Rock State Park is a treat.   This park is one I have been staying at off and on since I was young so it has been great to see the park continue to grow and upgrade since that time.   

Camping as a tent camper in the primitive areas I have noticed that the spacing has always been just enough along the outer loops.   In the more open middle areas it tends to get a bit more chaotic especially during weekends or holidays.    I tend to stay off on the rim of the loop, which is a bit further to walk to the restrooms, but is valuable in that no one walks around your site to get to another location.

All sites primitive and improved have common features with picnic tables and fire rings.   The improved sites have both 30 and 50 amp connections to choose from.   This is handy when your rig can run off the smaller voltage because you will save a few dollars by selecting the smaller connection site.

Bathrooms have come a long way since the older days.   What once was a daddy long leg haven with open showers only divided by shower curtains and cavernous and non climate controlled restrooms, is now evolving to a more individual shower and restroom area with door closures and better climate control and venting.   It no longer smells like mildew because the moisture is not stuck inside.

A path runs along the backside of the campground which you can travel along to access the water.  This path will allow you to walk from the marina to the Branson Belle and all the way to the Dewey Short Visitor Center to learn a bit more about the lake and its creation.    Along the opposite side of the highway you will find more than a few trailheads which are great for a little departure from the typical Branson experience.

When I visited this time the waters were very high on the main side of the lake making it impossible to enjoy the shoreline which had been swallowed by the overflowing banks. Instead, I traveled to the side which is less traveled and enjoyed some quiet retreat alongside some bass fishermen on the spillway side of the water.

Quite a difference in crowds as this area with access to hiking and relaxing was mellow. To access this area I suggest taking the last turn off across the road from the Dewey Short parking into a large parking lot with a view point of the dam.   From this point take the small side road which departs the parking lot and follow it down til it dead ends and there you will find a hiking access point and a wonderful trail to the water.

The state park is located on Table Rock Lake and offers 2 campgrounds. RV hookups and tent camping available. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit with grill cover and a paved area. Some of the spots are rocky so keep that in mind. There is also a bathhouse, fairly clean. While we were there we went to the Dewey Short Visitor Center which was really neat. There is also some hiking and a playground for the kids! Close to Branson, MO. I would highly recommend a tour of Dogwood Canyons while in the area!

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.

Honored access pass for National Parks, was able to drive in no reservations and get a site, blacktop, fire pit, very close together, shaded, near water but no swimming,  the store had firewood but it was out on a pier for boat storage not easy access was wet and punky did not burn well.  Not suppose to collect fire wood,, staff in store and office did there job but not very helpful.  Not impressed will not go back.

We stayed at the #2 campground this past weekend. We really enjoyed our stay! Close to the local college where our daughter attends. The camp sites are spacious and you are not sitting on top of each other. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Probably due for a remodel. That was the only negative.

Spot 114. Electric 30/50. Community water 1 site over. Very tight - we’re in a pop-up and took some maneuvering but we got it in there. Pray your neighbors are quiet because we were close enough to hear ours snoring. Picnic table and fire ring. Site has access to paved walking trail around lake. Views of the marina. Restrooms just a short walk. We’ll definitely be back but better spots to be had. Bring your own firewood.

If you don’t need an electric hook up, best spots are 272-280 in campground 2 along the lake. Some not all have their own Lake access.

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.

Its on the water. They have plenty of shaded camping.

It's all in the name. A lot of the sides of Table Rock Lake are rocky so you have to search for swim areas. Otherwise a great lake to boat on and camp near

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

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

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!

Fun times

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.
