Lovely park! Enjoyed the view of the lake and the swimming. Very nice, clean restrooms, although very hot (needs fans!!) Nice swim beach and playground/ sand volleyball court.

Next to the flush toilets which are very clean. Blacktop drive back in used 1 2x4 to level 50 amp with water. Plenty of room.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Hard to get into. Phone service showed as Verizon 5g Speed test was 300mb

The best COE campsite and probably the best campsite in Branson area for Campers. Extremely clean restrooms. Staff is very friendly and helpful without being in your business. Location across the bay from Silver Dollar City is great. You cannot beat the views or locations. It is definitely in the top 1%.

We like camping at Old 86 however if you don’t book months in advance you won’t get a spot. That is fine but is so frustrating when every weekend there are at least three empty spots. I wish we could go back to having at least two spots that are first come first serve. I also wish people would call and cancel if they can’t make their reservation. I’m not sure what the answer is but there has to be a better way.

My wife and I recently bought a pop-up camper and came to Old Highway 86 as a trial run to test out the new camper. The camp and staff were great. Kids had fun swimming in the lake but I don’t recommend the designated swimming area, one of my kids had multiple leaches attached to them after jumping in. Never had an issue in the open water. Overall it’s a great spot and we recommend it. Clean sites, clean showers, clean bathrooms. Just make sure to find a shaded spot if camping when it’s hot, we picked a spot later in the day and didn’t have much shade the next few days.
