This is one of our favorite campgrounds. This was our 3rd visit. It’s peaceful, clean and the camp hosts are friendly and helpful. Floating on Table Rock is the best! We also visited the quaint town of Hollister and had a nice time.

Beautiful campground. Lots of shade at most sites. Most have a view of the lake. Good paved sites. Well-groomed swim area with loaner life jackets. Clean shower house and vault toilets. Closest to Dogwood Canyon and Top of the Rock. But not a bad drive to Branson, either.

My only recommendation would be that there be some updating in the bathroom and shower areas.

Super clean flush toilets and showers. Even the vault toilet is clean. Soap dispensers at all sinks. A nice plus. Level paved sites. Verizon speed blazing fast. Super friendly hosts and fellow campers friendly as well. I can see why it's hard to get a reservation here. I told the nice host how clean the facilities were. She said "Bobbi does a great job-leave her a good review." Done.
