Nice campground, enjoyed it greatly!!

Nice ACE campground.

While we love the campground, this year was a little different. They had water running across the road in many spots with some kind of algee growing making it like a skating rink. On our last day I slipped and fell damaging my arm told the park attendant and the answer was yeah we know it's slick we are going to call tomorrow and see about someone coming out and see what they can do. We were there 3 days not sure why they waited until the last day we were there to even think about doing something, apparently they had several complaints while we were there.

We paid for an electric site, but the electric did not work on our site, number 43. No attendant until the next day. Also, I am not happy with the new $10. modification fee that recreation.gov charges if you want to change sites or dates of camping.

Our first stay here was excellent. Large paved sites, clean shower house. Friendly staff. Water and 50/30/20 amp sites as well as some amazing primitive sites. View of lake from all sites. Many are full shade. Lakeside sites from number 10-27 are well suited for larger rigs, but several sites on the upper loop are too. Info on Recreation.gov seems accurate. This park is well off the highway but the drive isn't difficult at all, just hills and curves. So very quiet and peaceful, at least when we were there. Cell signal okay with Verizon. There is a marina with store and restaurant at this park. Branson is an easy drive, groceries and hardware in nearby Kimberling City. Millie Jo's restaurant is right outside the park and we enjoyed a meal there. We will most definitely return to Baxter COE.

Nice campground. Very clean.

This is an absolutely beautiful site! It's steps from the water & swimming area. We tent camp and though there wasn't alot of area to choose from at this particular site, the ground was level. The campground is beautiful and well kept. The bathroom were kept pretty clean, though the floors were always wet and slippery. They are a little walk up a little incline. The roads to the bathroom were pretty slick due to the RV runoff from higher sites. This was marked by signage but there isn't any way to avoid it if you walk to the bathrooms. Nonetheless, this is by far my favorite campsite ever and I have been camping my entire life! I will be back as soon as I can find an date that there is availability!

Very clean and very quite live camping here always

The staff here in the ck in booth and cleaning crew were fantastic! The bathrooms were kept spotless and sites were tidied each day. The only issue we had is the water in the bathrooms would not get warm. Brought this issue up to staff and it got about five degrees warmer, still way too cold to stand under! I have camped here and at Mill creek on Tablerock many times and showers have never been this cold before. Please please turn up the water temp.

There needs to be some postings around the waters edge that there is no fish cleaning on the edge, or something. I camped there last year and again this year and had to smell dead fish carcus both times. People cleaned fish and they left the remains or they washed up. I had to scoop it up and dispose it up the road to tolerate the smell.
