This was our first time at Old 86 and we will be back. Site 25 is very spacious and has amazing views of the lake. The park was well maintained and every employee we met was terrific. I cannot fault anything.

The campground is very nice, campsites are spaced out. The bathroom facilities are so clean and well stocked its ridiculous !! The campsite was also clean, no trash.

This is an excellent park to stay at. All the spots have wonderful views. The check in staff are extremely friendly as are the park rangers. Can't wait to camp here again.

This is a lovely quiet park with three sided lake access. It is very peaceful and has excellent lake access.

I have been going to this facility for over 35 years and it has been great nothing else like it on the lake. But after this year I don't think we will be going back. You'd expect some good changes or upgrades over the years but the grounds are horribly maintained now, the bathrooms ever single one gets more disgusting every year, I don't need fancy but my goodness you'd think with it being a packed campground they'd have a little money put away to make some upgrades every 5 to 10 years. The park rangers this year were even more annoying walking around with flashlights shining them onto sites all hours of the night. I would love to go back but they need to put a little money back into this campground.

Grounds were unkept and lots of barking dogs.
@BruceF90EE29F2 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #7

Its a Beautiful campground, with a view from every camp sight of Table Rock lake. Close enough to Branson, if you wanted to go into town. Great camp hosts, extremely friendly people, its our go to place,

We had our three grandkids with us and really enjoyed the playground, swimming area and roads for riding bicycles. The boat ramp is really close too.The bathrooms and shower house we kept clean and fresh which is much appreciated. The cleaning lady was STELLAR and very friendly.Also appreciate the camp hosts dropping by and giving frisbees to the kids.Also had help from the park ranger and maintenance man for low hanging limb removal!Love this place

15 campsites were damaged in a spring flood. Much too slow getting them repaired not until middle of August. Also grass was 1 foot high and nobody was mowing.
@cliffc4878376 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #8
Camp hosts Dauna and Ken were very friendly and helpful in answering questions and providing guidance regarding the rules and regulations while staying in the campground. Bobby does an excellent job cleaning the campsites and the bathrooms. Recommend taking a ride on the Showboat Branson Belle. The dinner and entertainment were an excellent experience. We plan to go on the Showboat again the next time we camp.
@AlanS4569109 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #43

@Marietta291570 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #44
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.
@CharlesH720196 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #54
Old 86 highway campground Site 54Next 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
@SusanH8664991 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #16
Best campground in Branson area.
@MikeD2668364 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #5
Beautiful place, well kempt.
@AmandaL2055066 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #63
We like camping at Old 86 however if you dont book months in advance you wont 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 cant make their reservation. Im not sure what the answer is but there has to be a better way.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #35
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%.
@DavidR1068316 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #8
We love to camp at Ol 86. It is clean quite And friendly employees. We enjoy the lake and watching boats
@JamesR5751753 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #56
We were shocked at the tall grass! I've never seen the park in that condition.
@BrandonF642661 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #4
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 dont 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 its a great spot and we recommend it. Clean sites, clean showers, clean bathrooms. Just make sure to find a shaded spot if camping when its hot, we picked a spot later in the day and didnt have much shade the next few days.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
