Love this area, great cell service with TMOBILE. The cleaning lady is the best in the organization. COE should definitely give her a bonus. If she asked for a better salary on bid process they would choose another cheaper person. I mean you will see the difference she makes to the campground and shower houses.

The host were so nice and friendly campground is beautiful, spots are very spacious , (not squeezed up next to each other like a parking lot). Hope to be back again in a Few months . Theres so much to do in Branson and of course the lake, we kayak (go out right from our camp spot)and rent a boat Making reservations online is almost impossible the day that the reservations open up ALL are already reserved for the next 3 months. Other than trying to get a reservation here we love this campground ..

Listen y’all, I love this place! Literally the best campsites ever. My only beef is it is so hard to get a spot. I feel like I have to beg, borrow and swoop in during the darkness to get something. You should probably just let me live there full time honestly… I’m just kidding, not really though. I think my real only beef is the shower houses are so awesomely built but kind of getting wore down and need some plumbing repairs. The host cleaned them well and frequently but the showers felt awful slasher movie broke down. Ok so can I come live there now???

The site was large and well established with good shade at the picnic table and close lake shoreline. We ended up pitching our tent on the asphalt meant for an RV as the grassy areas were more sloping than flat. Shower house was clean, no soap though. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for water access and a quiet campground.

Very clean campground and nice sites. Being on the cove was peaceful and relaxing. Close to hwy 65 and easy t get places as Hllister is a short drive away. Brought our inflatable kayak and it was very enjoyable.

One of our favorite campgrounds. Spacious sites, most right on the water.

We had a very pleasant stay. Most every site looks to have a good view of the lake.

We stay here a lot on weekends from April until October. We enjoy being close to the lake since we have a pontoon boat that we can bring along, and tie up close to our site. We also walk and ride bikes a lot and the park is very level. We have two small dogs that we walk several times a day.
We have never had any issues with loud neighbors or any type of disturbance.
The park attendants are excellent, very helpful and courteous.
This is our favorite place to camp, since all of the sites are very level and easy to access . Comfort stations are old, but the attendants keep them very clean.

We have no complaints about anything to report.

Very nice park with clean facilities. A lot of the sites are directly on the water.

Old Hwy 86 is certainly one of the better campgrounds that we've visited this year. The site is clean, well kept up, and the fellow campers were very pleasant. I especially enjoyed that one of the campers sat outside playing guitar and singing songs. He was very, very, talented, played a wide variety of songs old, very old, and new. Many of our fellow campers in the area spent time walking by, maintaining social distancing rules, and enthusiastically encouraging him to continue playing. There was quite a nice quantity of people walking through back and forth. It sure was fun!!!
