Cape Fair

Cape Fair is a spacious and shady campground that sits along the James River Arm of Table Rock Lake. Perfect for water and nature lovers alike, it provides a scenic escape in the beautiful foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Above all, this is a fisherman's favorite — its location on the upper James River Arm puts visitors near some of the best fishing action on Table Rock Lake, and with plenty of campsites right near the water's edge, you don't even have to leave the campground to find excellent fishing along the spacious shoreline. The Cape Fair Boat Dock and Marina can service all of your boating needs, including fuel, storage and equipment rentals. Water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing are popular on the bright blue waters. A large swimming beach is located on the left side of the campground, within walking distance of a picnic area. The campground offers 45 reservable campsites plus one large reservable group picnic shelter. With a good number of sites along the waterfront and almost all sites offering stunning views of the lake, visitors can't go wrong here. Amenities include hot showers, drinking water, a dump station and electric hookups, along with a large swim area, boat ramp, playground and marina. Table Rock Lake is a beautiful body of water surrounded by a forest of oak and hickory trees, winding down through the valleys and hollows of the Ozark Mountains from Branson, Missouri to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Originally built for flood control, the Table Rock Dam created a lake that boasts 779 miles of shoreline, drawing more than five million visitors a year. The Table Rock Lakeshore Trail, about 2 miles long, runs from the Dewey Short Visitor Center to the Table Rock State Park Marina. In spring hikers will see dogwood, serviceberry and redbud trees in bloom as well as many wildflower species; in autumn, visitors are treated to nature's colorful fall foliage. The trail also offers beautiful views of the lake. Additional hiking and mountain biking is available in the Mark Twain National Forest, parts of which are easily accessible from the campground. The Dewey Short Visitors Center at the south end of Table Rock Dam offers three educational films — on the history of the dam, the story of Lewis and Clark, and the history of eagles and their endangerment in Missouri — plus exhibits on the natural history of the area. Cape Fair is about 25 miles from Branson, Missouri, which offers grocery stores, gas and additional tourist attractions.
