Old Highway 86

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

Old Highway 86 is a spacious and sunny campground that sits along the White River Arm of Table Rock Lake in the rolling Missouri countryside. Built on a peninsula, the park has water on three sides: many campsites are adjacent to the water's edge and the remaining ones are only a short walk away, with plenty of room to fish from shore. Picnicking, swimming, scuba diving, boating, fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing are all popular pastimes here. While the lake boasts an abundance of crappie, catfish and bluegill, Table Rock is most famous for bass, and is acclaimed as one of the best bass fishing lakes in this hemisphere. Table Rock Lakeshore Trail, about 2 miles long, runs from the Dewey Short Visitor Center to the Table Rock State Park Marina. During the 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. Other hiking and mountain biking opportunities are available at the Mark Twain National Forest, parts of which are easily accessible from the campground. There are 71 reservable campsites and one large reservable group picnic shelter. Hot showers, drinking water, a dump station and electric hookups create a comfortable camping experience, and one swimming area, a boat ramp, playground and volleyball court make the campground good for family trips. Table Rock Lake is surrounded by a forest of oak and hickory, its waters winding down through the valleys and hollows of the Ozark Mountains from Branson, Missouri to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Originally built for flood control, Table Rock Dam created a lake with 779 miles of shoreline. The Dewey Short Visitors Center at the south end of the dam shows 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 about the natural history of the area. The campground is about 17 miles from Branson, which offers grocery stores, gas and additional tourist attractions.
