Table Rock State Park, Branson, MO

Post by Richard Mondavi on 11/14/2010, 5:52 am

For our trip to Branson, MO this year we stayed at Table Rock State Park. There are only a handful of the many MO state parks that offer some sites with full hookups and this is one of those parks. We stayed in campground #2 at a full hookup site. We were right next to a handicapped accessible site so we didn’t have a neighbor on our door side for the entire 5 days we were there. Just my opinion, but I think campground #2 is much better than campground #1.

Our full hookup site at Table Rock State Park.


These are a few of the electric only sites in campground #2 and offered more shade.

The park also offers a marina with a small restaurant. Boat rentals are also available at the marina. A 2.2 mile paved hiking trail starts at the marina, passes by the Branson Belle Showboat, and ends at the COE Dewey Short visitors center.

The marina was adjacent to the campground.


Hiking on a paved trail is soooo much easier on my poor knees and feet.


The Branson Belle Showboat.

While this is a fairly small state park, it does have a beautiful picnic area on the shores of Table Rock Lake and a nice playground for the kids.

One of the many picnic tables available at the state park.

IMHO if you’re going to Branson, this is the best place to stay. It’s not far from the city and the campground is better than most of the private RV parks in the area.

BONUS INFO FOR WILDCAT FORUM READERS.
Looking for some free entertainment? Go to the Branson Mall in the heart of town on Hwy 76. The mall is right next to the WalMart. There is a free show everyday at the mall and believe it or not, it’s quality entertainment.

Don't let the looks fool you, the entertainment at the mall was high quality.

Yes Sean, that's exactly what the ladder is for. I have an electric leaf blower that I use to blow debris off the top of the slideout.

I also use it to wash the trailer. Everytime I go camping I wash and wax a small section of the Wildcat. To clean the front cap of the trailer I put the ladder in the back of the truck so I can reach the top.

This picture was taken at the storage lot where we keep the trailer when it's not in use.

The camp ground looks great and your Cat looks nice and shiney.



But please don't use the ladder in the back of the truck any more. pretty please ,, please please, what ever it takes. Ladder safety goes for Everyone even the one mounted on the back of the camper.

you'd be amazed at how many fatal grams we get every year from MSHA/OSHA about low height falls

Hours and Hours of safety classes get beat into me every year, So I'm passing it on.......

I'll second that about Table Rock SP. We were in the shaded water/electric sites for 3 nights in Sept. Campground #2 is the nicest. No neighbors, quiet site and very scenic. One of the nicest we have stayed in.

We were also at Elk City SP, Kansas for 2 months - family. Great park with a lake and grassy sites with trees - yes trees in Kansas. Full hookups and paved sites. And the price was right.

You are right about my disregard for safety. I don't know what I could have been thinking. I won't do this again. Of course now I don't know how I'll get the bug guts off the front cap. Wait a minute, I'll get my DW to get on the ladder for me and she can wash the front cap. Idea
