We watched the Independence Day fireworks from our Windcraft trihul party boat on the lake. It was mesmerizing watching the sun set as boats gathered and speckled all around at a safe distance from other boaters on the calm lake waters. The fireworks from Chateau reflected on the water and the explosion sounds reverberating over us was incredible! This was an event I've wanted to do for years. I'll not soon forget it. We waited a little while for boaters to head back after the show. Didn't see anyone speeding back in a crazy manner as I've heard stories about. We did have to be extra careful navigating back to our slip at Table Rock State Marina, which took about 20 minutes, because it was dark, and to allow others to go buy and Keri keep a good distance.

We did the sunset cruise with Captain Matt. It's really worth every penny. We really enjoyed the sail. There are 49 tickets available, I think it would be far too crowded. When we purchased online only 15 tickets were sold, I think 25 would be the max comfortable number of passengers. The lake is beautiful and I'd absolutely do this sail again.

First time here at table rock. It is very beautiful. We are currently staying in campground #2. Dump Station and clean water in campground #1. Campsites are nice, well kept. The shower house is clean, heated, and the water is hot. Bathrooms are also clean. Laundry available in the shower house/restroom area. Washer and dryer takes quarters. There are tons of trails and the lake is stunning. Pet friendly. Camp hosts checked on us when we arrived. Everyone seems super friendly. Walmart is about 18 minutes away in case you forget anything. No issues to complain about for us. Tip: Grab firewood and kindling on your way in. Nothing sold in the park. We will definitely return.

Table Rock State Park is one of the primary areas where my brothers and I do our daily walks. It's a very popular location for individuals seeking some exercise or a nice walk through a wooded area. …

Agreed, they are generally pretty clean but, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. And of course, they are charcoal grills as opposed to propane.

Is there a nice Sandy Beach here?

Candice Campbell | Mar 15, 2019
Backroads and Byways | Mar 16, 2019

There is somewhat of a beach area at the actual State Park campground, pea gravel and sand. "Moonshine Beach" is north of the Table Rock Dam, State Park is about 1 mile south of the dam. "Moonshine Beach" is not part of the State Park, it is a separate location and it is part of the Army Corp of Engineers as opposed to the State Park which is run by the State. If you have an "America the Beautiful" access pass or a "Golden Access" pass, day-use at the Army Corp of Engineers parks are generally FREE for the pass-holder & those in the immediate (one) vehicle with the pass-holder. Depending on the time of year that you want to go, it's always a good idea to call ahead on the day you'd like to visit, to see how busy it is. Something that we do everytime now, and it has saved us a lot of hassle with getting to a location only to find that it's so crowded that it wasn't worth the drive to get there.

I'm not sure about making a reservation but you would want to look it up under Missouri State Parks and then look up Table Rock Lake. I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy your time there.

Is it first come or do you have to make reservations

Otto Bussanmas | Mar 15, 2019
Backroads and Byways | Mar 16, 2019

It depends on when you want to visit. If it's during the busy season, summer months lots of visitors in the area especially around the lake. Weather it's midweek or weekend it can be pretty busy here especially at the State Parks and Army Corp Parks. Based on personal experience over several years, I would Strongly Suggest/Recommend making reservations in advance, better selection of sites especially for accessibility purposes. Never "Assume" it won't be busy or there'll be plenty of sites. That has come back to bite me many times in the past. I've learned from it. 👍😀

Lisa Wolfe | Mar 15, 2019
Backroads and Byways | Mar 16, 2019

Call the camp host office for verification. In the past, unless you were on what's called a "Family Camping Site", you were only allowed 1 tent at a campsite with an RV on it. Rules can and do change from year to year occasionally. It's always best to check with the actual camp hosts office and also to make reservations. I've learned from past experience.
