“Information recently received from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indicates that they will be closing nine of their Table Rock Lake camp grounds and parks on September 15 for the 2010 season,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. “The parks and campgrounds included are Cricket Creek, Aunts Creek, Baxter, Big M, Campbell Point, Long Creek, Moonshine Beach, Viola and Viney Creek.” She points out that the boat launch ramps at these facilities will continue to be open and that area use fees will still apply.

The same information said that that camping will be available at Cape Fair, Eagle Rock, Indian Point, Mill Creek and the Old Highway 86 parks until October 31.

Johnson points out that both of the campgrounds in the state operated “Table Rock State Park,” on Highway 165 just south of the Table Rock Dam, will remain open offering complete camping services through November. After that date and through February 2011, Camp Ground #1 will remain open except for the possibility of individual campsite water spigots being shut off during colder weather.
