Camping on Taneycomo?

[Boyd]

Hey all,

Heading up to Taney on Wednesday evening to maybe fish a little that night then fish on Thursday morning. I was wondering what the closest camping is to the lake? I know there's a Branson City Campgrounds, but are there any campgrounds near the dam site?

Thanks,

Boyd

The State Park campground is on the Southside of the dam on 165....Dano

Might try Cooper Creek.

I used the KOA for years, especially useful since I fish so much at night, but since they are gone, I was planning on Cooper Creek for my next stay on the lake. I also considered the "new" KOA - used to be Chastain's - although not on the lake. It would be a reasonably short drive to the dam access, north or south side. My wife and I are going to dog trials in Springfield this weekend, and camping near there, but I plan to sneak down and fish late Friday and Saturday night. With the generation pattern now ending nightly at near midnight, it looks like 2 or 3 am will be the ticket. Good luck on your trip. Gary
