Where can I tent camp or stay inexpensively near dam

Plan on a 3 day trip to fish the trophy area soon. Where can I tent camp or stay cheaply near the dam?

Table Rock State Park is closeby.

I'd recommend the State Park. It's really convenient.

I'll second that motion. I used to stay at Table Rock State Park quite a bit when visiting from Dallas. It really is run well. The office staff is easy to work with. The facilities are superb. The ground is really rocky, though. If you're tent camping, I don't think aluminum tent stakes are the best of ideas.

BTW - you can reserve camping spots online through the state park system's website. I don't remember which were my favorite spots, but they have a map to help guide you through.

Thanks very much. Saw the web site and the state park looks good.

As for the rocks, well, welcome to Southwest Missouri.

What rocks?

One way to "stake" here is to lay a stake, dowel, what ever between the tent and the pole and lay something heavy over it, like a rock if you can find one.

IF?
