About
Big M sits on a spacious, grassy peninsula overlooking the White River Arm of Table Rock Lake, surrounded by the oak and hickory forests of the Ozark Mountains. The campground offers 61 sites split between standard electric (with 30/50 amp service and water hookups) and standard nonelectric options. Sites are back-in style with paved driveways, and several accommodate rigs up to 61 feet. Each site allows campfires, one tent and one RV (or two tents), and up to 8 people. Hot showers, drinking water, and a dump station provide comfortable amenities for extended stays. The campground's designated swim beach and volleyball court offer lakeside recreation, while a marina within walking distance serves boaters and anglers. Table Rock Lake is renowned for bass fishing and hosts multiple tournaments annually. The lake's 779 miles of shoreline also draw swimmers, scuba divers, and general water enthusiasts. Hiking opportunities include the 2-mile Table Rock Lakeshore Trail from Dewey Short Visitor Center to Table Rock State Park Marina, featuring spring wildflowers and fall foliage. Additional trails in Mark Twain National Forest are easily accessible from the campground for hiking and mountain biking.
