About this campground
Nestled along the pristine waters of Table Rock Lake's White River Arm, Eagle Rock Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its sprawling grassy meadows and thoughtfully designed amenities. This family-friendly haven combines the comfort of modern conveniences—including hot showers, convenient dump stations, and reliable electric hookups—with the timeless appeal of lakeside camping. Children's laughter fills the air at the playground and beach area, while friendly volleyball matches bring families together as the sun sets over the shimmering lake waters.
Eagle Rock Campground offers diverse camping options, including standard electric and non-electric campsites.
Historical SignificanceJust a short journey from your campsite, the Dewey Short Visitors Center stands as a gateway to the region's rich heritage. Here, the epic tales of Lewis and Clark's westward journey come alive through engaging exhibits, while the remarkable story of Missouri's bald eagles—from near extinction to triumphant return—inspires visitors of all ages. These majestic birds, once rare in these skies, now soar regularly above the lake, connecting campers to both natural history and conservation success.
Weather and SeasonsEach season paints Eagle Rock Campground with its own distinctive palette. Spring arrives in a spectacular burst of pink and white as native dogwoods and redbuds transform the landscape into a flowering wonderland. Summer settles in with warm, sun-drenched days perfect for lake activities, tempered by gentle breezes and manageable humidity. When autumn arrives, the surrounding forests explode into a breathtaking tapestry of gold, crimson, and amber, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your camping adventure.
ElevationPerched within the rolling embrace of the ancient Ozark Mountains, Eagle Rock Campground offers the perfect blend of mountain serenity and lakeside accessibility. While specific elevation markers fade in importance compared to the stunning vistas, campers will appreciate the gentle terrain that characterizes this highland region, making it ideal for both leisurely strolls and more adventurous explorations.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits like a jewel within a crown of mighty oak and hickory forests, where the rugged beauty of the Ozarks meets the sparkling waters of Table Rock Lake. Morning mists rise from hidden hollows while deer emerge from wooded valleys to drink at the water's edge. The White River Arm creates a stunning aquatic playground, its clear waters reflecting the surrounding forest canopy and providing endless opportunities for wildlife watching, from great blue herons stalking the shallows to bass jumping at twilight.
Geological RegionEagle Rock Campground occupies a fascinating corner of the Ozark Mountains, where ancient geological forces have carved a landscape of remarkable beauty. The White River Arm of Table Rock Lake winds through valleys and hollows shaped over millennia, creating intimate coves and dramatic bluffs. This unique setting, dominated by resilient oak and hickory forests, showcases the timeless character of the Ozark plateau—a region where clear waters, weathered limestone, and dense woodlands combine to create one of America's most cherished natural playgrounds.
