Overview

Cricket Creek is a spacious and sunny campground located along the Long Creek Arm of Table Rock Lake in the Arkansas countryside. With panoramic views of the lake and the rocky bluffs, which rise above the water, Cricket Creek is one of the more scenic campgrounds in the area. Cricket Creek is very popular in the spring months of April & May, & has become very busy in the summer months as well. This is a great setting for visitors and campers to relax and enjoy the lake.

Recreation

A full-service public marina located at the campground offers everything from boat rentals to tubes, water skis and wakeboard rentals. Fisherman can purchase a license here and fuel up for a day on the water.

While the lake boasts an abundance of crappie, catfish, and bluegill, Table Rock is most famous for bass, and is acclaimed as one of the best bass fishing lakes in this hemisphere.

Scuba diving is also a popular activity in the crystal clear lake waters, which offer high visibility and plenty of underwater excitement, including the remnants of a submerged town and grove of old oak trees.

For an indoor activity, visitors may enjoy a trip to the Dewey Short Visitors Center where 3 educational films are offered on topics including, the history of the dam, the story of Lewis and Clark and the history of eagles and their endangerment in the state of Missouri.

Facilities

Cricket Creek Campground offers 37 reservable campsites. Amenities like hot showers, drinking water, a dump station and electric hookups create a comfortable camping experience. A full service marina is located on site and offers everything from rentals to groceries to gas. A swim area, boat ramp, playground and picnic area make the campground perfect for family trips.

Natural Features

At Cricket Creek, a marina extends out over the bright blue waters on one end, and a large, sandy swimming beach is offered on the other, providing convenient access to the cool waters of Table Rock Lake from every angle.

Table Rock Lake is a beautiful body of water surrounded by a forest of oak and hickory trees. Its waters wind down through the valleys and hollows of the Ozark Mountains, from Branson, Missouri to Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

More than five million visitors per year take advantage of this recreational oasis. Originally built for flood control, the Table Rock Dam has created a lake that boasts 779 miles of shoreline for the public to enjoy.

The Dewey Short Visitors Center is located at the south end of Table Rock Dam, with educational exhibits on the natural history of the area, a courtesy dock and scenic hikes that leave from the center.

We love going to Cricket Creek. The Camp Host is wonderful, as is everyone at the marina. We just wish this campground stayed open longer in the fall; as we really like to camp in late September and October.

The Cricket Creek campground is beautiful; the shower rooms were well kept and the camp attendant, Terri, is a keeper. She was so helpful and friendly. The best one we have met ever. We also met a gentleman who was checking on the restrooms, and he was also so friendly. We stayed in campsite 35 and while it was functional, we would not choose it again. When booking it, I failed to notice it was only 15' wide. It was too tight for us, especially since there was such a drop off to the area where the picnic table and fire pit were. It really needs a railing there to prevent falls. By the time our steps were extended, there was only a couple of feet or so left to navigate which turned into an unpleasant experience for my husband.

Our experience was excellent! Campsite #22 was clean and well laid out. We used our 8x14 tent and had plenty of room. Parking was adequate with enough room for my truck and 20' Champion boat. The Camp Host and Attendant were friendly and working diligently all weekend. Also had a fox come by our campsite which was very neat. Probably our best stay ever at a public campsite. We caught a lot of bass and the swimming area was very nice. We will be coming back in the spring!
