Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights8 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Recreation at Big M leans heavily on the lake: anglers come for crappie, catfish and bluegill, but Table Rock's largemouth, smallmouth, white and spotted bass draw competitive anglers and a steady calendar of tournaments. Boating, scuba diving and other water sports are easy to arrange from the nearby marina, and several commercial boat cruises operate on the lake seasonally.
















Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (9,087 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
