The best beach camping near Sunrise Beach

·

Sunrise Beach pulls in campers looking for sandy stretches and lake views, with over 600 beachside campsites ready for tents. Expect average prices around $40 a night, with plenty of options at that minimum. You’ll find sites along quiet coves and right on the waterfront, so you’re never far from a swim or a sunset. Top picks include DnD Lakefront Campground Lake Ozark (67 reviews), Ozarks Piney Bend Riverfront (61 reviews), and Gasconade Hills Resort (1 review). Most sites offer toilets, allow pets, and welcome campfires. Anglers and wildlife-watchers have plenty to keep busy, and horseback riding trails weave through the nearby woods. Expect practical setups—bring your own gear, keep an eye out for local wildlife, and enjoy a low-key lakeside escape.
