Cow Creek Scout Reservation is located on beautiful Table Rock Lake near Blue Eye, MO, and is used for both scout and family campouts. The camp is equipped with a shower and toilet facility, but is only available 3 seasons of the year. When not open, there are pit toilets available for use. Additionally, the camp has a pavilion centrally located, with amenties such as a fireplace and grill. Scouts attending Cow Creek can enjoy a variety of activities; hiking trails, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, small-boat sailing, and much more.
The 66 acre campground has many campsites that can be used as single family or can be utilized for larger group camping. Campsites are available waterfront or shaded campsites on the hill, where you can enjoy the afternoon breezes. A picnic pavilion is available upon request and the campground also has male and female showers as well as up to date bathrooms. Come explore the area that surrounds the camp. It is only thirty minutes from Branson for those units that want to add a show, the zip-lines, or shopping for an evening activity. The Buffalo River is only about an hour away if your unit would like to add a day trip canoeing, hiking or mountain biking. Program opportunities are endless!
Please note: Pit Toilets will be still be available during the winter season but COW CREEK IS WINTERIZED UNTIL WE ARE FREE FROM FREEZING TEMPS IN EARLY SPRING. Please plan accordingly.
