The short answer

Table Rock Lake in brief

Table Rock Lake lies behind Table Rock Dam on Highway 165, southwest of Branson, and the dam is the place to start: Table Rock State Park, its marina and Moonshine Beach are all nearby. At Moonshine Beach you can only get in by car: there's no walk-in access and no parking at the boat ramp for beachgoers, and pets aren't allowed. Through March 31, 2027, the Corps allows free dry camping for up to 14 days at Indian Point (sites 1 to 74) and Cape Fair (sites 38 to 47).
