There is not a "bad" spot to be on the lake but some spots are much better than others. The 8mm would not be my choice on either side of the lake. It is either a long way down HH or a long way down MM and across the bridge. It will take you 30+ mins to get anywhere by car. I'm at the 20mm on the Osage Beach side and can be pretty much anywhere there is anything going on in 5-20 mins.
Keep in mind, there is next to no docking at Camden on the Lake because its all reserved. There is docking at Shady Gators across the cove and a shuttle, but that is also packed and near impossible to find a slip.
IMO, the best location to be for Shootout week is between the 14 and 24mm on the Osage Beach side of the lake. 15 mins to almost anywhere.

Shootout events start Weds the 21st with the Street Party and the Shootout ends Sunday at 4pm ish. Going the Shootout on Sunday is way less of a chit show
The no wake on Saturday is from 34mm to the 21mm and starts at 1 or 2pm and goes till 7pm. Other than during that time, its a 3 mile no wake when you get close to the Shootout

You should be able to find a nice 3+ BR condo with a 40' slip that should meet your needs. This is my friend's rental company. He has condos and houses. https://lakeoftheozarksrentalproperties.com/

I agree with Griff on all points and Cashbar is right in saying to do it NOW! Hell, now might even be too late.

I see that you are from PA. Have you done any boating on the Ohio north of Pittsburgh? My daughter lives in that area for another year and we thought about dragging a boat out there this summer.

Shawnee Access boat ramp at 10.5mm on Sunrise Beach side of lake. No trailer storage there

lake p.a.l.

I have plenty of room to store trailers. We live @ 39mm outside of Laurie off 5 by truck. May even have open dock space if needed & short no wake for Shootout.
Hey Tango, hit me up. Grew up in Pittsburgh on Allegheny River & boated entire 1000 miles of Ohio River. Rob 573-319 eight eight one zero
