LegendFor an RV park in Branson this is a GREAT option. FHU, pool, coffee house, pizza shop, yurts, cabins, RVs and all the fun right in town. We wanted to stay in town and not at the state park this time and this is a great option for that. Brand new facilities for the pool coffeehouse and pizza shop. There are tree, houses and yachts and cabins with fire pits and hammocks and hot tubs. Great option for a girls trip or family Reunion or even couples weekend. The RV spots are nice and level with full hook ups. I would recommend the backend Woods sites if you are needing a little space and privacy. And especially shade. The pull through and sunset sites along with the basic Backing sites are lacking and shade and in the summer months that’s going to be a big deal. The most shaded site for sunset is 38. The best site that I could find overall was 43. We were in 39 and had to spend most of our time around back because there was too much sun even with our awning.
TravelerI am not a high maintenance kind of chick ….i used pit toilets and sun showers and that doesn’t bother me but this weekend was horrible. The staff was nice but the overflowing dumpster led to a plethora of flies and issues trying to keep them out of our foods The air quality was horrible due to the stench of the dumpster was a true health concern every time the breeze came from that direction The following are photos of the concerns overflowing dumpster 150 feet from our site
GuideHosts were very accommodating. Site was lovely. Coffee shop was great. We did get a pizza one night, delicious. My only “complaint” We selected a site by the dog park on the map, but there is not a dog park.
ScoutWow 2 pools are huge size. Indoor & outside both . Shower houses public bathrooms 5 shower houses 10-15 showers 2 laundry's ,lodge, food golf carts entertainment ....block outside entrance live branson shows....
ScoutOur stay at Treasure Lake RV Resort in Branson was extremely frustrating due to a complete failure in communication by the staff.
Before arriving, I had three separate conversations with the campground staff regarding the dates we wanted to stay. At no point during any of those conversations were we informed about blackout dates that would affect our stay. Had this information been communicated upfront, I would have made different plans.
Instead, when we arrived we were informed that we would have to vacate three days earlier than planned because of these blackout dates. This was not our mistake, it was a failure on the campground's staff to provide accurate information when we specifically discussed our stay dates multiple times.
What makes the situation even more disappointing is that management had several opportunities to make things right and chose not to. Good customer service means taking ownership of mistakes and working with customers to find a reasonable solution. Unfortunately that did not happen here.
Because our stay was cut short by three days, we were unable to take advantage of many of the resort amenities. The shortened stay significantly reduced the value we received from our RPI membership and visit.
Potential guests should also understand that this is a first-come, first-served campground and does not accept reservations. If you are traveling under an RPI membership, be prepared that you may not receive the same level of consideration as other guests. We certainly felt like second-class customers.
The campground itself may have nice facilities but customer service and communication matter. Unfortunately, Treasure Lake failed in both areas during our stay and because of that we will not return.
ScoutThis was our 2nd time to stay there. Place is kept up very well and Michael is always helpful the facilities are clean and it’s a great place for a relaxing get away
