    Overview

    Experience nature and adventure at historic White Rock Mountain! This National Forest Recreation Area features three unique and rustic natural stone cabins and a large natural stone lodge built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Each features a stone fireplace new, antique, and original wood furniture handcrafted by the CCC. Wind, rain and natural elements had caused the deterioration of the buildings over the years. In 1987 a volunteer group, Friends of White Rock, began a project to renovate the historic structures. With a lot of commitment and hard work, the lodge and cabins were restored to their original state in 1991. White Rock Mountain also offers nine primitive family camping sites. These easily accessible shaded campsites include tents pads, fire rings, grills, picnic tables and access to restrooms and water. Small RVs or pop-up campers can be accommodated at a few sites.

    Recreation

    White Rock Mountain is the hub of several national forest hiking trail systems including the easy 2 mile trail around the mountain top rim, the 17 mile Shores Lake/White Rock loop trail, and the renowned 170 mile Ozark Highlands Trail. Other recreational activities include swimming, boating (non-motorized) or fishing at Shores Lake Recreation Area; swimming, floating or fishing the National Scenic Mulberry River; Mill Creek and other National Forest ATV trails; mountain biking, hunting and more.

    Natural Features

    White Rock Mountain is 2,309 feet above sea level and received its name from the appearance of the lichen on the sheer bluffs that appear white from a distance. Guests at White Rock can enjoy incredible scenic views from the lodge, cabins, campground and bluffs. The forest is home to a large variety of wildlife including deer, bear, bald eagles, turkey and more. In the fall season White Rock Mountain offers unrivaled opportunities for taking in the bright red, orange and yellow autumn foliage that sweeps across the Ozark National Forest. The forest around White Rock is also a waterfall hunter's paradise featuring several great falls located in the surrounding area.

    Overview

    Buffalo Point is a convenient, fun-filled destination for families and adventurists of all types. It's perched along the Buffalo National River, providing exciting river sports and hiking opportunities. In peak season, a restaurant is open at the facility, serving up meals for those who want a break from preparing them.

    Recreation

    The wild river is a gathering place for water activities. Many campers spend their days fishing, hiking, canoeing or kayaking. Evenings are ideal for gathering next to the fire to revamp for another great day out on the river.

    Natural Features

    The campground is set along Buffalo National River, one of the few free-flowing rivers remaining in the contiguous United States. The river runs 135 miles without dams and cuts through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River. The region is surrounded by droves of lush hardwood trees and grassy open meadows.

    Nearby Attractions

    Two popular attractions within the Buffalo Point Area are the Indian Rockhouse Trail and the Rush Historic District. Rush was a zinc mining community until the zinc market collapsed and the settlement was deserted. Tours about the town's history are available. Buffalo Point is the former Buffalo River State Park developed in the 1930's as project of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Blanchard Springs Caverns, an extraordinary living cave, is a one-hour drive from Buffalo Point.

    Best place around Branson to camp

    ABC is just on the edge of Branson, but still within a few minutes of the Strip and all the town's locations.  We've stayed here numerous times and it's our go-to spot when we go to Branson 2-3 times a year.  They have a pool and hot tub, small restaurant, playground, very clean showers/bathrooms, can accommodate big rigs, have a small tent area, cabins to rent, horseshoes, RV wash, small store, can arrange travel, etc.  They have cabins to rent as well. There is a very reasonable and tasty brick oven pizza place just up the road towards Branson that is worth checking out.  The offer discounts if you are a member of Good Sam's Club, pay with check/cash, or are a current/former member of the military.

    Better than hotel and cat friendly

    No pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.

    Branson Treehouse Cabin & RV Park

    Come For The Cabins...

    So when I look at this stop, I would say this, the cabins are a 5 the RV area is a 3.    The reason for this is the the RVs feel a bit crammed into the space in most areas.    The treehouse cabins and regular cabins however are exceptional and well thought.

    As typically a tent camper there wasn't anything special about that area and it did seem like it was the lower end of the property.  For $26 a night I was underwhelmed by the smaller spaces with fire rings and picnic tables.    If I was to invest in a location for the same price points there are others which set themselves apart in spacing.

    But like I said the cabins and treehouses are an experience you will not find elsewhere in this area.    They are fun and functional.  They are family friendly and have a little bit of excitement for everyone.   Each of the cabins and treehouses are themed, something which is reflected not only in their names but also their decor.   With that said however the themes make them more appealing to book so people book well in advance on most of these.   I suggest if you are interested in staying booking well in advance of your trip or come during a less busy season to ensure your last minute bookings.

    Cabins typically sleep 6 and have fireplaces and decks with great views of the forest.  They each have kitchens which enable you prepare a meal for your family or for those who do not wish to do so there is still a dining are for bringing food back from an adventure into Branson.

    The Treehouses are my person favorite because it isn't every day you can sleep in an African Safari treehouse or retreat to a couple's cabin in the treetops.    The themes with these are so specific and so unique and with each theme you find different styles of amenities within each.   For example the couples treehouse has a jetted tub for those special occasions and despite being for couples it sleeps 4 so you can still share this with another couple or bring the kids and maybe get away to a private space.    The Grist Mill has a jacuzzi on the porch with a view, which is amazing!!!  

    I basically fell in love with the cabins and treehouses if you cannot tell.   This place is worth investing in the higher priced accommodations to take advantage of their uniqueness.   Unlike many cabins which are nice places to stay just to go somewhere else these could easily be the destination all themselves.

    This camp site is part of a marina and resort so can get packed but the views and amenities make it worth the risk. 

    We were on these beautiful bluff and had access to the lake but the ground is super hard.  we did not blow away so it ended up ok.

    Has lots to do. Boat and jetski rental, floating cafe, hotel with pool or cabins. Plus dock and slip rentals .

    Branson Treehouse Cabin & RV Park

    Great Retreat close to Silver Dollar City and other Attractions.

    My family stayed in the African Treehouse Lodge. It was a great weekend getaway. The kids loved that the upstairs was up a ladder and running across the swinging rope bridge. The playground has a zipline that all the kiddos had a blast using. We were able to "rent" for free a couple of movies from the office and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The trails made for a good afternoon family walk. Some trails were more cleared out than other but the variety is a plus in my book. They are not overly long trails but still very enjoyable. They have plenty of RV sites and some cabins and treehouses. Me and my wife will be coming back to one of the couples only treehouses for sure! There are not a lot of tent sites and they are all in one crowded area with little seclusion or cover but this place is clearly more geared to the RV's and Cabin getaways. Would be great for family reunions or family trips to the Branson area.

    Views are amazing, but one thing on the cabins

    The views, as other reviewers have said, are impressive and the Rim Trail is worth doing any time of day and any season.

    One warning on the cabins though - in summer be prepared for some bugs.  Stayed in Cabin B in August one summer with my wife, who is tougher than anything but spiders.  I would have been wise to get there a couple hours earlier and let her relax while I cleaned the place thoroughly.  They were pretty thick throughout.

    It's not that they're dirty, it's just that they're old buildings which aren't used every day surrounded by forest.  Naturally, you get spiders, rodents, etc.   It didn't bother me at all, but it did her.  Water pressure and hot water were not what one would hope if you want a shower as well.  

    We both enjoyed the setting, loved the cabin otherwise, and loved the hikes.  We've done day hikes there with the kids' since, and in a prior visit I saw a bear go lumbering in front of my truck on the road to White Rock.  Only time in 40+ years I've seen a bear in the wild in Arkansas, and I grew up in the country! 

    Still recommend White Rock, but if you're considering the cabins it's worth bringing cleaning supplies.  Even with that, they're a great bargain.

    Will be very nice

    We went in the off season and got a creek March snowstorm our group sampled a little of everything they had to offer. Some tent camping, some staying in the cabins and some in the new bike cabins. They were working on renovating the cabins and adding new tent pads when we were there. Overall was a good place showers were ok but showing their age. Direct access to trails and lake very nice. Had nice group bonfire. Good times overall.

    Cabins on the water

    This is a mixed use place. It appears that there are long time campers, some weekend campers and nice cabins along the River. The White River is incredible with amazing trout fishing, so this is a great place to take in the views of the river! Location is close to town, the Marina & State Park and also Gastons. Giving it 4 stars for the cabins, but not so much for the campground.

    Yearly Trip

    Our yearly trip to Roaring River is one of our favorites. We stay in the duplex cabins on site and my wifes family stays next door. We fly fish for trout and have a blast!

    Tall Pines Campground

    Chasing Fireflies

    This was a surprisingly nice campground for being situated right in Branson, MO and operated by Silver Dollar City, whose primary business is the theme park. The area is fairly wooded, providing more privacy between the sites. There are many amenities, including laundry, shower, wifi in the main building, a game room with television and comfy couches, pool, market, playground, and a shuttle to Silver Dollar City park. The campground organizes some special events in the main game room, such as the breakfast for Father's Day that we experienced. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. My daughter's roller coaster birthday plans were rained out, and the staff helped us find other indoor adventures. FYI: If looking for adventure in Branson, we really enjoyed Fritz's Adventure--check it out!

    As part of a special weekend, we opted to stay in the Pioneer Cabin instead of our usual tent. This cabin was surprisingly isolated, while still be right next to the bathrooms. We enjoyed our little bit of the Ozark, and the kids got acquainted with the abundant fireflies. The other cabins were not quite so private--to be fair.

    The RV sites were not as crammed as they are in many private campgrounds. I wouldn't call them spacious, or private either. The tent sites do not seem to offer much privacy, but can be a good place to hang one's for a night. After all, this is in Branson, and there is so much to do outside of a tent to worry much about the details.

    Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

    Magical lil’ Campground

    This place is not your run of the mill rest stop. Car camp, hammock, tent camp, or rent one the cabins to enjoy the roaming goats and horses around the property. Infamously known in AR as one of the best climbing spots. It does get quite busy, so it’s best to arrive earlier in the day to claim a good spot.

    Ramble Ridge Campground - Closed

    Delightful Campground - Even More Delightful Owners

    We camped at Ramble Ridge August 6-8 in one of their cabins. We were there for a getaway to Eureka Springs, and decided to camp instead of staying in a hotel. The owners of Ramble Ridge were beyond friendly and helpful. They gave us recommendations on things to do and try while we were there. We had one of our party members forget the frame of their tent. The owners offered us a tent to use because of this. Then, they had someone cancel a stay for the same time period, and allowed our friend to stay in the camper at no charge.

    The campground itself is wonderfully secluded and very nature-friendly. We had a campfire both nights we were there while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. The campground has several great hiking trails that lead down into a valley. We didn't get to see them ourselves, but there are cliffs at the bottom of one of the trails next to a creek. Checkout was a breeze. The checkout time is 2:00pm, which makes it much less stressful to pack up and leave. The owners let us know that since they didn't have another booking for that day, we could check out a bit later than 2:00.

    If you want to have one of the easiest camping trips with extremely kind and helpful owners, Ramble Ridge is an easy win. We will absolutely be returning in the future.

    Shady Oaks Campground & RV Park

    Best place in the Ozarks

    Camp hosts are amazing. They make you feel like you're family and they will even walk your dog for you if you need them to. Campground is very shady, quiet. Plenty of room between sites. Cabins are beautiful. Plenty for kids to do. Close enough to Harrison and other towns. We'll be going back to visit with our new camp host friends.

    Tall Pines Campground

    Stayed for many reasons!

    The campground buses you to and from the theme park, so you don’t have to worry about parking and the long walk to and from the park! The swimming pool and recreational areas were a plus too! The cabins were very nice to stay in also! Our family had a lot of fun here for many years!

    Serenity Campground

    Fall colors=gorgeous

    Cute adorable cabin. Perfect size for 4 of us. My husband, teenage son & daughter & myself went for Fri - Sun trip last weekend of October. Only problem was smell that came from toilet because I guess they use water treatment system and or septic system. Everything else was great, quiet and peaceful at night. We stayed gone during the day sightseeing. Would go again.
