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.
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.
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.
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.

Gaston's White River Resort began 59 years ago when Al Gaston, Jim Gaston's father, purchased 20 acres of White River frontage with six small cottages and six boats...the year was 1958. Present day, Jim’s grandson - Clint Gaston - will carry on the family legacy for many years to come. The resort now covers over 400 acres, and has 79 cottages ranging in size from two double beds to ten private bedrooms. The airstrip has grown from 1,800 feet to 3,200 feet. The six boats are now over 70, and with a state of the art dock to hold them all. The years have brought an award winning restaurant, private club, gift shop, tennis court, playground, game room, duck pond, three nature trails, swimming pool, conference lodge, and fly fishing school.

Beautiful area near the Buffalo National River. Lost Valley Canoe & Lodging has a yurt, campsites, cabins with hot tubs on the deck, bunkhouse, showers, allows pets, and is family owned. Loyal customers return year after year. Canoeing, kayaking, or hiking. LVC store has groceries, even organic, supplies, and friendly folks.
Guide
This is our go to spot when we visit Branson several times a year! Always kind, helpful employees, very clean bathrooms and showers, and is well taken care of. The kids enjoy riding their bikes, the small pool and hot tub too. They have room for big rigs, cabins, and offer a military discount!
Ranger
The lots are all privately owned and some owners offer their sites for rent. All streets are paved as are the lots. FHU on all sites, pool, hot tub, boat dock. Gated community with guards.
GuideABC 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.

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 .
TravelerMy 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.

This is an incredible place to camp. Your camp is where the White River and Buffalo rivers merge. If you enjoy fishing this has some of the best trout and bass fishing in the area. The resort has cabins, full hookup sites , tent sites, pool and play area for the kids. If you like to just float or fish they can help you with what you need. There is also boat rentals , fishing guides, just plain relaxing. The resort is family owned,

Blue Heron cabin was awesome! It was so so clean, and beautiful! Over looking the water can’t get any better! The cabin was so nice! Michael was great to work with and very professional and very nice! Can’t wait till next time ❤️

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.
ScoutExcellent camping facilities. (Tent, RV and Cabin)

We drove up from Florida for a late March early April camping experience. We loved this campground and plan going back soon! We stayed for 6 nights (5 @ site E and our last night we stayed in the "Mink" cabin.) Staff was very friendly Site "E" was huge and right on the water! The "Mink" cabin was incredible with a porch and swing right on the water! Perfect location with lots to see and do very close by.

My Drive to the campsite was beautiful. The new owners are extremely kind & accommodating.
My cabin was perfect for my dog & I. I’m excited to see the updates to visit again.

Horseshoe canyon ranch is an awesome place. There are many places to camp as well as bathrooms. It is a spectacular place to climb from beginner to advanced! The ranch also has cabins and horseback rides. Check out their website for more info.

Location is easy to find. Love being next to the water! Heard there is a dog park coming this summer. Great place to go if u want to vacation with someone that doesn't have a camper because of the cabins on property. we will be back.

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.
Scout
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.
GuideThe 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!
TravelerWe celebrated a birthday with family and friends at Blue Heron - we traveled from Texas. What a GREAT place. Beautiful views - so many amenities - they have everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Can’t wait to return and stay in one of the riverfront cabins. SO nice. Cheryl and Michael were so helpful and made sure our trip was one for the books.
TravelerThis 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.
Scout
Park is clean and well run. Along the beautiful White River, trout heaven. 3 “cabins” available, these are park model RVs in permanent spots along the River. Tent sites with no hookups available, but not at rivers edge. You can put a tent on an RV spot. Programs available from park rangers. Store in campgrounds has most of what you may have forgotten. Tent sites have trees for setting a hammock, some better than others.
ScoutThis campground has a shuttle to Silver Dollar City. The site we had was small, barely enough room to park your car and tent. But the campground and bathrooms/showers were exceptionally clean. We were here off season so we had it to ourselves pretty much. So it was perfect. They do rent cabins which looked very nice. We would camp here again but not during the busy season.

Family style theme campgrounds are always fun. Not really so much about the hiking and outdoors as many other camps in the area but the amenities and attraction of the campgrounds are usually the selling point.
I have seen many Jellystone Parks in the past, and I will say this one is a bit less themed than others. However what it lacks in theming it does make up for in charm as the cast and staff are extra friendly and involved. They ensure that children have interactions with Yogi and that there are plenty of fun activities for the entire family to enjoy!!
They host daily activity times for foam parties, scavenger hunts, interactions and crafts which is really fun and makes for a great family style outing especially for the younger kiddos. Additionally they have a splash pad, swimming pool, hiking areas which are a bit less challenging, playground and ranger station.
Though they do have an all inclusive style approach to entertainment they also have show tickets available for purchase for venturing into Branson itself, a great touch for additional entertainment as there are many things the entire family will enjoy.
Tent camping along with RV camping and Cabins is available but something unique to the park is the RV rental service where you can rent an RV to stay in, something not to many parks in Branson offer.
When I visited the park, some of the amenities and special attractions were currently closed due to the conditions going on in the world, but they still made sure to make it an exciting experience for all staying there.

This campground is one that is hands above the rest when it comes to upgrades and amenities. With that said it also is a bit higher in price point so when it comes to finding something in the area it is best to ask if you want or need the additional luxuries.
Much like other KOA parks this one offers group activity spaces. A pool, playground, outdoor bbq area, group pavilions and an indoor gathering space are wonderful when available. However when we visited due to the slow roll out of openings due to the things going on in the world, these features were not available.
So then it comes to looking at the more standard and basic services. There are campion options for all styles of camping including tent, RV and cabin campers. The RV areas are the majority of the space however ai was impressed by how many cabins and the size range of cabins they had on site.
Tent camping is located toward the back of the property and was a bit lacking however the space provided was nice for spreading out and still having some covered areas for cooking and dining. There is a shared pavilion/kitchen shelter in this area which offers water and electricity. The tent pad areas are grassy and well maintained.
All visitors have access to fire rings and picnic tables at their sites and trash pick up service is available daily.
KOA offers those who can connect high speed WIFI and cable. As a tent camper the WiFi is great even though I can’t use the other. This helps me to find the best attractions in the area quickly and both upload or download content. The overall cell signal here wasn’t bad though so it just was an added boost bonus!!
This campground has a small store area but is also located very close to the main areas of town for more complete shopping needs. They also have both a dump station and propane for those needing to fill or empty.
I noticed that since they are close to the lake they had an option to rent a pontoon here as well, something I hadn’t seen at other parks in the area. This boat can be towed from the park to the lake and is equipped with a truck to pull it!!
This campground has thought of pretty much everything!!!
LegendAs a person who has been to Silver Dollar City more times than a I can count, I never realized that the theme of the park was echoed in yet another location of Branson. It wasn't until I visited the Wilderness at Silver Dollar City, a unique campground located just beyond the property lines of the park itself, that I was able to see just how fun it would be to stay basically in the park but also in the wilderness.
Let me explain, you are not in the park itself, rather on the border in a nice shaded and wooded area with some massive improvements for comfort. There is a pool for those hot summer days, very nice bath houses and loops for both RVs and tent campers. But the theme of Silver Dollar City is most prevalently able to be seen in the vintage style cabins they have on the cabin loop. It is here that you feel like you are truly a part of the park still as the structures closely resemble those within the many streets of the park. You almost expect to see some of the characters roaming around doing their daily tasks such as cutting wood or creating amazing crafts.
The cabin area is hands above the rest, the best thing you will find for vintage country style vibes in this area!! They come in many styles and sizes to accommodate any family, and they offer a variety of unique features depending on the selection. Something I did notice was they do have old rockers on the porches for that perfect night in the Ozarks all the while offering a modern grill on each cabin to make a stay here both iconic and convenient.
On the main camping loops you find many sizes and styles of camping sites. Larger RVs have elongated pull ins for their rigs with large side yard style spaces while smaller rigs have just enough room to pull in and detach so they can go explore. Pricing reflects the size of the spaces themselves as it does with the style of connections or lack there of.
As a tent camper I noticed the camping loop for tents specifically was very quiet and located slightly away from the RV campers. A large field separated the two and it made all the difference in way of road traffic and also camping congestion. Not as many campers come here to stay primitive in the tent only area and it cut down on a lot of the traffic near restrooms as well.
Tent camping loop is basic with fire rings and picnic tables. There are common water spigots placed for usage but otherwise it is no frills. Camping here you can walk throughout camp but it is the furthest distance from the main areas for recreation.
Something else nice about this campground is the access you have to the park itself. A dedicated shuttle runs to the campground from the park to pick up anyone who is wanting to visit so you do not have to worry about finding parking or driving at all once you arrive. You can navigate directly to the ticket counter from the campground without lengthy lines waiting for trollies or having to walk further. Additionally staying here you have additional discounts in the park itself, so keep that in mind if you are planning a trip!!!
