The Best Camping Near Branson, Missouri

very nice

Stayed here passing through on the way home, but was very nice... The site was flat and suitable for our 42’ Montana Fifth Wheel. Would definitely recommend and stay again if ever back in the area!

Very nice & clean!

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!!!

Highly appealing KOA

This is one of the largest KOAs I've stayed at and the kampground itself is very nice. The staff were great ands check in was super quick. Also, there's a rugged little trail that goes behind the kampground. It was a great little walk for the dog and I to stretch our legs after our long drive. 

  

The tent sites are all located at the back of the kampground around a circular pavillion. Each tent site has its own water facet, electricity, and fair internet which are somewhat redeeming for the negatives below. It's nice to have a covered picnic table and the lattice provides some privacy from the picnic tables of the other campers. Other than the traffic is very quiet in by 7:30 or so. Everyone seems respectful of each other. 

  

The tent sites are disappointing to me. They're small, close together, and nearer to the highway than makes for a good night's sleep in a tent. That makes them kind of pricey for what you get.

  

I'm tent camping because I want to be distanced from other people. I put mine up as far to the side as I can go, but I'm  still literally only 10 feet from the next tent. Other users mentioned grass on the sites. I haven't seen any grass around and site 5 has only stones on the tent pad. This site also has probably the worst view. It faces out toward one of the kampground roads and is in full view of the street light. The back sites seem darker.   

  

I'd highly recommend this KOA if you're visiting Branson in a trailer or RV. The kabins also look really cute (and there are lots of them!). If I visited here again in a tent, I'd pick one of the two sites that face the woods.

Great location but not for tents

Spent a week here .... it’s pretty and easy to get to and in. We have a 40 foot fifth wheel and had rented a “premium site.”   It was nice enough, but being as it was a premium site, I was hoping it would look a little nicer and at least be swept out or cleaned up. It was not.  In addition, the lady at check-in was less than friendly. However, the other staff we ran into were very nice. The TV reception is absolutely horrible and when we reported it, we were told that’s just the way it is.  ￼￼￼
