Cooper Creek Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Fishing and boating draw most visitors to Cooper Creek Resort, a privately operated campground sitting directly on Lake Taneycomo in Branson, Missouri. The lake sits in the cold-water trout fishing section, which also keeps temperatures noticeably cooler during summer months. A large dock with moorage gives anglers and boaters direct water access, and boat rentals are available on-site at rates reviewers describe as reasonable.

Sites run gravel throughout, and campers should come prepared to level their rigs. As D37 notes, "most spots are uneven," with "one or two trees between most campsites, but very open." Tent campers share the same gravel pads as RV sites, which makes staking difficult. All sites include full hookups with electric, water, and sewer, and cable TV is wired in as well. The bathrooms are located near the general store rather than distributed across the campground, so the walk can be longer depending on your site.

Amenities extend beyond the basics. The resort has two pools, a playground, a dog park, a basketball court, laundry facilities, and a marked storm shelter, which at least one reviewer singled out as something they had not encountered at other campgrounds. WiFi is available. Staff communicate via text message, which several campers found convenient. Reservations are accepted and recommended for peak summer weekends, when the campground fills and the open layout means neighboring RVs can feel close together. Off-season visits, including early spring and late fall, tend to see significantly lighter crowds.

Cooper Creek operates from early March through early December and charges $38 to $53 per night depending on site type. The campground sits within a short drive of the Branson Strip and Branson Landing, making it a functional base for families mixing outdoor time with nearby attractions. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can look at Turkey Creek RV Village to the northeast.

Many campers appreciated the lakefront location with full hookups and friendly staff. Some noted uneven sites requiring leveling and higher pricing for tent campers, but most found the amenities and lake access worthwhile.

Pretty cool place to stay

We stayed here over Thanksgiving. The campground was about 1/3 full . The people working here are very nice! I think the campground would get a 5 if there were more pull-thru sites and the bath houses were a little more updated. We will definitely stay here again when in Branson.

Shady and green

This campground has a great location for fishing or boating, there are docks attached to the campground.

The campground also has a playground with a seesaw and a swimming pool.

The hosts were very accommodating and the spaces were level and clean.

A bit rustic but it had everything I needed

This is camping, not an RV park. Gravel roads and uneven RV spots with uneven picnic/fire pit areas. One or two trees between most campsites, but very open. My site had 30 amp electric, water, and sewer. It had cable tv, which I didn’t use. Ask about 50 amp electric. Bathrooms looked clean but they are located by the general store on the way to the river. River was completely wooded with a large dock and moorage. I did not notice laundry facilities. There is a general store, but nobody to help you park. Lots of space, so that wouldn’t be a problem. Do expecting level your rig as most spots are uneven.

While the resort is surrounded by River and trees it’s a short drive into civilization.

Very clean and quiet camping right on water

This is an amazing campground in Branson. Once you get there does not feel like Branson at all. Tucked back on Lake Taneycomo. Love this campground.

Great value and location

The Cooper Creek resort is a clean campground on the shore of Lake Taneycomo close to all the Branson activities including the Branson Landing. All the sites are full hook up and full of trees. We stayed in March and the resort was pretty empty and very quiet. Very good military discount. This is the second time staying and will definitely return again.

Beautiful escape!!

The campground is beautiful and has one of those mountain settings you will not forget anytime soon!! In the mornings you often will find someone enjoying their coffee as they watch the fog roll across the waters, a picturesque view that is well worth a visit.

The campground itself is available to both RVs and tent campers, although they are shared spaces and with that comes a few challenges. When several RVs are side by side it seems a bit more congested. As a tent camper I had ample space when I set up and felt comfortable. The downside to shared spacing however is that tents must set up on gravel and this can be uncomfortable and post the problem of anchoring.

I myself laid down several blankets before getting comfortable and this ensured I would not be stabbed by a rock in the night. Since the ground is gravel anchoring was difficult at best so I opted to weight my tent down from inside instead, this seemed to work well.

In addition to camping you can also rent cabins which come in a variety of sizes. These seem to be pretty on course for pricing to other cabins in the area and compare in sizing as well.

This is a Good Sam Campground, and with that you have several improved and upgraded amenities, those come at a hefty price tag. As a tent camper I often try to stay within a budget but with this space there are no primitive sites or sites designed for tents specifically that means you will pay the same as an RV which is in excess of $42 for a regular site or $51 for a lakeside site. Discounts for Good Sam do apply to take down this cost a little, but still that price is a bit hefty!!

For me personally I had to see what kind of amenities I would be receiving for this so I could well take advantage. A basketball court and pool were nice, a dog park and playground were good as well but less likely for me to utilize. Laundry was something I was very happy to see in addition to their regular restrooms. Additional parking for trailers and boats was again something I wouldn't personally use but I could see as a marker in justifying the price point.

The thing that really struck me as a huge and unique offering was the storm shelter. The shelter is marked clearly on the map and explained when you check in and it is something I have never seen at any other park or campground I have stayed at. That in itself made me feel instantly more secure as a tent camper.

The overall impressions of this park are good. The people are nice, the facility as a whole is nice and the waterfront is picture perfect. The dock is amazing to go sit on and enjoy but the price for tent camping is still a bit high in my book. Staying here again I would hope to be in a cabin or RV to justify the price point.

Beautiful

We loved staying here! Lovely sites and fairly shady. Also great access to the Branson Strip where all of the attractions are. Hiking trails are also right down the road! It’s so lovely waking up and being able to go down to the water!

Escape the summer heat

Great place to stay when visiting Branson. Located on Lake Tanneycomo, in the cool water trout fishing portion of the lake. The water temp keeps this park cool during the hotter days of the summer.

The location is very convenient for slipping around the back roads to access the fun of Brandon without having to drive the busy main road.

Nice little campground

Right on Cooper Creek “lake/river.” Shaded campsites, options for full hookup and very friendly staff. Cool they communicate via txt msg. Great fishing and the opportunity to rent boats for an affordable rate. Only downfall is no access to Table Rock. If we visit Branson again this is where we will stay. 5 minutes from the strip.
