    Bar K Wrangler Camp

    A good waypoint.

    No amenities other than composting toilets. There are a few tent sites along the road and there is plenty of grassy area near the creek for RVs/trailers. This is a horse camp with plenty of evidence, but it was only us and a couple of other tent campers.

    The creek was obviously spring fed, crystal clear and had a gravelly bottom. There were plenty of places to get in the water...understanding that this is horse camp.

    The place was well maintained and mowed and it was super peaceful and quiet. The main annoyance was some trash in fire pits along the creek.

    If you consider this as a waypoint, two things:

    1. There is about a mile of dusty, gravel road that is a little rough.

    2. We had great T-Mobile 10 miles south, but it dropped to zero by the time we drove into camp.

    Peaceful Fall Trip

    Camping Review: A Slice of Paradise

    If you're looking for the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I can't recommend this camping spot highly enough. Nestled in a remote area, far from the chaos of civilization, this campsite offers a rejuvenating experience that feels like a breath of fresh air.

    From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the serene sounds of nature—the rustling leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the gentle flow of the Buffalo River nearby. With no cell service, it was liberating to disconnect from the digital world and immerse myself in the beauty around me.

    The campsite itself was impeccably maintained, with spacious sites that allowed for privacy and a true sense of seclusion. Each morning, I awoke to breathtaking sunrises that painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, a perfect start to a day filled with adventure.

    During my stay, I hiked along the winding trails, discovering hidden waterfalls and panoramic views that took my breath away. The evenings were spent gathered around the campfire, sharing stories and roasting marshmallows under a blanket of stars that seemed to shine brighter than ever.

    The lack of modern distractions was refreshing, allowing me to fully appreciate the simple pleasures of life—like the crackling fire and the warmth of good company. Whether you're an experienced camper or a beginner, this remote getaway is perfect for anyone looking to recharge and reconnect with nature.

    In summary, if you're seeking a peaceful retreat where you can truly escape the world, this camping spot is the best of the best. Pack your gear, leave your worries behind, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure in nature's embrace!

    Indian Creek Spot 5

    So first of all, we reserved spot 27. We have a 24’ Hideout. The loop that spot is on, if there was someone in spot 28, I would have had to back all the way out. That’s a hair pin turn. FWIW.

    Spot 5: just down from the hosts spot, but you can’t really see it and you don’t hear a thing. Secluded and very quiet. 3 min walk to some nice shores and great fishing spots from shore. Though the sunfish are smart here. lol.

    The bad. It’s a pull through spot on a hill. It’s hard(er) to keep your camper on the pavement. I had to use 3” on the outside to level the camper. I had to get the camper just right for the extension. Your steps from your camper go right into a rock slope that’s slick when wet.

    All in all not a big deal! This is a great quiet campground. The day use area wasn’t even used while we were here.

    The sites weren’t as clean as other campsites we’ve been too, Like Rocky Branch or Echo Bluff in Missouri.

    Spot 9 is primo if you can get it.

    Terrible Experience and Lack of Customer Service at Buffalo Outdoor Center

    I am extremely disappointed with our recent stay at Buffalo Outdoor Center RV Park in Ponca, Arkansas. After a 7.5-hour drive, we arrived on June 29, 2024, eager to enjoy a week-long stay. Unfortunately, our visit turned into a nightmare within just one hour of our arrival. While setting up our 5th wheel trailer, there was a loud pop followed by smoke pouring out of our TV. Thankfully, my husband was able to unplug it before our trailer caught fire. To our dismay, none of the outlets on one side of our trailer were working, and our TV, microwave, and fan were all fried and non-functional. We immediately contacted an employee who came to our site, inspected the outside meter post by looking at it, not testing it, and nonchalantly stated that since there was no smoke coming from it, the problem must be on our end. When my husband asked for immediate assistance, the employee told us we would have to wait two days, until Monday, and go to a nearby town to find someone to help us. This response was unacceptable and showed a complete lack of concern for our safety. Moreover, the employee had the audacity to shame us by asking if we had a GFI power surge protector plugged into the meter. None of the other RV sites had this, and in our 23+ years of camping, we have never encountered such an issue. Feeling unsafe and unsupported, we decided to pack up and drive the 7.5 hours back home, after being at the site for just one hour. The lack of assistance and options provided by the Buffalo Outdoor Center was disheartening, especially considering we were in a completely different state with no information on what we could do. Upon arriving home, we hooked up our camper at our local campground, and everything worked fine. We also went on another camping trip to a local RV campground, and again, everything worked perfectly. This clearly indicated that the surge was on Buffalo Outdoor Center's end. When we requested a refund, they refunded all but one day. This is unacceptable considering the distress, inconvenience, and financial loss we endured, including having to purchase a new TV, microwave, and fan. Our experience at Buffalo Outdoor Center RV Park was nothing short of a disaster. The lack of customer service, concern for our safety, and willingness to provide immediate assistance was appalling. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this RV park to anyone.

    Camping at our favorite fishing spot

    This campground was a great spot for our first family camping trip. We went with a group of 6 adults (my kid still played with bugs). The view from our site was pretty and we had great trees for hanging hammocks. The bathrooms were close and clean. The fishing wasn’t amazing on this trip but we caught our limit on our last day trip. Our only complaint was the closeness of neighboring sites and foot traffic on the road.

    Silver Dollar City Campground

    Quiet and Friendly

    We have always loved coming to the Silver Dollar City campgrounds. We have been doing this for over 10 years now. We usually stay in the cabins, and this is our first year taking our fifth wheel. I was worried about the height, clearance and trees since our RV is is over 13 ft tall and 45 ft long. The trees were well trimmed and I had no problem getting into our pull-through spot all the way in the back. The people here are always friendly and helpful. We love the quiet woods atmosphere. Great little playgrounds for the kids and the pool. The pull-through spot was a little uneven but not as bad as it looks. It would be nice if they were paved. It usually rains this time of year (May) and the unpaved spots can get a little messy in the rain. The pull-through spots are alternating so you are facing your neighbor's door and not their sewage. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. We always come here for the Bluegrass Festival at Silver Dollar City. The park is great and worth the season pass if you plan to go more than one day.

    Wasn't here for that long But will be back!

    We didn't stay for long only a few days.  But we have visited years ago and enjoyed the park.  

    We came back a little over a year ago and drove right back out.  Recently were told it had been purchased and the new owners were cleaning the place out so we decided to give it a shot with the family for a short visit to decide if we'd come back for a longer visit later.

    We had a great time!  The place has been fully overhauled.  

    They are still doing some odds and ends but it wasn't bothersome.  

    The new manager is fantastic. she was so nice and is constantly running around planting and making sure everyone is doing well. 

    There's a hand full of long term guests that remained and we were told that the new owners really cleaned out all of the problem guests making it such an enjoyable place for them that they want to do cook outs with the guests and meet new friends again.  

    They are really working hard on making this place a great place for families to to come and have a good time and the guests are really appreciating all they are doing.  

    Everyone we talked with was so happy to sit and chat and just get to know each other around the community fire pit.  

    So happy to not have to go back to the state park now that this place is on track to being the great place it once was.

    Love this campground

    Love the location and quiet comfort of this park.  It's close enough to all of the action but feels like you are light years away.  

    It's a perfect campground to have a fun family camp trip and enjoy the sights of Branson.  The owners are also wonderful!

    Definitely a great place to visit!

    So Thankful

    Was visiting my dad who stays in the park recently as a long term guest and have to say that they have done a lot the last few months under new management.  

    My dad's neighbors were not the nicest people and they had two large dogs they allowed to crap everywhere and would never clean up their area.  

    There were multiple complaints about the problem to the previous owners and nothing was done.  

    The new owners came in, in December and quickly cleared out the problem guests made everyone clean everything up and made the place back to its former glory.  

    They have also made it a point to personally know my elderly father and keep an eye on him for us so we know he is safe and being looked after while he enjoys the park with his dog.  

    They have made sure that the spaces are clean.  Got rid of the unsafe guests who decided to take the place over and have made it a safe beautiful spot to stay once again!

    So thankful they purchased the park and made it a safe and wonderful spot for the family to visit and a wonderful spot for my dad to enjoy his time.

    Can't thank them enough!

    Close enough to everything but far enough to feel outside of the commotion

    We have been coming to this park for years.  We did not stay here last couple of years due to the amount of Longterm campers that had trashed the place.  The new Owners have really cleaned up the park and gotten rid of so many of the problems that were bringing this once loved park down.  

    They have since cleaned up the park, gotten rid of the long term campers who were not friendly and were frankly scary.  They've implemented security and rules and hired a fantastic manager. 

    They have brought in new facility, renovated the office and community room and are adding new pads.  Added a new community fire pit and bbq area and have cook outs with the guests on weekends.  The handful of long term guests who have stayed are extremely friendly and love the changes that have happened.

    That is ultimately why we decided to give it another try and we are so glad we did!  

    So happy to have this once amazing park coming back to life.

    Turkey Creek RV Village

    Out dated and run down, unfriendly full time campers

    We thought we would change up from always going to Table Rock State Park. Boy were we wrong!!!!!! The RV lots are gravel/grass- no WIFI or cable. Most of the RV'ers are full timers, and they have the attitude that it's their park. And, if you encounter an incident with one of them- they all turn against your presents. Gray haired adolescence is what my wife calls them. Most sites have some tree cover but walnut trees will totally sap up your RV, not to mention the nuts when they fall. I would only recommend this place if your wallet is very tight. Table Rock Park is hands down better then this out dated and unfriendly rude group of full time campers.

    Revamping

    Park is definitely going through a revamp after the last few years under the old owners. 

    The new managers have cleaned up the park and made it a great place to hang out and meet new friends. We had a wonderful stay and met some great people we plan to reconnect with in the fall back at the park. 

     Can’t wait to see what they do with the place by then!
