Unique campsites

Staying in C loop and here are some tips. If you want starlink, stay toward the entrance of the loop for a good view of the sky. If you want to be away from everyone and don't need a site that has good accessibility, stay in C27. You park at the top of the site and walk your tent and gear down a small slope where you can set up your tent. A little further down is a large-ish area with a fire pit and table. You can't see the roady from there and it looks like a great place to get away from it all! 

Other sites around C27 have similar set-ups but not so far off the road.

My first TT stay and it's better than expcted

This was my first stay at any TT campground and I wasn't sure what to expect with this campground as the reviews are so mixed. While I don't have other TT campgrounds to compare this to, I do have a lot of experience in state parks and private campgrounds. If you are looking for an RV resort-type place, this isn't it. If you are looking for a CAMPground, this is a wonderful place! The grounds are well-kept and the bathrooms are clean. Th campground itself is pretty quiet, although there is some noise by the playground. Once school is out, I'm sure it will be busier.

The only problem I had was that my Starlink didn't work at the first site (372 - full hookup) but they let me choose another site (435 - no sewer) and I was happy as a clam. Oh yea, the sewer connection in 372 ran uphill for me, but my pipe sits very low.

Great place to get away from it all

Upside: I loved this place! It was beautiful and peaceful. If you want to get away, this is the place. It's got full hook-ups, although there was a boil your drinking water notice on each campsite when I visited. The sites are rustic but look like they are well cared for.

Downside: No cell service at all. Also could not get Starlink to work due to the very tall pines. 

I will be back when I don't have to work all week!

Quiet and peaceful campground

We stayed here for four nights starting with the Monday holiday. It was quiet, peaceful and everyone was super friendly. The sunsets were amazing! Get a lakeside site if you can for the most spectacular views. 

I thought I saw on their website that they had laundry facilities, but no, just a room with plumbing that should go to machines. No worries though, the wash can wait! 

Take a walk over to the dam breast. You can walk to Florida and back :)

Beautiful and relaxing

Stayed for 14 days. The weekends were fuller but still pretty quiet. During the week there were just enough people for it not to feel creepily lonely. The lake was beautiful and we hiked a few of the trails that go near/around it. I liked that it was a no-wake lake. It didn't have that crazy motor boat and jet skis everywhere feel.

The campsite itself was at the bottom of two hills and much damper than the surrounding areas. That meant lots of mosquitos! No grass on this site, but the ones with higher numbers have lots of grass and running around room for kids. 

So nice, though I wish we could have stayed longer!

Whitetail Campground

I stayed in Whitetail Campground for a few days. It was very quiet, especially during the week, and secluded. I stayed in site 63, a back-in site with electricity that is shared with another campsite. This required some re-adjustment to my rig to reach it with the 30-foot cord that I have. Luckily, no one was at the other site. Water and a pit toilet are available, but no hookups at the Whitetail sites. Showers, and filling/dump stations are in the Great Falls area. I'm not complaining; I just wasn't as prepared as I should have been.

Nice and quiet

It’s the middle of week and it’s very quiet here at GV10. The site backs up to the woods but our picnic table side faces the road. The road gets traffic and some noise but it’s not too bad. The lower numbered sites (1.2.3) are better if that bothers you. Toilets at Gopher Valley and showers are at Eagle Bluff campground just across the way. Overall, we’ve got everything we need here except maybe a few trees between the road and us :)

Nice, but on the Interstate

Cute little campground that works be greatly improved by being further away from the interstate. First though, the two women at the front desk were very friendly and helpful! The bathrooms were clean and it looked like it would be a fun place to stay for awhile, especially if you have bigger kids. There's big trikes to ride, a playground, and a basketball net.

We stayed in one of two cabins that helped to muffle the rumble of the trucks outside. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it's really loud as the campground borders the frontage road. I would not attempt it if I were in a tent. Of you have a camper and are a deep sleeper, go for it.

Wish we could have stayed longer

Stayed here for an overnight on a cross country trip. It's a beautiful park that was only about half full. We had a big campsite and the entire tent area mostly to ourselves. They was one other party six sites up from us.

Our site wasn't the most level but it worked. I would probably pick a slightly higher number or one with electric even if we didn't need it because they're more level.

Being from out of the region, we were surprised by the number of earwigs, but that's nature, right?

We definitely want to make our way back here for a longer stay.

Beautiful lake views

I stayed for two nights in Site 3 which is a walk-in site on the inside of the little bay and on the opposite side of most of the other sites. All the spaces on this sites are not only spaced apart, but are also staggered so you're never right up against another group.

A couple of things to know though. In the fall, the burrs are bad. All the poor puppies were hobbling around :(  I ended up bringing some home with me, too. Second, I only went into the nearest bathroom - the picnic area bathrooms and if these are cleaner than the others, that's a problem. They were in definitely in need of maintenance - running toilets, rusty, dirty spigots and floors. There's also highway noise at night if you're a light sleeper.

Overall, I really enjoyed camping here and will definitely will be back.

Great location but not for tents

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.
