- kiloo9ExplorerThanks my friends!! What great information you guys provided, we will be doing our homework, since there are three of us going, we got some planning to do. Houston Tx to Branson MO, about a 12 hour drive probably do one stop some where on the way up there.
Have a great day and happy Rving!
José - Ron8877ExplorerSince the campground that I was at closed I would suggest Tall Pines. The owner is a real nice guy. I never went by ABC so I can't comment on it. If you are a SKP member Turkey Creek is in Hollister and looked nice. The city Park by the bridge is also nice. If you are a Passport America member there are several parks that give you a good discount. If you aren't a member depending on how many nights you can use it it will pay for itself quickly. At the campground that we were at you could stay for a week. Just do the math. As someone else said Treasure Lake is a great campground and they are a RPI campground so it only costs you $10 a night a great deal. I also think that a month would be a good amount of time to spend in Branson as there is so much to see. A hint if you want discount tickets to things go to Branson 2 for 1. They sell half price tickets and you don't have to go to any time share presentations. If you don't mind the presentations you can get all sorts of free tickets. Also the Branson Guest Card is pretty handy to have. It costs $20 but has discounts all over town. Then if you like Golden Correl they have a free show by Barbara Fairchild Tuesdays through Saturdays at 6 pm. It goes until 7 so you could go to another show afterwards if you want. This show is by donation only so you can pay whatever you feel like paying. I would also recommend The Three Redneck Tenors. Their show is very funny in the first half and great classical singing in the second half. The Dixie Stampede is another good show. We enjoyed it the times that we saw it. If you want to go to a church service a lot of the theaters have free Sunday morning shows. If you want a regular church I liked Friendly Baptist. They are between Hwy 76 and Hwy 265 just off of Hwy 376. I would not recommend taking your rig on that road as it has a 19 percent grade on one end and about a 12 percent grade on the other end. Have fun and enjoy yourself. If you have any questions you can pm me and I will get back to you. I loved Branson but now we are working for Amazon in Kansas so we are gone from there.
Ron - sp8goldExplorerWe always use Compton Ridge. Several sites that fit our 42' with tow. Lots of shade if desired. comptonridge.com is the web site.
- pusherpilotExplorerYou won't have any trouble getting into most of the parks with a 36' MH. Suggest you decide if you want close in city or rustic country sites. Branson City runs a CG right on Lake Taneycomo where 76 goes over the lake with fishing floats and shuttle to the landing.
It's good that you're staying for a week, when we first visited here we were full timers and checked in to ABC for two days. We liked the area so we wound up there a week. After a few months we went back and bought a lot in Hollister then built a cabin where we park some of the time. You should do a lot of exploring the area and seeing the shows. Since you're spending the time you shouldn't have to get in hurry-up mode to see the area and attractions. I strongly suggest that you visit Silver Dollar City for a day. We hold season passes and visit 4-5 times a year.

We also stayed at ABC. We also rented a car at Enterprise and it worked out fine. They picked us up and dropped us back off at our unit at the end of the rental. It made for a very fun week of entertainment and very low stress. - JaBobExplorerWe stayed at ABC and would do so again. Its tight, clean and has a friendly staff.
Bob - Dick_BExplorerDid you search for Branson in the RV Parks section? 18 miles out of town is a LONG ride considering the type of roads around Branson. ABC gets high marks.
- leaddogExplorerWe either stay at Old 86 COE park (if open) or Oak Grove Rv park. The COE park is on the south side of the lake and about a 18 mile drive to Branson. Oak Grove Rv park is right downtown and convenient to everything. It's a small park with 60 sites more or less. They don't have a number of facilites, but it's a great place to park downtown.
Oak Grove Rv park
