Walking in Branson
We would like to see the show Six in Branson. It is at the Mickey Gilley theater. Are there any campgrounds in walking distance to the theater?
Forum Discussion
- We stayed at Branson Musicland CG in April, and we were able to walk to quite a few restaurants and attractions. I don't recall the specific theater you mentioned, but I can say that BMCG was pretty nice with friendly staff and clean facilities. We loved the location and even extended our stay by one day.
- I was thinking, and I could be wrong, but "Pea Patch" CG is right behind a store/restaurant on Route 76? It would save that walk up the hill from Music Land?
- As has been said, your best bet is Misicland Kampground right behind the Titanic. Nice campground and half a block from the strip.
- "SIX" is a Great show and as others have said, there is a CG across the street near the intersection of 76/65 routes. We were just there for a month, 21 shows in 30 days and all Excellent!
- And that KOA is only about 1-1/2 miles from the SIX theater.
Edit: I should have mentioned that Branson is just not a walking town. We got a ride back with friends that didn't know we walked there.
Matt - We stayed at the KOA and took their shuttle to all the shows. They picked us up at our site, took us to the show, picked us up afterwards and brought us right back to our site. Rain was pouring down and I was very glad that we didn't walk.
Hope this helps.
John - We frequent Branson but I'm not the last word on this. Walking is always available to you but be advised you may not always have a sidewalk. If you have daylight it's less of a concern.
- I agree you could walk from Musicland to the Gilley theater thru the back parking lot. Not real far. And not necessarily an easy walk. And not something to do in bad weather. There is a sidewalk along Gretna.
- Actually, if you cut across the parking lot, Branson Musicland Campground is within walking distance. Might want to look at it on Google Earth, and make reservations ahead of time. It was hit quite hard by the tornado several years ago, but appears to have been restored very well.
- Just remember that in Branson, "two miles" is at least one mile uphill, one mile downhill, both directions.
