Be aware there will be ENORMOUS amounts of traffic if you plan on being there over a holiday weekend. During the week it's not quite as bad. We visit there at least three time a year and stay at Turkey Creek, which is an Escapee park in Hollister less than a 1/4 mile from downtown Branson. While in Branson, be sure to spend a day or two at Silver Dollar City.
