Greetings All,
We are planning to go through Branson on our way North and would like to get a couple of recommendations on the most favorable RV campground there.
Thanks

The KOA, where we had the Rally last year, was centrally located. They had just bought it and were making what seemed to be good improvements. ABC campground is also popular.

We are also liiking for a CG around branson. We will be there around the first week of June.

We've stayed at Silver Dollar City CG and it's nice. We loved the trolly that would carry you to Silver Dollar City amusement park. It's like going back to 1880.
Worked for us.

We stayed at the Branson Stagecoach RV park 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. Below is a link to their site.

It has a lot trees and is close to Table Rock Lake.

While not a great fan of KOA in general the one in Branson is a good one and is close to the action. We also like to stay at ABC. It is alittle farther out but is quiet and it is easy to get to places of interest from the CG.

We have stayed at several campgrounds in the Branson area and our favorite is the KOA. Also, don't miss the Hard Luck Cafe. The gals/guys there sing to you has you eat. Very reasonable for the food and the entertainment is FREE!

The KOA is a good one for us also. Plenty of space and easy to get around.

Stayed at the Stagecoach campground last November, about 5 miles off the main strip just across Table Rock Dam. Nothing fancy but wide sites, WiFi and cable worked great and Passport America park, owners were excellent. KOA was closer in and looked OK.

We stayed at Cooper Creek last Memorial day. Nice, quiet, on the lake and convenient to town.

We highly recommend the Ozark Country campground. It's a passport cg and we were able to use it
for the entire month.

I would also recommend the Ozark Country Campground. We stayed there last November and would definitely go back there again. We are not Passport America members, so it was our choice as regular campers.

Here is a photo of our campsite there in November. It was private and had a wooded view behind us. A large open area was in front of our site which made it great for our dog.

Coming from San Antonio, can anyone tell me the best road to take to go to Branson, I dont want to white knuckle it.thanks,

Well, here is one possibility (especially if you want to avoid the DFW area entirely:

Just north of Austin you could take US 79 north all the way to Henderson, Texas. At Henderson you could take US 259 all the way to it's junction with US 59 in Oklahoma. This route up through extreme eastern Oklahoma though the Ouachita Mountains is a very nice drive. We take it all the time. Near Poteau, OK take OK 112 to it's junction with I-540 which is a great by-pass of Ft. Smith, ARK. At Alma, Ark I-540 continues to Fayetteville, AR. This is a totally modern full freeway route through the Boston Mountains. At Fayetteville, you could take ARK 45 until you pick up US 412 East--from there the route becomes obvious.

I just offer this as one possibility. It is more obvious to me because our little town in located right on US 259 between Longview and Daingerfield. The advantages are avoiding DFW and the best route through Ft. Smith and on to Fayetteville.

There are many good RV parks along the route.

We stayed with friends in a condo so can't help out with the RV Park suggestions. I can give you some tips on things to do if you want them.
