Americas Best Campground - Branson, MO

[twiceblessed....nacole 433]

Property was close to town, which was very convenient.  Sites were close together, but they were all pull through... most were level.  What I didn't care for, was the placement of your neighbor's sewer/utility hook-ups:  right next to your picnic table.  Ewe!  Yes, you can move the table...put there is a small cement slab at each site that is designed for your front door and the table, which means that you have to move the table off that in order to get away from the sewer connection.  Bad placement.

Staff was decent (we found the guys on the grounds to be very nice, office staff okay).  The bathhouse was very cleaned and had music playing which I thought was funny :)   Country music.  I did not use the showers, but Tom did.  He had a problem with the water being consistent, so it would freeze one moment and scald him the next. Small but nice playground.  Small but well kept pool.  Grounds themselves were decent, but (for whatever reason) several guests were very messy (I mean...trash ALL over their site).  I know you cannot control this as a CG owner (or maybe you can), but off all our trips... this is the most I've seen.  Property was quiet, I don't remember a lot of noise. Probably 70% full over Memorial Day weekend.  Verizon reception good. Cable channels (it's a full hook-up property) poor.

Yuk!  We generally don't use the picnic table, but if I did I would want to move it and then disinfect it.  I also don't want my door facing someone's sewer.  Sitting outside under the awning early morning enjoying my coffee and staring at the neighbor's sewer ... not an appetizing way to start the day.

I have to agree with you.  It was the one major downfall to the property.

I really liked it!  If you've ever been to Pigeon Forge, it has a similar feel.. but it's larger and the terrain is more hilly.   It's very, very pretty there and there are a TON of shows to see.  Sadly, we only had 3.5 days there and we had met my folks (whom we generally only get to see once a year  ), so we didn't want to spend time in the shows.  We did see one animal act that was pretty cute and spent the better part of a day at Silver Dollar (amusement park) which was very nice (clean, strong values, family atmosphere).  My folks got there a couple of days before we could and stayed one day later and I know that, in that time, that saw two shows (I remember one was called SIX) and a boat cruise/dinner.... all of which they really, really enjoyed.

 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Actually we go about once a year, we only live about 4 1/2 hour drive from there. Was the animal show at the Grandcountry in? The hotel that has the giant banjo sticking out of it  and the indoor waterpark.

Oh... that's nice to be so close :)    Yes (Grand Country) that sounds right.  I don't remmeber the water park, but I do remember a restaurant inside (we ate brunch there, I thought that was just okay) and indoor putt-putt.

We watch the pet show all the time. DD makes us. Lol.   The restaurant has a good breakfast but I agree the lunch and dinner buffet could use some help.  The indoor waterpatk is great. We like to go during the colder months. It's like a little beach vaca in Missouri. Lol.

I'll have to keep the water park in mind, if we make a trip back :)

There was another place that looked nice... I'll try to remember the name.

Nacole thanks for the heads up where to try and stay, Americas best Campground is listed as a place to stay with the big rig set up we have and now are just trying to plan what dates to go, thanks again for the info.
