Came here with kids and a couple dogs week of Thanksgiving. Apparently it's the office season so we had the place to ourselves. Cabins seem brand new and we're immaculate. 20 minutes outside Branson, easy drive to town. Checked in after hours, the caretakers were awesome and worked with us. I can tell that in the Summer this place would be awesome. Huge pool and all kinds of stuff for the kids to do. Navigating the park at night using the map was a bot challenging at dark lol bit we figured it out. We will for sure be back!!

So I've been here several times but only on a day pass to enjoy the pools, activities, showers and laundry facility. They did a amazing job remodeling this location, it has something for everybody and is pet friendly. They have cabins w/multiple amenities depending on what you need, RV lots, Clamping and I believe just empty camp spots. It is gated for everyone's safety and security, nice lil store at the front where you check in that you can find minor necessities and gift items or pet supplies. They have a ice cream shop, several pools, foaming slip-n-slide, pavilions where you can gather a good size family, multiple shower areas, along with a laundry facility. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.... Great camp spot or somewhere to enjoy the outdoors for the day!! Go check it out....

Stayed in the covered wagon with my son who turned 9 this weekend. We had the best time! I want to mention there is a bathroom with a decent size shower so you won't have to walk to the bathhouse but if you have to use it while you're out and about they are very clean and very nice. All staff were extremely friendly. They had events going on all day and they were all so fun. Great music & fun hayrides. The people staying here this past weekend were so friendly! All the kids were playing on the jumping pillow since the Wibit and pools were closed. Thankfully the store had 50% because it was really cold Saturday morning so I was able to by a long sleeve to wear until the sun came out. My son LOVED the haunted trail and the biscuits & gravy. Next time we come we will get a golf cart and stay in the covered tents. They were across from us and looked really cool! 10/10 recommend this place and we cannot wait to go back and bring friends with us!

Just spent a terrific weekend with 10 family members! This is our 3rd year at this location, and the campground just keeps getting better and better! We were all very impressed with all the changes made since last year! The activities were great and the staff couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating (especially Tiffany and Lauren in the office, who put up with my last minute requests and made everything work for our large group)! We look forward to our next visit here, and are talking about trying out the covered wagons next time😁. Great place for a large family get together!!!

This was our first time experiencing Great Escapes and we had a great stay! All staff was friendly and helpful from check-in to the cafe to the activities helpers. Our cabin was super clean and came furnished with all the linens and dishes needed throughout the weekend. Activities kept my kids happy and entertained the whole weekend. My kids range from 6-12, so I was worried, but each kid kept saying how much fun they were having, and are begging to come back! HIGHLY recommended Great Escapes Branson!
