The Ozark Mountains’ entertainment capital offers on- and off-the-water fun for RVers.
Set on US Highway 65 about an hour south of Springfield, Missouri, and 15 minutes north of the Arkansas border, Branson has been a popular RV destination for decades due to its family-friendly outdoor attractions and old-timey country music scene. Off the so-called "Strip," aka Route 76, the main attractions are Silver Dollar City theme park, Branson Landing shopping and dining venue on Lake Taneycomo, and Table Rock Lake, a sprawling body of water with multiple opportunities for fishing, boating, water sports, swimming, and even cliff jumping, plus Table Rock State Park. Ramps are available for those with their own boats—check out Kimberling City Marina and Indian Point Marina. RV parks typically feature full hookups, picnic tables, and other amenities such as fire pits. Branson bustles in summer, so be prepared for traffic and book your RV site in advance. Fall is a lovely time to be at the lake without the crowds.
