This is an excellent activity to do in Branson away from all the cheesy shows giving you a chance…read moreto enjoy some of the regional wines and a historic distillery while taking in the sites. Tour is very well organized. The Bear Creek Winery is in an amazing location with great views from the deck. Driver was very friendly although I'd recommend being proactive about asking questions about the area as the tasting and dinner is the focus, this isn't a sightseeing tour per se outside the 4 stops. Dinner was downtown in the new area of Branson and food and service were good but not "gourmet" about what you'd expect as this isn't a foodie tour. You have a choice of chicken, steak, or salmon. Given the reasonable price for the whole experience though, if you are a steak connoisseur I'd skip the steak, not bad at all, but the Salmon and Chicken are in my opinion better options if you are finicky about your steak.

We had 9 people to tour the second weekend in December. They were able to get us a driver and van…read morebut had to pay for a private tour due to our group size. For the price (just under $700) the tour was not worth it. A lot of lights were out during our drive thru at Great Wolf Lodge. We then went through the Joy lights that were pirate themed. Not impressed with either display. At one of the gingerbread stops, our group went to grab some waters/soda, when I informed our driver, she said she had bottled water the whole time. On our way back to our drop off location, we experienced a blown tire. Our driver tried contacting her company and she said no one would answer her. I ended up texting the owner informing him that we were on the side of the road with a flat and no one would answer to help her. I received no response but moments after the texts were sent, our driver received a phone call. My husband and brother in law ended up changing the tire so we could be on our way. Our driver told us the owner would be in contact to "take care of the incident and help she received from our group". A week after the tour, I had to reach out to the company because I did not hear from them. The owner Joe called and had a list of excuses as to why he didn't reach out. He also told me that when he received word of us on the side of the road, he had to step out of a show he was viewing while on vacation with his wife. He told me he fired our driver and she had our contact information. He didn't want to tell me how much he would refund so he didn't insult us. he wanted us to tell him how much we wanted. After discussing with our group, we decided on a reimbursement amount and I texted Joe (the owner). We came upon an amount by saving someone from changing the tire and also not missing our driver's second tour that evening. My second text was to confirm he could just refund my credit card and not mail a check and he said yes. Another week goes by with no credit card refund. I texted the owner again and he finally says he can't refund us the amount we decided on but could give us half of what we requested. He'd also refund us our credit card fee. When I asked if he had my card info, he said yes from our initial registration. Ironic that he now has my info but didn't when it came time to reach out to us initially. If you do utilize this company, hopefully everything goes smoothly so you don't have to deal with the owner to settle things. Good luck!

I would rate State Park Marina a 10 out of 5!…read more We rented a pontoon boat for 6 hours during our family vacation, and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff was VERY friendly, helpful, and informative from start to finish. The check-in process was so easy, and they did a great job making sure we didn't spend our vacation waiting around. The pontoon boat was clean, comfortable, and the tube worked perfectly for the kids. Everyone had such a great time on the water! This was our second time renting a boat from State Park Marina, and both experiences have been amazing. We truly have no complaints. The staff is awesome and goes above and beyond to make sure families have a great experience. Highly recommend State Park Marina if you're looking for a fun day on the lake!

Wonderful experience for the family. They have everything you need for a successful fishing trip…read more Boat, pole rentals, and temporary fishing licenses were very reasonable and worked great. They also have fish cleaning stations w/ knives and folks that can help. Lisa thoughtfully helped us from patiently answering our questions over the phone to helping outfit us with all the right tackle. Derek was the very kind dock boss who explained all the ins and outs of boating this lake/river. He also provided backup equipment, including rod & reel which ended up being used since we snagged a log that took hook and all our line. Bathrooms (two) are to the right of front door and were kept clean. Wonderful time, caught five beautiful rainbow trout.

It is very safe, so I never hesitate to let the kids run and play, giving my husband and I time to relax at the site. It is worth noting, this used to be a Jellystone, which we frequented A LOT. There was a year or two they were switching over to Great Escapes and needed a little patience, but this year was phenomenal and they definitely have their processes down. The cafe has some great food, so no need to ever leave. They even have sites with dog pens available, and a dog park. This makes a difference because I have one dog that doesn't like to potty while leashed. We always stay at least once in the summer to use the wibit and pools, then again in October to participate in the fun Halloween activities they always host. This year they had the hay ride with magic pumpkin patch, the Halloween crafts throughout the day, then the costume contest and trick-or-treating that evening. They even do a site decorating contest. This year the local Taney County 100 Club hosted a chili cookoff, so all campers got to participate in this and try all the different chilis and vote, while helping out a good cause. The kids also got to see the firetruck and ambulance. We were hesitant at first because we really loved the previous owners of the Jellystone. But the new managers have really grown on us and so have all of their staff! This campground is definitely at the top of our list!

I wish I could give this place more stars... the staff was friendly. The amenities were nice…read more There was a playground, in ground bounce pillow and two pools. This place is formerly a jellystone park. We have jellystone's and visit them in Texas a lot and they are packed. Filled with kids, super lively. Activities every hour, on the hour so we can spend the whole day at the campground doing different activities. This is what we expected I guess from the campground. First, on May 26 I cancelled a RV spot we had reserved and paid for in full. Our RV had been totaled in a tornado. Instead, we joined other family members in a cabin and upgraded their cabin to fit us all. The prices were cheaper than jellystone's, so this was a nice perk we were excited about. 1st call: I was told my reservation was cancelled and refunded. 2nd call (a week before our visit): I was told the refund was actually never processed and they did it and I should have it shortly. 3rd call (day before arrival): I was told they switched to a new system and refunds were having issues and we were one of the families with the reported issues and "someone would call me with an update shortly." I also purchased early check in since we were driving 10 hours through the night and would be there at 8 AM. I confirmed what time early check in started and was told 8 AM. I show up the next morning at 8:30 AM and main office is closed with a sign saying office is at the pool. I walk to the pool, they are closed as well. I call to ask how to do my early check in and I'm told they open at 9:00 AM and if my info wasn't left in the after hours check in box I would need to wait. This was my first complaint. So, so tired.. with a car full of kids and dogs. All I wanted to do was get into my cabin and rest. We ended up waiting. I checked in, but the man at the front didn't know where our information was and though he was very friendly, it just wasnt very smooth. A lady (the man's wife) showed up and checked us in and I asked again about my refund. She said she would process it. It showed up on our bank account then the transaction fell off. We spent the whole trip checking with her and our bank on this refund. We left, still no refund so far. We drove to our cabin and as we showed up a maintenance man showed up before us and rushed into our cabin before us. We were a bit uncomfortable not knowing if we should go in or wait, so we stayed outside and waited. He came out and while he was friendly, again, seemed a bit unprofessional and scattered. Shouldn't this have been done before we checked in? The cabin is new but BEWARE - The bunk beds and the futon are hands down the most uncomfortable beds I have EVER slept in. I suffer from RA and these beds left me nearly paralyzed each morning as it took me extra long to warm up my joints enough to move around after these nightmare mattresses. The air conditioners were nice and worked well. The tv's are not connected to even basic television so we weren't able to watch tv in the evenings or early mornings. The internet did not reach our cabin. Seemed there was more staff who lived there and seasonal residents than visitors. Overall, we enjoyed there being no additional charge for pets. The staff were friendly. This place just needs to work on their business practices and professionalism, everything seemed a bit scattered and disorganized.

This campground was conveniently located on Indian Point near SDC. We didn't go to the theme park,…read morebut for sake of knowledge. There are many spots and some have electric while others have both electric and water. The spots are for varying size trailers/RVs or tent camping. They're spaced nicely so you have a little privacy. It's absolutely beautifully. I felt like I was in a rainforest. Although we had some on and off rain... the campground is very much in nature, green, lots of trees and waking up to birds chirping was lovely! I will say, there were some disrespectful neighbors camping, which can be expected, that stayed up until 3 am partying, loud music, drinking, etc. I think the park host paid them a visit and it was much quieter after 10pm. The bathrooms are also available with private toilet and shower combos. I will say... they were quite disgusting. Constantly wet and humid inside from the showers, visible mold on the walls and ceiling and rust and corrosion at the base of the doors. I had brought my own portable potty and small shower tent, but was informed that was against campground policy and told to take it down. Other than that, it was great. Has a playground, nice walking, beach, and close to some markets and restaurants.

The Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail has been on my Branson bucket list for a while, and I'm so glad…read morewe finally got to experience it! You drive your own golf cart along the trail, and we took turns driving as we made our way through the woods, past waterfalls, and eventually into the cave. One of the most unique parts is the Bat Bar inside the cave! Our admission included a drink token, so we pulled the golf cart right up to the cave bar window, grabbed a drink, and continued along the trail. The entire route is clearly marked, so you just follow the path and enjoy the scenery along the way. The golf cart ride itself is a huge part of the experience and made the admission price feel worth it to us. Such a fun and unique way to experience the Ozarks, and definitely one of my favorite things we did in Branson!
