    We had a great weekend at Rippling Waters!! Andy and Chrissie go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay! Cabins were clean and had everything we needed. And Between the beach, the playground and the game room there was plenty to keep the kids busy.

    Some enjoyable kayaking!

    Great family resort! Right on the water with docks and a beach area. Right by hiking trails too

    Great hiking areas, creek access for wading. Great family and picnic area. Gun range on the west…read moreside along with my favorite trails, Purple, Orange and White. Great switchback trails and four season hiking and trail running. Horses are allowed also, so keep your eyes open. Always be prepared with water and bug spray!

    I visited Busiek for the first time this past weekend and in regard to the scenery, all I can…read morereally say is 'Wow.' If you're a fan of hiking, horse back riding, or pretty intense mountain biking, this is a fantastic place to visit on a beautiful seasonal day. You can do any of the above-mentioned activities on Busiek's lengthy trails, which range from flat and grassy to rocky and winding. All of it is stunning and serenly quiet. Things you should know about Busiek: there are no bathrooms, unless you count the ground. Speaking of using the ground as a bathroom - there is horse poop, so watch your step. Finally, there's a shooting range where the trails meet near the parking lot, so take that into consideration if any of your camp has an aversion to loud noises or if your animals are easily spooked. The pops of gunfire do dissipate after a few yards in the woods, though. I'll let the pictures I added speak for themselves, but if you come here when the leaves are changing, you'll be reminded why the Ozarks is actually a very lovely place to live. Truly, Busiek is about as good as it gets (and worthy of five stars) if what you're looking for is a date with nature. A note on kids: I'm not a parent, but I'd be willing to bet this wouldn't be a good place for tots or even youngsters because it's unmanned and can get very tiring, especially as the elevation rises.
