7mi from Branson · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Forsyth, MO

Edgewater Beach Resort is a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. There are 2 RV sites at Edgewater that are located just a few feet from the water's edge. Lake Taneycomo is a cold- water lake that is famous for trout fishing. The resort has 3 docks that you can fish off of. You can also fish anywhere along the water's edge. Each RV site has water, sewer, and electric hookups, wifi, a private picnic table, and a private firepit/ grill. The sites are separated by a privacy fence for the utmost privacy. The resort has boat rentals, a fish cleaning station, an outdoor pool that is open from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend, a playground, and a laundry room. I also have boat slips available to rent for $20 a night. The resort is next to Empire Park which has lots of fishing spots, a playground, a disc golf course, and walking trails. The resort is 16 miles from The Branson Landing. You can get there by car or boat. Ask me about adding a boat slip to your reservation or about getting a discount for a long-term stay. I offer a 25% discount for stays of a month or more. Here is the link for boat rentals at the resort: https://www.boatsetter.com/users/wjplgnl We stay open all year round! Please note, the water spigots at the RV sites can't be turned on if the outdoor temperature is below freezing. *Lake Taneycomo will look different based on the seasons, weather, and the flow of water in the lake. It is common to see a large amount of duckweed in the lake, especially in the coves, during periods of high heat. It isn't attractive, but it is harmless. The maintenance crew at the resort constantly works to keep the coves looking as nice as possible, but it is a natural body of water, so there's only so much that can be done.*

Weekend Trip to Riverdream Camps

This was our second stay at Riverdream, and we love it! Beautiful sky without light pollution, no noise from traffic or what I guess you'd call "city life." My husband & I stayed in a tent both trips, and we were comfortable in each site. Toilet/showers are extremely clean and always stocked. Water flow and temperature is great. Kings River is a short mosey away from camp. Berryville on one side, Eureka Springs on the other. The Hosts have always been kind and quick to assist when we needed it. Their land is perfect for a quick weekend getaway, or a lengthy stay. (You won't regret either one.)

Weekend Trip to Happy Hippy Acres Wooded Wonderland

Such a great spot! We had a group in Site 2 and there was plenty of room for multiple tents. We went in the fall so the creek was dry but I can’t wait to come back and explore more in the Spring Jill was a great host - met us when we got there to make sure we had what we needed! I hope to be back someday ski !

We absolutely loved camping here!! This place is magical! Heidi is amazing, the land is so beautiful and everything was so clean. I absolutely loved the dogs roaming around and how the walkways on the meditation trail were covered with moss!! Definitely will stay here again!

Site #1 complete with bathroom tent, picnic table, and 5 gallon water jug.

Weekend Trip to Happy Hippy Acres Wooded Wonderland

We got there shortly after sunset, but we were able to find the site, no problem! Usually you expect to orangutan hang off a tree and aim for a hole when camping, but they provide a luxury private bucket toilet experience, 10/10. Our only regret was not seeing the note about exploring the old logging trails before we left for a different hike. Check under the water jug! A bunch of cute mushrooms around the site too. Also a great site for bird watching!

I absolutely loved staying in the container tiny home. I loved that each campsite was pretty private! Mizzy was the absolute best host. I sure hated to leave and cannot wait to come back. The container was decorated so cute!! You can definitely tell this was a labor of love.

Weekend Trip to Enchanted Ozark Fairytale Camp

We had a wonderful stay at Enchantment Ozark Fairy Tale camp. The property is remote while only being a short distance from town. The sites are well spaced so even if you have neighbors you still have plenty of privacy. Mizzy was very friendly and helpful with check in and answering any questions we had. She brought a rake to clear up all the walnuts that had fallen from the tree so we would have a flat and smooth spot for our tent. She also brought us a trash can to use. The best part was how quiet and peaceful the whole area was. She is blessed to own such a beautiful piece of property and we're thankful that she shares it with campers like us. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Not only is the location perfect, scenery beautiful, and very secluded, but the hosts are great. We had a flat tire and didn't realize it until the next morning. Jerry came out, aired up the tire so we could move to flat ground, and helped get the spare on. Will 1000% be coming back (for a third time haha)

Mizzy is great, she's got a strong free-spirited vibe but that doesn't mean she's all laissez-faire, she's got a strong spine and I bet she's happy to put people in line if they screw around. Not only does she care about her land, she cares about the people that spend time there, and is trying to create a place of peace in the world (and not just for you, dear reader). She deserves each of her 5 stars.

Luke was super fast in responding and very friendly when we got there. Be aware that you are in his backyard in town. But he had a tall fence around it and a pretty, central fire area. We would absolutely stay there again!

Great communication from host Luke. Spacious land. Watch for curiously friendly roosters/chickens. ☺️ I was there for just a quick overnight so did not partake in making a fire with complementary wood. Would definitely stay again. Cheers

There aren’t enough stars in the sky for me to give to this stay! Mizzy is a wonderful “fairy camp mother” and the experiences were beyond description! Love the peace and quiet for reflection and even more so the ability to completely unplug from the world and just be one with nature. If you’re looking for the best and most relaxing time, this is the place!

My husband and I just spent a week camping at this incredible spot run by the one and only Mizzy, a true hippie fairy godmother, who has created something magical here. We stayed in the Meadows camping spot and it was absolute perfection. From the peaceful setting to the whimsical touches everywhere, it felt like stepping into another world. We only wish we could have stayed longer! It’s a place that fills your heart and soul with calm and joy. Perfect for couples looking to unwind or families with young kids who want to explore and play freely. Can’t wait to go back! 🌿💫

This site currently has a shade cover and camp chair, generously donated by a previous camper. There's still plenty of room for a large tent.

Weekend Trip to Open-air Meditation Sanctuary

Perfect place to watch the sunset and view a starry sky. Plenty of firewood for the fire pits due to the generous and kind stewards of this amazing space. It's relatively quiet, even with other guests dotted around nearby. The privacy of landscape and bamboo thatch is thoughtfully done and makes you feel safely secluded . They really understand community living and the conscientiousness shows even with their hot tub setup. I would say that it's trauma-conscious because the guest instructions show intention they built in lights and strategic plantings and fencing making sure that privacy was a main feature. A safe container to rest, restore, and commune with nature. Sacred land that's well tended and naturally enhanced with the meditation path.

I loved my stay in Mizzy’s camp. She was cheerful and helpful. The property was enchanting with all of the whimsical touches throughout. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area. This was my first time solo car camping and I felt completely safe.
