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.*

Float, Fish, Swim or vacation in the Ozarks. We have approximately 3 acers of the 15 we own set aside for camping. Plenty of room for two campsites on cleared, level land adjacent to the James River. Best suited for tent or small campers. We offer firewood, a port a potty, a dumpsite for holding tanks, water from our well to fill your water tank and electricity to charge devices and RV batteries at my barn. Generator rental available on a first reserve, first serve basis. Located about halfway between Springfield, MO. and Branson, MO. Nearby attractions include trout fishing, and a mountain bike park.
Please note, This campground is located in a floodplain and weather related cancellations are common.
Fish, Fish, Fish. This river is primed for fishing. You will have to bring your own boat, or float as I don't have good river bank fishing access. I added a small floating dock last year to fish or swim off of. There is a state park boat ramp a short distance away. The steps in the photos are plenty sturdy to tie boats to overnight. This river is fishable with flat bottom jet drive boats most of the spring and early summer and floatable year round. You can float to your campsite and relax instead of waiting in line at the boat ramp.
Also we are located about 13 miles from Crane Creek, A blue ribbon trout park. You can camp here and fish there.

Loved tent camping here! The site and entire property was SO well maintained. The platform, the picnic table, the fire pit, the outhouse, and the trails around the property were very clearly so cared for. We loved hiking around with our dogs and the shade of all the trees around the site were also incredible. Loved that they had trash cans as well. We also only saw two ticks the whole time we were there and very few bugs which was amazing. We felt very secluded in our site 3 by the pond and will absolutely be back!

4 nights at Explore the Ozarks - Dockley Ranch
Four nights here is the perfect amount of time to reset and return to the world. Recommend the route from the East through Alva even if you have to circle around. Double recommend if you have passengers prone to motion sickness. Triple recommend because Alva is cute, and has Melancholy Coffee Roasters.

Place was awesome! Adams was super communicative and responsive. Secluded with great view off the cliff but also close to Buffalo river activities. Whitaker point was a cool hike to the south. Def take Adam’s recommendation if bringing an rv and come from Kingston, and also would say mine (21 foot box) is probably about as big as I’d try to get in there.

Weekend Trip to Buffalo River Glamping
We loved glamping on Katherine's property for a Buffalo River float trip. The website photos are accurate, and everything was in great shape and very clean. It is a pristine natural getaway, and very quiet except when the birds and owls were chatting. There was plenty of wood for campfires in the evening. Katherine and her husband Tom were very pleasant and helpful, and obviously enjoy helping others enjoy the beauty of the area. Highly recommend, and hope to go back!
