The Branson Shows are good and we have attended several over our number of stays. As is usual for Bill and Karen, we were anxious to leave and when we learned our campsite was available early we checked in early on 09/26 and even extended our stay to 14 days ending. Couples occupied premium lake view sites #1 through #6 and the singles were in a cabin. Cathy and Dean invited friends to join us (3 additional couples and 2 single guys). This trip was originally planned to meet sister Cathy and her husband Dean and sister Brenda and her husband Orval, for a one week camp beginning Sunday 09/29 through Sunday. One of our group got the certificate (everyone caught large fish though). If however, you choose to release a 21″+ fish, you get a certificate. This special area is mostly catch and release but you are allowed to keep fish greater than 21″. It’s there that clients are able to catch the big trout (14″ to more than 20″). John usually takes clients into the restricted regulated area by the fish hatchery at the damn that created Lake Taneycomo. We understand from friends and family who have used John as a guide that he is very good and they have gone out with him more than once during their stays. Also, a local fishing guide, John Sappington, can be scheduled during your stay.

Cooper Creek has a small boat launch and they offer both boat and docking slot rentals. There are two fishing piers where we witnessed several people catching trout right off the pier during our 2-week stay. They have already begun adding a fenced in dog park to allow guests’ dogs to free-roam and play off-leash. We met one of the owners as she was placing Fall decorations throughout the campground and she told us that they plan many improvements and expansions and so would welcome any suggestions from their guests. In May of 2019, the resort was purchased by two couples who are in the construction business. The premium sites are the 7 RV sites that back-up to Lake Taneycomo. They offer both wooded and lake view campsites as well as a few nice clean and well kept cabins. This will be our third trip to Cooper Creek RV Campground located in Branson, Missouri.
