Best Things About the Resort:
There is a very helpful staff and a concierges who are always available (8am to 8pm daily) to answer questions and help you schedule shows, many at a discount. There are many reasonably priced on-site shows with free meals or snacks. There are also a variety of camping areas: open, shaded, and some with lake view. There is a nice little fitness room, a big indoor pool, and well-landscaped grounds, and it’s in a quiet location.
Resort Experience:
There was no lack of choices among our membership RV parks in Branson. Coast to Coast alone has seven in Branson and Branson West. Fall Creek is a Coast Deluxe and RPI member. As members, we pay the nightly fee of $8 for an RV space. We chose to stay at Fall Creek because of its location on Lake Tanycomo, and from the descriptions in the catalog, it sounded like one of the nicer places. We were tempted to stay a bit longer than a week, but time constraints (getting south for winter) compelled us to stick to our schedule.
We chose to camp in the sunny area higher on the hill and nearer to the clubhouse and activities center. Our campsite backed against a tree-shaded park (not Sunterra’s). Lake access is limited to the marina and trout dock in the northeast corner of the park, where you can also rent a pontoon or fishing boat and buy bait, tackle, and a fishing license. Lake Taneycomo’s reputation is excellent for trout fishing. But there’s no shortage of water, even if you don’t count the lake, as pools and ponds abound, with even one stocked with fish next to a laundry house. Curiously, we were unable to locate Fall Creek itself on the grounds or even on local maps.
Fall Creek Resort buildings are interspersed with timeshare condos and a large section of privately owned RV estates with lots with mobile homes on them. There is the presence of a convenience store, gas station, propane station, and car wash near the entrance, plus the many amenities on resort grounds make Fall Creek more like a self-contained village. Though there’s plenty to keep you busy in Branson, you could come to this resort and participate in the nonstop daily and evening activities without ever setting foot outside, including meals and shows. Barbeques and all-you-can-eat buffets cost only $8 at Clementine’s, the resort restaurant. The show we attended was a ‘50s theme party featuring 2 hours of performances by 14 local entertainers (see entry below). This was really helpful to get a feel for the types of shows available in Branson. An All-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner, including dessert and beverages, came with the party. Cost per adult: $6.50 for dinner and the show. Other shows and events that week included a country legacy show, country dancing to a live band, cowboy poetry and songs, a "not-so-newlywed" game, and an old-time gospel church service on Sunday. Card game lessons, bingo, water aerobics, golf outings, crafts, free non-surgical face-lifts, and recent release movies were some of the many additional offerings at Fall Creek.
Clementine’s is open for breakfast and lunch buffets daily and prime rib on Saturday evenings. Games you can play at the resort are volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, mini-golf, croquet, badminton, ping-pong, darts, and tennis. Equipment checkout for any of the above is free. For golfers, Fall Creek provides a voucher to Holiday Hills Golf Resort for $40 ($16 savings). No RV? No problem. Rooms at Fall Creek rent from $50 to $229 (for three bedrooms) nightly.
