May 2, 2015 – Saturday, Treasure Lake Resort, Branson, MO
Dean and I recently purchased a membership to Treasure
Lake Resort. We think this will be a
great place to visit during the times we are not traveling in the Bentley and
hope the kids and grandkids will enjoy coming here with us. The great thing about Treasure Lake is they
also have cabins to rent at very affordable rates so everyone can have their own space. There is so
much to do here from both indoor and outdoor swimming; miniature golf; tennis;
basketball; walking trails; games; kid’s activities; movie theater; music
groups; dance lessons; etc. And of
course, it is right in the heart of Branson, MO. There is so much to see and do here. We have always enjoyed visiting and with our
membership our overnight stay is $7.
Compared to the cost of a regular campground in Branson we are saving
$25-30 or more each night we stay. This will
allow us to visit more often.
So we pulled out of Cedar Oaks RV Park in Grove about
10:00 a.m. and arrived in Branson at Treasure Lake a little after 1:00
p.m. It was a nice drive and Bentley did
very well on the ride.
We got set up and had a little lunch. I wanted to visit one of the shops up the
road that used to carry a variety of what I remember as home sewn purses. I am looking for a small purse or carrier to
take my RV log, my notebook, Kindle and various cords, pens, earphones along
with me when we are traveling.
Unfortunately there wasn’t anything like I expected there to be. We made a quick Wal-mart run to gather up
some groceries to use during our stay.
We decided to stop at McFarland’s at the entrance to Treasure Lake
Resort and have dinner. We enjoy this
restaurant and as usual the food did not disappoint us.

While at the Escapees rally they announced there would be
casual campouts near the Branson area, either 2 or 3 yet this year. While we will not be able to attend
due to other commitments, we thought we’d just take a drive and see where they were and
what it would be like to get the RV in for future reference. We discovered one of the parks was actually
an Escapee park. It was a nice little park along Tuttle
Creek on the east side of Lake Taneycomo and then south. We also visited two Corps of Engineer parks
on the southwest side of Branson. Old 86
and Mill Creek. These parks were very,
very nice, as all of the COE parks we have visited have been. The entrances to them are a little more
interesting to think about bringing an RV into but many do it so we can too!
This took the best part of our day and we headed back to
the RV to spend a quiet evening. We
actually had thought about going up to the Clubhouse for the dance lessons they
were having but I think we were both pretty drained with all of the activities
of this past week and our drive today that we decided to just take it easy. The dance lessons will be here for next time.
May 4, 2015 – Monday, Treasure Lake Resort, Branson, MO
We got up and took our time getting ready to leave. We visited with our neighbors as they too
were packing up. We left Treasure Lake a
little before 11:00 and arrived back home at 2:00 p.m. The
next few weeks are going to be busy, busy, busy so we have lots to do before
our next RV trip the end of May. See you
then.
