This place is fantastic! I had my college graduation at this resort. They were very helpful getting rooms for all of my family and friends from out of town. The water slide was so much fun. The owners made everyone feel right at home and made sure my party went of perfectly. The food was delicious and the drinks were... More

I cant imagine they will be in business much longer. By the way, this is the first negative review I have ever written for... More

Food is awesome. Staff is great. Rooms are clean but quirky old school Ozarks. Great location on quiet side. Owners are hands on. Totally cool retro lake place. Been here 50 years and still cranking. Longest water slides in MO, yes two. Swim up bar. Hello? What is not to love?

My family checked into the campground Friday March 8th and left on Monday March 11th before 9:00 a.m. When we made the reservation we looked through the website and even called several times. After many calls we finally got hold of somebody, a man whom did not identify himself. As most of our party were camping in tents we asked... More

If all you are wanting to do is ride some nice waterslides for fairly cheap ($10 for all day), then this is the place to go! The bar area next to the slides is well-designed and has potential to be a really cool spot. The problem is the atmosphere. It's not at all kid-friendly, which is problematic for a water... More

Three generations of our family from, 3 to 53, had a great time on our 4 night vacation at the BBR! We just about did it all. Including just hanging out at the guest pool and swim dock. We all went on the 2 water slides and liked watching other people enjoying themselves too. The view of the lake is... More

Waterslides and pool were good too! Camground was actually pretty nice. Most of the sites have enough space and were really enjoyed ourselvea. It's a little bit of a walk... More

The rooms are beyond disgusting. They are dank, smelly, unclean, and full of bugs. There is NO way the sheets, much less comforters, were cleaned!! The beds touch the ground allowing bugs to crawl everywhere. I was so upset that I didn't sleep either night. The band crapped out and didn't play so we had no band either night. The... More
