About this Location

Facility Overview

Turkey Creek - Escapes RV Parks is a scenic, open-air parking and hospitality facility nestled along the banks of Turkey Creek at 1376 US-65 BUS in Hollister, Missouri. Situated immediately south of Lake Taneycomo and the Branson municipal boundary, the property features an expansive, level outdoor layout designed to handle heavy vehicular traffic, large recreation vehicles, and everyday passenger vehicles. Because this is a wide-open surface facility, there are no restrictive multi-level ceiling decks or vertical clearance barriers, making it completely accommodating for standard sedans, compact cars, lifted pickup trucks, passenger vans, overland rigs, high-profile conversion vans, and full-length motorhomes with towed trailers.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned on Hollister\'s historic commercial corridor, the site provides rapid access to both tranquil Ozark natural attractions and the world-famous live entertainment hub of Branson:

Historic Downtown Hollister & Downing Street: Less than 1 mile away, offering charming English Tudor-style architecture, local boutiques, vintage bistros, and historic dining.
Branson Landing & Downtown Branson: Approximately 2.5 miles north, featuring premier waterfront shopping, scenic boardwalks on Lake Taneycomo, fountain fire-and-water shows, and dining.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching via US-65 BUS, monitor your GPS directions closely as the entrance drive appears promptly along the tree-lined creek basin. Peak theater arrival hours (typically between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM) cause moderate congestion on connecting arteries toward downtown Branson, so allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes when heading to ticketed evening shows. Advanced reservations are strongly advised during peak Ozark summer months, autumn foliage weekends, and the Christmas holiday festival season.
