The move to join Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts is the latest move for Garry and Debbie Ingram, who have transformed Shoal’s Bend RV Resort into a family friendly campground. It was a diamond in the rough when Garry and Debbie Ingram bought the 75-site RV Park in Branson, Missouri two years ago.

“It was a popular hangout for rowdy adults, partiers and people who would stay up all night,” Debbie Ingram recalled.

But the Ingrams have changed the image of the park by getting rid of the problem guests and investing more than $80,000 in improvements, including larger campsites, upgraded campsites with patios and outdoor chimineas, new landscaping, remodeled bathrooms, a new dog walk and a 20- by 60-foot outdoor pavilion, which was completed on April 1st.

And now the Ingrams are raising the profile of their RV Park by joining the family friendly Jellystone Park Camp Resorts chain, the second largest campground network in the country.

Jellystone Parks Named “Best of the Best” Campgrounds

Four Jellystone Park campgrounds have been recognized by the Good Sam Club as being the “Best of the Best” campgrounds in North America. Each year, campgrounds are inspected and rated on three categories on a scale of 1 to 10: completeness of facilities, cleanliness and physical appearance of restrooms, and visual appeal. Only those campgrounds who rate in the top 100 of all North American campgrounds are honored as “Best of the Best.” While all Jellystone Park campgrounds pride themselves on above-average facilities and cleanliness, these locations are consistently recognized for their achievements.
