always have had good times at Pla-Port Resort. Darrell and Cheri have always been easy to work with and will do anything they can to help out. I also like the Shell Knob area of the lake. I think there prices are very good also.

They need to get off their lazy rears at Harper Valley and pad their dock stalls, only scratches I have had the last 3 years have been off that durn dock of theirs.  Really nice folks, but that dock is a biter.  Schooner is probably nicer and has a much better dock.  Ramp is right beside the dock.  You are however getting away from the Baxter area with these Kimberling City Resorts, so that is something to think of.  If you have been staying at Indian Hills  in the Big Indian at Baxter, you will be very sorely disappointed at any of the Kimberling City accommodations.

If you have not, you now have the best option.  A docking facility that handles in excess of 40 boats with all the electric you need and a launching ramp right by the dock.   It is located off H Hwy with access out of Shell Knob.  Very good restaurants and grocery.  This is a premier resort with all the amenities including a magnificent clubhouse that handles over 100 people and some of the very nicest guestrooms of any on water lake resort, including Big Cedar. Indian Hills Resort 417-858-6243   Schooner Creek Resort 417-739-4417

If you want to go the other way and fish out of Shell Knob, there are a multitude of resorts up there that have excellent on water facilities and cabins overlooking your boats   Guys gave you a great example of places headed down stream.

Good Luck

I've stayed at Kimberling Oaks before also. It is a nice option, but would be tight with any significant number of boats. Especially if guys want to trailer vs slip, or if the lake is high.

That is the trouble with some of the smaller resorts, is that they do not have enough dock space for 25 boats or they don't have launching facilities.  I believe at Shell Knob, either Big Creek or Play Port can handle that many.  Hardman's Hollow also has a big dock, but his launch is pretty sketchy.  I think that Charles over there usually launches the boats for his visitors and they probably would not work for derby guys.
