Over 100 live entertainment choices, including music, comedy, magic, acrobats, dance, drama, and variety shows, all just minutes away. Shoppers may want to take advantage of the local outlet malls and craft shops for finding must-have items at affordable prices. For more active entertainment, try one of the area zip lines, hiking, cave tours, or horseback riding. Area golf courses provide challenges for avid players as well as beginners.

    The Branson area is also known as the Tri-Lakes Region. The cold waters of Lake Taneycomo are stocked with trout, while right next door warm water Table Rock and Bull Shoals Lakes support trophy bass, stripers, and crappie. Between them, they offer opportunities for fishing, swimming, skiing, boating, and scuba diving.

    Choose a dinner or lunch cruise with entertainment on the Showboat Branson Belle or the Landing Princess or enjoy the serenity of the Spirit of America catamaran. Nearby theme parks include Silver Dollar City, White Water and Shepherd of the Hills Homestead and Outdoor Theater.

    And did we mention go-carts, several museums, hatchery tours, train rides, hot air balloons, and miniature golf. Take a day trip north to Springfield or south to Harrison or Eureka Springs and you can add Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, professional baseball, Civil War battlefields, The Great Passion Play, and more. The trick is deciding what to do and still have time to relax and enjoy the beautiful Ozarks scenery and hospitality.

  • Meet The Innkeepers

    Glen Cameron is the resident innkeeper. He and wife Kay designed and built Cameron's Crag as a Bed & Breakfast, opening in 1986. Kay ran the B&B while Glen worked at nearby College of the Ozarks and assisted with the B&B whenever possible. He held several administrative positions at the college before retiring in 2003 as Dean of Campus and International Services after 34 years of service. Glen has been involved with Boy Scouts of America for many years, serving as District Chairman, Order of the Arrow Advisor, Council Commissioner, Council President, Area Vice President, and District Executive, among other capacities. He is an active Rotarian and Past District Governor of Rotary International District 6080. He also devotes time and energy to several church, community, and civic organizations as well as traveling and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Following Kay's death in 2009, he became more active with the Bed & Breakfast, assisted by long-time assistant innkeeper/manager, Janet Miller.

    Janet Miller is the manager and non-resident innkeeper. She is originally from central Illinois and moved to the Branson area in 1978 to attend School of the Ozarks (now College of the Ozarks) where she worked in Glen's office as a student. She returned to the College in 1990 as a staff member in the Admissions office where Glen was dean and eventually began working part-time at Cameron's Crag in addition to her full-time position at the College. Following Glen's retirement from Collegeof the Ozarks in 2003 Janet ran Cameron's Crag while Glen and his wife Kay spent a semester in The Netherlands with the international exchange program. Janet and her husband Kevin have three "20 something" children and one grandchild, all of whom live in the Branson area. Janet is active in ministry at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Branson and enjoys "researching" Branson area shows and attractions.
