Well, my wife suggested seeing some of the Ozarks on our next
camping trip. Below are some of the possible options she's
found so far.  Any recommendations among these, or others?  I
expect we'll only have 2-3 days in the area.

  There is a nice auto museum next to the park if you are into
  those things. I like because it has some vintage cars I can
  relate to.

 Thanks for the tip.  It's a little farther along than I've planned
so far, but I'll run it by the wife anyway.
 

Here's another I can't believe I forgot.

Beautiful cave system run by the National Forrest Service. It's only a couple of hours SE of Branson in northeast, Arkansas. I have been there several times and find this more attractive than even Carlsbad. They are "living" caves, meaning you can't touch anything or they will toss you out on your keister. Well worth the visit.
Also, Mountain Home, AR is near and nice if you like folksy stuff.
