Buck Ridge — Harry S Truman State Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Harry S Truman State Park sits along the Truman Reservoir in west-central Missouri, and Buck Ridge is one of several distinct camping areas within it. Sites are set on elevated ground above the lake, with tree cover providing shade across much of the loop. Full hookups are available, including electric, water, and sewer connections, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 71 feet. ADA-accessible facilities and showers round out the on-site amenities.

Cleanliness comes up repeatedly in reviews, and the bathrooms draw consistent praise for being well-stocked and maintained. Site spacing holds up reasonably well even when the campground fills, as Jennifer G. notes, "you could not easily hear your neighbors conversations." The campground host has been described as friendly and accommodating, which adds to the overall experience for families and longer-stay campers.

Buck Ridge sits near several other campgrounds within the park, including Bobcat Run — Harry S Truman State Park and Wild Turkey Ridge — Harry S Truman State Park, giving campers flexibility if one area is fully booked. Rates run $27 to $46 per night depending on site type. Reservations are available and worth booking in advance for summer weekends, when the campground tends to fill. Those exploring places to camp near Harry S Truman State Park will find this area has a high concentration of options along the reservoir.

The Quiet Campground

This campsite was very quiet with little to no traffic sounds. The host was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the spacious camp site and the trees that shaded our site. The bathrooms were also nice and clean with four showers inside.

Nice campground and beach!

We had a very nice time here. Everything was very clean. We camped on top of a hill from the lake in an RV site and with being completely surrounded by neighbors, we had enough space not to feel crowded. You could not easily hear your neighbors conversations. We almost stayed an extra night and had we not booked somewhere else ahead of time we would have! Nice spot.
