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.
Description
Buck Ridge has 61 premium electric sites with pads that run from 50 to 70 feet long. There are six family sites with an extra pad, table, and electric hookup. All of the campsites have a lantern hook, fire pit, and table. The shower house, restrooms, and laundry facilities are at the Bluff Ridge Trail trailhead by the host campsite number 119. Pets are welcome but they have to be on a leash or restrained at all times. The water, showers, and RV dump station are turned off during the off-season so bring your own water during that time.
