Quiet and clean

Beautiful area to camp, and cheap. Our camp was in burning heart, it was very quiet and very clean. Even being full, it felt secluded. Absolutely will be back to camp again!

Quiet winter spot

We stayed in one of the campgrounds with undesignated primitive spots. Found a nice place to park right on the lake. It was super quiet, being winter. Not too many primitive campers out.

Fall camping at a nice state park

Enjoyed a nice cool weekend of fall camping. Site a little off level, nothing a few blocks or boards couldn’t solve. 30 amps of clean 122 vac, water tucked in between two pine trees that blocked the view of the sites to the left snd right of us. Large grassy field with playgrounds. Trails to take walks by the lake. Reasonable price.

Beautiful view from less used sites.

I started the weekend off with a work camp trip here. We were in the larger camper site. They were very nice and accommodating! After everyone left I moved to a few non shore power site down by the water. Beautiful view, with a quiet serene feel.

Decent camping close to KC

Quick drive from KC, Pamona State Park is an alright spot! Staff is super friendly, the marina is cool to show the kid, and if we had a boat it’d make it even better.

I recommend staying at a loop as far from the marina as possible, and get an interior spot. Vehicles were driving by all night!

It was acceptable

We were in the Heart Stays loop. It was level and beautifully shaded. Thursday night we were the only ones in the loop, however it was near the boat ramps and there was a lot of vehicle traffic all the time. Friday night the campground filled up. There was even more traffic. One large group was very loud until 4:00 am. It is a primitive campground and, I imagine, one of the older ones in the park. The park brochure shows the campground as having a modern toilet, which was a pit toilet. I doubt we’ll go back because of all the noise.

Great place for K9s

Every time you come you're greeted at the gate by exceptionally friendly staff. Once in, all sites are clean and well taken care of. There are a large amount of sites right on the water but make sure to bring aftermarket stakes to get into the ground (mainly rock). We camp with our 3 dogs each time and never put them on a leash. Rangers informed us as long as they stay in your site, they're not strict about it. These Rangers are around for your safety, not to ruin anyone's fun. We've been about 8 times since April and it's our favorite spot hands down!
