Lake of the Ozarks

One night stay. Nice COAE campground. Had trouble getting here from the south because of extensive flooding from the April storms. Amazing bird songs and calls. Busy but quiet.

Bucksaw is the place

From the moment we pulled into Bucksaw campground we knew we were in for a great weekend... minus the large group that had gathered and the drunks who tried to help me back in.

Most sites are shaded and offer electric... most in the B loop have water and there are some full hook ups around.

Campsites are very spacious and everyone was very nice. The camp host even came around and offered everyone suckers.

There is a very nice beach and a short walking trail. I wish the trail went down to the lake.

We definitely will be coming back.

Buck saw Campground

This is a nice park on the lake. The shower house was huge. Don’t stay to close to the bathrooms because the lights are very bright.
