Castor River Ranch Campground
Castor River Ranch Campground, near Marquand, Missouri, is a cozy spot that offers a laid-back atmosphere for those looking to unwind by the water. With just six sites, it’s perfect for campers who appreciate a bit of privacy and a more intimate setting.
This campground is right next to the Castor River, making it a great place for swimming and floating. Visitors have raved about the clear water and the owner’s hospitality, with one camper noting, “The owner was a nice guy and very helpful with whatever we needed.” You’ll find electric hookups available, and each site comes with its own water spigot for convenience.
The facilities include a single-person bathroom that’s air-conditioned and features a stand-up shower, which is a nice touch after a day of outdoor activities. Campers have also enjoyed the outdoor showers for rinsing off after a dip in the river. Just a heads up, you’ll need to take your trash with you since there’s no service on-site, but there’s a nearby winery that allows you to use their dumpster for a small fee.
If you’re up for some adventure, the Castor River Shut Ins are just a short drive away, offering stunning views and great spots for exploration. Whether you’re camping in an RV or pitching a tent, Castor River Ranch Campground is a solid choice for a relaxing getaway.
