Castor River Ranch Campground

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

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.

Awesome place

Really nice place on the castor river. The owner was a nice guy and very helpful with whatever we needed. I love the castor river. The water feels good and is clear. The castor river ranch campground in Marquand Missouri is a nice lil campground. There aren’t many people that knows about it so there isn’t hardly any campers there so we had a whole Big area to ourselves. The river is right next to the camps. The bathroom is a single person bathroom but it was really nice and air conditioned and has a stand up shower with wood walls and tile floor. There was never a wait for the bathroom it was always open. There’s also showers on the outside of the bathroom for spraying off after you get out of the river. Each camp has its own water spicket for dishes or whatever. They are very pet friendly there. The owner guy was super nice. The only complaint I have is that there is no trash service there so you have to take your trash with you but there is a winery down the road that lets you use their dumpster for $5. I also recommend eating at the winery. They have the best food, amazing people and great service. All around awesome experience with the campground and winery. The castor river shut ins is only 27 minutes from the camp so I definitely recommend going there too. It’s beautiful to see and the water is amazing. The owner of the camp will also give you a ride up river to float back down to your camp for free just bring your own tube or whatever. There is electric sites. Rv or tent camping.
