Accommodating Staff

Coming into Hannibal, the RV GPS wanted to take us around town up to I-72. Had we been on our toes, we could have turned right at the“campground sign,” making our trip a bit easier and shorter. We came into the campground(CG) and resort area with some other campers. There was plenty of parking, and we checked in at the gift shop where you can purchase cave entry tickets. Our friends had come in the day before and told us that our reserved site E-05 was long enough for our new 40’ 2” Brinkley Model G, but we would need to park our F-450 elsewhere. Our friend suggested F-17, which was an easy back-in. F-17 was available, and was actually cheaper, so we saved$6 on the back-in site. The office folks here were very nice and accommodating, as we had expected to arrive the day prior with our friends, but due to loading up our new rig, we arrived a day late. The nice people at the office helped us work out this situation plus changed our campsite when we arrived. We proceeded to F-17 and settled down for our first camping night in our Brinkley. The F area back-ins are fairly new, with few trees to block the satellite. The older pull-throughs have mature trees and a lot of shade, so satellite would be spotty depending on the site. The water and electric are towards the back of the site, with the sewer in the middle. The water pressure was good. We got one bar on Verizon, and the CG WiFi worked better than average for a CG this size, but we were here for just an overnight from Monday to Tuesday. We were told that this private CG fills up on the weekends.

Exploring Hannibal

Stayed here 2 nights, while we explored Hannibal. The campground is large, but half empty when we stayed. It meet our needs, always love having WiFi. My biggest complaint would be only 2 washer/dryers (one which was broken). The cave tour is interesting, but a little expensive. I would stay on the main street of Hannibal to see the Mark Twain sites, rest of the city is seedy

Gravel, gravel and more gravel! Good and reliable camp ground, as well!

Our site (B14) was not at all level. Used all my blocks to compensate for the forward and passenger site down slope. Other sites in B section had similar problems. Fortunate that we carry an adjustable step for coach entry. Showers and restrooms were good, but shower curtains need to be replaced. Great water. Works great !

Great Campground

This is a nice campground by the Mark Twain Cave. The sites are spacious with nice big fire rings. The sites are gravel and are semi level but still need leveling. It was quiet and peaceful, a good nights rest passing through. The grounds are fairly tidy but could use some clean up. We had a nice corn hole area across from our site. Very easy to get to with GPS.

Pretty Good Campground, Convenient Location

We stayed here for just 1 night to visit the Mark Twain cave and some of the sights in town. The sites were gravel, and lots of greenery and trees around. We didn't have a site by the stream - I would try to get one of those next time. Super convenient to walk over to the cave or winery. The winery wasn't open because we went just before Memorial Day.

Close to attractions

I did not give this campground a 5 because it wasn't as clean as I would hope. The laundry room was filthy. It wasn't cleaned the entire week we stayed and it was dirty when we arrived. They may have cleaned the bathrooms daily, but they didn't do a thorough job. It was pricey for the cave tours and Mark Twain Cave was full of graffiti. Very sad. The camp site was perfect for us. The employees were nice and helpful.

Laundry, shower, playground and tourist facilities. Two caves and a winery on site. It's pricey but worth it.

Hotel type camping

I was not impressed. If you are there to see sites of Hannibal MO and are using camping as a motel this campground may work for you. Almost all full hookups. I would recommend sitesD7 and E7. Shower hose was pretty nice and clean. Campground sits right in the city of Hannibal. Beautiful town. It does have a nice store that is the entrance to the store. We did not do the cave. We will probably camp elsewhere and travel in.

Really cool campground with caves

The campground is quit and peacefully. Just a short walk from the Mississippi River and downtown Hannibal. They have two caves you can tour along with a winery on site. Both attractions are at the front of the campground so they are an easy walk from your campsite but your site is also secluded away from the tourist their during the day for just the caves and winery. Staff was friendly and helpful. The caves make the whole stay that much more amazing for the kids.

Average

We RV camped here for one night. Staff was friendly, sites were level and hookups were fine. The bathroom is a little less than to be desired. We opted to use our RV instead of their restrooms due to cleanliness issues and there was a swarm of wasps in the shower.

Camp,cave,and winery!

Clean hot showers, nuff said.

Small but very nice snack shop that serves cold and hot sandwiches. They will deliver your meal to the winery, nice touch. The winery also had live music hat wasn’t loud and shut down early. The grounds is only 2 miles outside of Hannibal and is walkable if fit. My buddy and I walked in but took Uber back.

Nice place.
