Bennett Spring State Park Campground

This is the third time staying here. This time wife and I took our small camper just to get away for the weekend. We stayed in campground one because it is the only one open during the off season. You can make reservations online before going to ensure you have the spot you want. Campground one is in a flat spot down by the water and it is actually rather open and built for large rigs to fit in. If it was full I imagine it would be crowded and not much privacy but because we went in the winter there was only four other campsites taken. We were surprised when we found that there was Wi-Fi available for free at the campground. One negative is we only found one toilet for the entire campground. It wasn't a problem at this time because there was hardly anybody there, but I imagine if you wanted to use the toilet during the regular season you would find yourself with a line or going somewhere else.

This is a beautiful area with a lot of camping spots. Campground 1 is down by the water and really meant for the big rigs. Most of the other campgrounds (5 total) also have plenty of space to spread out. We saw plenty of 5th wheels up in the other campgrounds. Many had electric, though don't think many have water. Which is fine for a long weeked or something - just fill up the freshwater before heading out. 

Of course if you like fishing this is a wonderful place. Not my thing, but I enjoyed people watching.

We stayed this past Memorial weekend. We had excellent wifi and T-mobile cell service with 5G while we stayed there, Very clean.They were pretty full with it being a holiday weekend.

Had a great time in a spacious cabin with full kitchen and bath. Comfortably held 5 of us in one cabin. A little busier than I like, but fun to watch all the fly fisherfolk. Niangua River was gorgeous and so fun to swim in (clear all the way to the bottom). Caught tadpoles with our hands and watched tiny fish. Lots of chiggers was the only downfall. Hiking trails were great with natural bridges and caves. Super fun time!

We visited Bennet Spring State Park on 4/2/22 for one night to camp with some friends.

We stayed at site 440 with our Sierra 2500 & Keystone Springdale 2820BH.

The site was easy to back into, and had plenty of room for our truck & rig. This site is electric only, no water or sewer.

The hatchery was really neat to see, and the spring was stunning! We enjoyed watching the fisherman & seeing all the beautiful trout. We can’t wait to visit again!

**The water is not turned on in Loop 1 until April 15th.

Quiet, setting with a very helpful park staff.

This is a mecca for all trout fishing people. Great fishing. Great family campground. Clean bathrooms and helpful staff.

Simply an amazing camp ground with amazing volunteers. Amazing fishing but you gotta get up early to get a trout tag

My son and I purchased two new travel trailers and campsite number two was perfect for getting our campers ready, including sanitizing our water tanks.

Although we did not fish, we thoroughly enjoyed our family hike up around the spring and watching all of the trout being caught.

It was a great family time and I am so blessed to have had this time together with my son, his lovely wife and our 3 year old granddaughter.

Thank you Bennett Springs!



Great place to camp, camp grounds 2,3,4,5 all are shaded with plenty of room between campsites. Campground 1 has sewer,ele,water on concert pads but very little shade. Modern shower houses, plenty of hiking trails, and of course trout fishing

We've camped at both electric and basic sites. Both providing lots of shade. Great foahing, and two very nice trails.

A hatchery on site, trout fishing daily limit 4.   Nice stop over on a road trip, honored Access pass for discount, level site, showers, easy drive from a nearby town.   Site was level, table fire pit, grill, lantern hook, access to dumpster n n water, on site dump station.   There is a pool in lower part of campground as well as restraunt, store, did not use these facilities.

A trout fisher dream, as one of Missouri’s 5 hacherys are here. Fun for this kids to see the amazing amount of fish. Due to rain I didn’t have the opportunity to hit any of the trails, but there are several that vary in length and difficulty.

Love this campground but site 202 not a great site for a camper. Not the easiest site to level a camper. What a great weekend fishing and camping though.

Wife and I decided to start camping again after a 10 yr layoff, So after a few equipment upgrades we made our reservation and we went last week. Tent site was nice and shower rooms are clean and nice as well.

Wonderful campsite!!! We had the best time at this campground! Easy access to the bathrooms, which were very clean. You are pretty close to your neighbor but the trees all around the campsites give you all the privacy you could want! Can’t wait to go back!!

Great place to take the family. The roads are all paved so it made biking for our kids easy and enjoyable. The campsite was spacious and shaded. The kids loved playing in the creek and hiking the trails. It’s a good spot to go trout fishing as well!

We stayed 4 nights prior to the water being activated 4/15/19. Full sites are nicely paved. Showers were ok. Wifi adequate to operate a blink camera. Trout fishing was excellent

Lots of fun and beautiful

This is a nice campground. But not if you’re looking to get away from people and get deep into nature. This is mostly a fishing campground. Not a lot to do in the area. Campground is still nice, just close to city and not as nice as other areas in Missouri

Yhis place is beautiful and.there.and numbers of things for the entire family to enjoy!

Visit was great. Went trout fishing and canoeing down the river. Several campgrounds some are up step hills but level once on top.

Great selection of campgrounds. Most located right off the Niangua River. The fishing is fantastic, great Trout hatchery. If fishing isn't for you, there are also quite a few trails and boating options.

Campground is generally clean and well-kept. Price is definitely reasonable and the bathroom at campground 5 is VERY nice, running water and hot showers.

We had a great time fishing, canoeing and relaxing. Well maintained area.

Love the fishing, wish it was more secluded and less crowded.

we stayed at campground 4, the site itself had a lot of poison ivy leaving us to just explore the paved areas. The bathrooms and showers had not been cleaned in a long time but had hot/cold water and soap in the bathroom. There was no playground on our site but plenty of bike riding. We enjoyed the trout fishing, ice cream in the park store, nature center, and programs they put on. Might not return but still a fun weekend.

Great trout fishing including handicapped access for fishing. Limited full hookups for campers but also has cabins for rent
