limited to active or retired military or vets with service related disability

Beautiful campground, though Full hookup sites are on an unappealing parking lot. Sites with electric and water only are in nice oak woods overlooking Lake of the Ozarks. (Our site # J has a concrete stairway with 150 steps down to the water.) Tent sites are right on the water, with spectacular views. You can launch your own kayak or rent a motor boat to explore this gigantic lake. Free laundry facilities. Lean restrooms with nice shower. Very relaxed reservation procedure. We called and were told to just show up. They would hold a spot for us. It worked out fine.

Hidden Gem

Absolutely hidden gem on the lake available for military (active/retired/DAV). Has full hookups, big rig friendly and has a large array of boats you can rent A little difficult to get to it and fairly far from towns but it’s worth it.

Great Park! Friendly Staff!

The only issue is the full hook up area is a big parking lot with no shade! BUT you have great satellite signal!~ also the water in 10 & 11 is slow.We have stayed here many time! They have an awesome Halloween Spooktacular!!!!

Military Recreational Area

This is a Military Campground (not quite a FAMCAMP - more a Recreation Area)! They have four areas - tent, water and electric, full hook up and cabins! We have stayed here may times - typically with the full hook ups. It is NOT off I-44 but off US 54. We have stayed up there in March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October!

Meh

If you have to be in FLW, you might as well be here. There is nothing there. And if you have to be here, you are probably going to be here for a while. Get out and try to enjoy a little nature at least.
