The clear waters of Stockton Lake beckon visitors to water ski, scuba dive, swim or fish. And Stockton State Park is the perfect place to do it. It’s a perfect place for sailing – with a perpetual southwest breeze and a nationally recognized sailing school housed at the marina. Two boat launches make it easy to get in the water, as does a swimming beach. Want to stay on land? The park is great for photographing wildlife, picnicking with the family, hiking or just reveling in the beauty of southern Missouri. The park also offers a range of lodging from campsites to cabins. Stockton Lake camping is perfect for families and water recreation enthusiasts.
Stayed here for 4 nights during a visit with family. Park is clean. Staff is friendly. They make fresh pizza at the convenience store/office and will deliver it to your site. We were there 3 weeks before the pool opens so we didn't get a chance to see that. Nice park that's close to 1-44, James River Parkway, and unfortunately a railroad crossing. So you will hear a train horn on occasion, but no highway noise. We will come back here and stay again.
Bathrooms were clean but dated. Water spigots were well spaced. Ticks were very bad. Family sites were spacious but laid out like 2 separate sites. Would have been nice to have both tables together. Tent pads were advertised but non-existent.

Friendly owners. Very clean park. Shower units are new and spacious.
Everything you would expect from KOA Holiday. Bathrooms appear to have been updated. Wifi test, 34 down, 25 up. Verizon spotty but ATT seemed good. Gravel site. Concrete pad with metal dinette. Firepit. Clean. Friendly staff. Premium sites had porch swings, grills and umbrellas
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.
Well I've went here for many years loved camping and also we did a 14 mile float trip would always get rafts and canoes and kayaks prolly the most family friendly environment defiantly will ke3p coming back in the future.
Spacious and mostly level sites, which is outstanding as this park is on face of a hill. We stayed in march so leaves are off the trees and could hear road noise. Very nice stay.
Nice grounds with friendly staff. Spacious places. Unfortunately close to railroad crossing. Luckily few trains are passing.
Everything is great. Clean. But proximity to train crossing ruins the visit.
My wife and our children stayed here in the summer while we traveled for work and we were extremely pleased with both the grounds and the staff. They have great amenities and clean facilities as well as washers and dryers. They were so accommodating. The only drawback is a train close by. They have a small gated dog park and I huge open field. They have a seasonal swimming pool, kids playground, game room and few more things to keep the kids busy. Good WiFi and a shop that sells/makes/delivers pizza to your campsite. We will be visiting again in the future definitely.
The store was awesome, staff was friendly and helpful, grounds were beautiful and sites great. Cabins looked awesome too! Would absolutely stay again
All the typical amenities of a KOA, but very small and the spots are pretty tight. Felt like we were sharing our campfire with the neighbors. Close to Bennett Springs!
We picked a standard non electric site as it was level and not crowded. $8 for seniors so not bad. Lots of fishing activities here on the lake. Would stay longer if we had the time.
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!
Worst nights sleep. The trains run through the crossing blowing the fog horns all night. On top of had a worker wake me up by knocking on my window at 8am to come pay as I came after hours. Then a guy cutting the grass on a ride on 5ft from my truck flicked a stone right into my door chipping the paint. Not to mention just had my truck which has been max $25 at every other campsite across the country but $50 here.
Lynn Creek KOA is a mediocre resort. The pool and the bathroom facilities are pros, and the sites have trees for added shade.
But the cons outweigh those pros, as the sites are all gravel with very little grass, deferred maintenance is an issue for electric & water outlets, the noise from the freeway running in front of the resort is unbearable at all hours, and the flies are biting nonstop.
Shaded, great amenities, friendly staff, LOVE the pull throughs. I have a pop up that’s a pain to reverse. Almost all (if not all) these sites, you can pull through the actual site! Not the jsut the campground. 👌🏽
We booked this site online the day before check in because it seemed to have decent reviews and would suit our needs for one night. After front tire blow out that we ended up on the side of the road for 7 hours with, amidst tornado warnings and severe winds, a severed hydraulic line and body damage, on the road the day of check in, we called for a late check in. Knowing we were going to be there late and needing repairs I went online to reserve a second night so we could stay over. We ended up arriving at around 2 am. The site seemed ok for the night. The spots were narrow and the trees tight for a Class A Motorhome, and the sites were potholed but we couldn’t level anyway because of our road mishap. Then the train started going by at all hours of the night and morning blowing it’s horn, was very difficult to sleep. When we woke up around 10:30 am, we called the office to make sure that we didn’t have to move. The host or employee we spoke to was not able to find our reservation and didn’t care at all to help us. We had let them know what happened on the road and she didn’t even care or pretend to offer a “glad you were safe” or anything. She “could fit us into a 30 amp” but that wasn’t going to work for us with our rig we needed 50 amps. We then walked over to the office to show them the check in email and screenshots of the reservation. They really didn’t care at all to help us. They were very cold and uncaring and didn’t even pretend to be concerned about helping. They obviously just wanted us to leave which We asked for other parks and they “didn’t really know”.
We ended up calling another park 10 miles away and they got us a spot right away, before check in and ended up being the nicest kindest people you could want to know.
We rented a cabin and it was very nice and rustic feeling although I feel the amenities in the cabin could have been way better for example there was no mini fridge no kitchen or sink that was all outside in another area no couch no TV there was free Wi-Fi
We reserved spot 10 for 2 nights. Equidistant between the main house and the new bath house on the SW corner of the property. It was a tad pricey but such as all the parks now. We had a 13ft pull behind that fit easily in our site.
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.
Beautiful but had a hard time sleeping with the trains that kept passing through sounding the horns. It’s clean and nice space otherwise.
We stopped here for two nights while traveling across the country. Great campground, very clean bathrooms, nice pool and playground. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating.
Very nice, clean and quiet. We are here in the middle of October waiting for the leaves to turn. Good access to the Lake of the Ozarks.
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.
