  Edge of the Woods RV Park and Campground

  Anna is a fantastic host

  We have stayed at this campground several times and Anna is there to answer all your questions and really take care of you. This is close to Roaring River and Table Rock Lake. You are also close to Cassville if you’ve forgotten anything or want to eat out!

  Great spot!

  We were just passing through and stayed for a night. We had sewer, water, and electric hookup. A nice dog park, and even found some 4 leaf clovers!

  Stockton State Park Campground

  Nice primitive campsite in loop 1

  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.

  Roaring River: Glamping Tents

  1st Time Glamping

  Staying at Roaring River was on the tail end of our 15day & 4,500mi Motorcycle trip out to Colorado. My wife and I were excited sleep in a real bed for the first time in a week (vs tent/sleeping bags). We seemed to be the only tenants for the night, but we spent a good amount of time speaking with the owner before the sun set and setting up to cook dinner. The fire pits are nice and the ability to purchase a small bundle of dry firewood at the camp store on-site is very convenient. They also have snacks and beverages for sale, and are working on opening a short-order type restaurant, with an additional option for a pre-reserved nicer dinner. The bath house was very clean and equipped with full sized showers. The owners are great resources as well and are very friendly / accommodating.

  There were 2 very minor negatives, both related to the fact that this location is brand new:

  • It was hot in the bath house. The owner did say they were still working on the building and the AC was not fully functional yet.
  • The gravel was loose and had not had enough traffic to pack it down. This likely will not matter to anyone else since most will be in cars and not on a 700lb motorcycle with another full sized adult on the back.

  Overall I highly recommend staying at Roaring River Hills, and giving the glamping tents a try. So nice to be able to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors without all the unpacking, setup, repacking and susbstandard comfort of a sleeping bag. I am excited to ride back there in the next year to see the progress and maybe reserve one of their couples dinner packages, if they choose to pursue that as an option.

  If staying here be sure to give your feedback to the owners about what you liked and would be interested in, vs their future plans. I could see this place becoming a hot spot in a beautiful area of the country.

  Huge Sites

  This place was easy, pretty and well appointed. Great site next to river, across from bath, laundry and showers. Quiet and easy access. Highly recommend.

  Beagle Bay RV Haven Campground

  Beautiful place & very sweet people!

  They have everything you could want! Arcade, swimming pool, kids playground and a pond to fish. On top of those they have bathrooms & showers with a sauna in each and a laundry unit which are all very nice! I wouldn’t even call them owners because they definitely do not act like it, they’re the sweetest people you could meet along the way. They offer firewood to buy from them and propane as well if you run out on site and don’t want to drive anywhere. This is the best place we’ve stayed at yet!

  Beagle Bay RV Haven Campground

  Wonderful place to relax

  Tent area is undeveloped, but the lawn is fairly level, bathrooms and showers are only a short walk away. Nicole showed me to the site and was a wonderful help. Great spot that most people might pass up because its right next to the highway, but honestly you can barely tell aside from the hum of trucks. Bathrooms are beautiful and clean, 2 toilets, 2 showers and a sauna in each. The place is quiet and seems like a lot of people here are long term residents. We are in a tent on the back lawn by a small fishing lake. Nice playground for younger kids and you cant beat the atmosphere and the birds. Free on-site laundry which I took advantage of when I needed to wash and dry my blanket on a cold night. Unfourtunately no campfire for tent camp sites, but bring a camp stove and you'll be fine. They are actively doing renovations and the office isnt open yet, so you have to call the park manager, Kim, for info and she is wonderful. All the staff is. Kim came by and took my son and 2 other kids on a golf cart ride on the trail behind the lake and they had a blast. We are loving it here and are sad to be leaving after the weekend. Update: I have just been informed they have a Willie Nelson impersonator doing a show here tonight, this place would get 6 stars if I could.

  Cool hang out area

  This isn’t my typical style of campground because this is more of a parking lot style camping. However, they have a really cool hang out area, a clear creek to play in, and a waterfall area to explore. I’d you are passing through, this is a great place to stop and rest for the night!

  This is NOT a 5 star resort

  The most important thing I can tell you is the bathrooms smell like sewage and are dirty. I came to stay because I read how amazing it was. It is not. It’s kind of like staying in a giant parking lot. One side has trees the other a road. It was easy to get to the greenway and ride. However there is so much construction that it is better to create your own ride. So if you don’t mind a gross bathroom or you have an RV with one then it’s worth it. The people were very nice and helpful.

  Ok (if u cant get a Prairie Springs spot)

  Its parking lot-type RV sites, but in a fairly narrow valley between historically & naturally interesting wooded trails. The birdsong this spring at dawn & dusk coming from both sides was tremendous. Showers (3) & WC (3) & laundry (3 washers & dryers) with a sort of library addition.

  Nice enough

  Clean and well maintained KOA. Friendly personnel. Shaded, pull thru sites as well as back-ins, cabins, and tent sites. Sites are very level with crushed stone pads. Good water pressure. Lots of grass. Patio sites are available. Internet is poor, as typical of most RV parks. Cable tv with about 30 channels. Good stopover park.

  Crawford State Park Campground

  Stayed at Rocky Cove Campground on the Lake

  We stayed in late June in the Rocky Cove Campground on the lake.  The lake itself is dotted with campgrounds.  Rocky Cove has concrete pad sites, nice and level, both on and away from the lake.  The lake sites have power only, and the Prime sites (opposite the lakeside sites) have water and power both.  We don't have water in our teardrop, so we got water from an unoccupied site.  

  The sites are small, and for the summer, don't stay in site #118 (a lakeside site), as it has no protection from the sun.  The sun sets across the lake and although the view is great, the sun bakes the campsite from morning until 9 pm.  The site next door, #120 is nice and shady.  In winter, the desirability of the sites might be reversed.

  The odd thing about the campground is that there is no bathroom or showers.  At all.  You have to go to the next campground over, Oak Point.  Not convenient.  Overall, Oak Point appears to be the better choice, with more trees, larger sites and a convenient bathroom (with ice machine at the entrance).  I should note the restroom was "clean enough".  Not terrible, not great.  The shower I used had merely a trickle, but my wife's had great pressure.  The hand dryer in the men's room looked corroded and was out of order (in Oak Point)

  All the campgrounds appeared quiet, and the people there were friendly.  We would go back, but stay in Oak Point.

  Cedar Ridge Campground—Stockton Lake

  Last Minute Camping

  We camped overnight here on a bit of a whim and we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space some of the sites have between them. Some spots are right on the lake water and some are off in the woods a little bit more, which does somewhat provide a dispersed camping experience, although you are still at a camp site near an access road. Lots of room though.

  Mutton Creek Park

  Lake Camping

  This is a good place to camp, but in the main camp area the spots are fairly packed together. However the water is usually never far away. There are two campsites you can choose from, I prefer the one on the bank opposite the marina. The marina has a shop with all the standard stuff. There is also a bar on the marina that the locals love. They also provide rentals for watercraft.

  Great weekend

  Great campground to stay at. Sites are power only, water and dump separate. Campground has private boat ramp and parking away from public use so things stay secure overnight. Short walk to beach area is nice. Will be back again

  We camp here quite often. I like that we can take our fur babies. It’s quiet even if there are a lot of campers. People are polite and respectful. The area is always so clean. The camp hosts are great!

  Stockton State Park

  Real nice park Especially for what we paid. $8.00 for electric only per night. Senior rate off season, $2.00 discount. Two loops East & West. We stayed in the east on a fairly level site, all nicely spaced. Most sites are pretty level, except some that back to the woods. Good ATT signal. Did not try OTATV. Dump & fresh water were near by. Real friendly camp host. A great night over for us.
