Best RV Parks & Resorts near Collins, MO

Cooks RV park is small but looks sweet. It is rather close to the road so a little noisy but not to bad. I didn’t see any camping spots form where I was and only about 35-40 RV hook ups, with water and electric. All gravel pull in spots.

Cheap full hook ups at a nice lakeside campground, they also have a hotel and cabins that are nice getaways. The food at the restaurant is pretty good as well.

Campground is very well kept. Each site has full hook ups. They have separate trailer parking if you’re set up is too long to keep hooked up. Super friendly and helpful staff. We needed a few parts and pieces and they were eager to get us help. Campsites are available with access to a covered or uncovered boat slip that is about a 5 min walk down hill. There’s a waterside restaurant called Captain Ron’s at the bottom of the hill (same 5 min walk) that is family friendly and has lots to offer.

This park is privately owned. It has a very nice in ground pool along with a storm shelter which gives piece of mind in crazy Missouri weather. Shade seems to be scarce at a lot of the sites (all are full hook up I believe). They have what seems to be quite a few full time campers living here. Hard to get through on phone lines to book and no online booking options but overall a very clean campground with friendly owners.

From the moment we pulled into Bucksaw campground we knew we were in for a great weekend... minus the large group that had gathered and the drunks who tried to help me back in.

Most sites are shaded and offer electric... most in the B loop have water and there are some full hook ups around.

Campsites are very spacious and everyone was very nice. The camp host even came around and offered everyone suckers.

There is a very nice beach and a short walking trail. I wish the trail went down to the lake.

We definitely will be coming back.

We stayed in a pull through spot with full hook ups for a week. They have spots for any size of rig. Relatively quiet with some road noise but a pretty view of the water. The shower houses were in good shape, but the shower doors were a little low to cover everything if someone else were to walk into the restroom. Laundry room is available if you request it be unlocked the night prior. We stayed in late October if you do the same just know you might see some people skinning deer in the middle of the campground.

Nice park that has flat/level sites with 50/30 full hookups. Salt water pool, play ground, camp store with onsite storage available for campers or boats, this is a great place to be if you want to do some fishing or hunting at Truman Lake.

Small pond on site and storm shelter. Cell coverage a bit shaky- park has wifi

Increase in the number of RVers has this place packed so a quick call and reservation to hold the site is recommended

Great owners

Perfectly nice place, very friendly staff, and really not much to complain about. The wifi signal was very weak in the tent sites, but useable. There is a train that goes by occasionally, but didnt bother me. Nice little fenced dog runs, was a cute touch. But at the end of the day it is basically like all KOA’s an RV parking lot with trees. Close to Springfield which is nice, and there arent a lot of great options around this area so it was fine for a one night stay over. Bonus points for being able to get a pizza delivered to my tent site.

This was a wonderful stay! We stayed one night, passing through. We called ahead of time and they directed us to the site and said they would be by later to pick up payment. It’s $20 a night and they have water and electricity. They offer a military discount! The sites were clean, quiet and cozy. BEAUTIFUL view. Off the highway, so good access but the noise wasn’t that bad at night. Fire pit and picnic table there. Stars were lovely at night. Owners were so nice! Our dog Lilly went and had a great time so dog friendly. Come here to relax, especially if you don’t want to stay at a big RV park.

Truman Lake was flooded three years ago, since then Sparrowfoot has been completely updated with new water and 110V/30A/50A hook-ups. It seems since the updates many of the sites would be considered Family Sites as many are adjoined. We are at A21 which is fine, but very close to the next site. However, A19 has a better lakeview. Our host Ron and Karen drove by to chat and said they'd move us to A-19 (which is already reserved). We may take them up on it if it doesn't effect the other campers. There is a "Cozy Corner" RV Park just outside the entrance to supposedly get supplies; although sign said OPEN no one was there. So the Host gave us firewood free and we gathered plenty of driftwood for our fires. Walmart and town is just a few minutes away. At 12:30am I can hear distance hiway traffic. But the site is dead quiet on a Wednesday night too. We checked the showers and toilet s, they were clean and had just been hosed down. Fishing from our site is abou 200'. A19 is about 100'. As I write this I can hear the coyotes coming in. Water pressure is great, electrical is fine. Dump station is about 3 minutes away. The coyotes are getting close so I'm wrapping up to go inside. We are SUPER stoked to go fishing in the morning and check out the Dam and area shoppes. We will definitely be back, only 90 min. drive from KC area.

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.

We stayed here for 3 weeks, full hookups, all large pull through sites, (don’t stay in site 16)… (see photo) clubhouse and shower house is kinda nasty but we don’t need it, 6-8 trailers live there year round, no staff on site, WiFi was sketchy but if you are just looking for a place to stay and explore the Ozarks it works.

Brendan and Teresa are an adotable young couple who are transforming a large area in the midst of Missouri farm country into a small black- and blueberry farm that includes a small RV camp. They also make and sell natural products (soaps, balms, etc.). They have constructed a cute rec house with darts, corn hole, even a little reading nook. There is a swing on the big tree in front of the rec house as well as horseshoe pits. Dispersed around the berry fields are hidden firepit areas for guests to enjoy. And you can pick berries for your breakfast!

They have built an exquisite shower room with cedar walls and river rock flooring, and there are bathrooms for guests as well.

Brendan and Teresa could not have been more accommodating. They presented us with a goody bag with s'mores fixings and a sample lip balm from their product line. And Brendan helped us with hose repair parts when our water hose jammed on the reel and we had to cut it off! First rate customer service.

The drawback for us is that (1) it is FAR from the main highway so not convenient for one-night stays and (2) the one site suitable for large RVs is not very level. We have a 40' Renegade Verona and it took 6 tries to find a place near the hookups where our auto-level would find a good position (no "excessive slope" error).

Also, we knew from the start there was only 30 amp service and no sewer, so we can't complain about that.

But for smaller RVs and boondockers, this is a charming getaway for families and anyone who enjoys getting away from it all.

Osage Prairie, Site #46 (46 total sites), long enough for tt and truck, gravel, full hookup, close, but not bad, on interstate service road, no major noise, wifi poor, $39 with mil discount, otherwise $44 per night, no cable tv, no OTA TV, needed two blocks to level, some mature trees, some short sites, some longer, make sure to ask for longer, 

We spent our first weekend at HVO. We stayed in the danceyard camp site with 30 amp electric only and plenty of trees. The newer RV sites have full hookups but no shade. Quiet hours run 10pm-7am which was nice for my young daughters. HVO does allow golf carts so you have to watch out for those zooming around. The camp store is amazing. They have a full menu including pizza for those days that you’re too tired to cook. The gravel bar was nice and close to our site. However the gravel bar isn’t huge so make sure to show up early to get a prime spot. Not a necessity for me but I did have full LTE on Verizon.

My family and I will definitely return in the future.

this is a fairly new area. there isn't much shade. the owners are great. it's right on the water. full hookups concert pull thru pads.
