      COE Beaver Lake Prairie Creek Campground

      It’s great once you find the site that isn’t too narrow, steep or pavement broken. It’s like Cinderella’s slipper. We did find the perfect fit and enjoyed our stay. It’s quiet, wooded and has been pretty empty all week.

      COE Beaver Lake Prairie Creek Campground

      Signage

      Signage is poor and difficult to find your site. They are not kidding about tight quarters…bigger rigs will have to back up hilly and crooked road.

      Sugar Camp Lookout Tower Dispersed Area

      Black Bears

      Camped with tent. Just left at 2 am with black bear sniffing our heads. Scared away it but came back shortly after, maybe 5 minutes. Scary with young children. Probably our own fault since it's peak black bear season, just first time we've had one sniffing our heads.

      Roaring River State Park Campground

      Great Park

      The campsites are well maintained. There are limited primitive sites that book fairly quickly. We stayed at an electric site due to no primitive sites being available. Keep an eye on the weather as several of the campgrounds are at risk of flooding.

      Roaring River State Park Campground

      Accessible and lots to do

      We stopped for the night while passing through MO. Tons of spots open on a Monday in August. Cindy at the park office was so friendly and helpful. She suggested spot 100 in campground 2 since it backs onto the river. Lovely sounds! Lots of trout in the river - at that spot, it’s only about 1 foot deep so it was fun to wade in the water and let the pup run around.

      Good park store, dump station, trash and lots of hikes to do. Too bad we simply stayed the night

      Camp Mi Casa on the Route RV Park

      Bait & Switch

      I would not recommend Camp Mi Casa based on my experience. When I originally chose this park, the website clearly advertised the monthly rate as $500 plus electric. After I arrived, however, I was told the price was $700 per month. There was no written lease or rental agreement explaining the difference. I paid the $700 for the first month. The following month I was charged another $700. Then I received a bill for $738 with no itemization explaining the additional $38. When I questioned the difference between the advertised $500 rate and the $700 I was being charged, management refused to correct the website price. I was also told that what I was paying was a “subscription” rather than rent, which I found very strange. For comparison, I eventually moved to another RV park. They charge $450 per month plus electric, exactly as advertised, and I received a clear receipt showing what I paid and what the deposit was for. My issue isn't simply that Camp Mi Casa charges $700. A business can charge whatever it wants. My problem is advertising one price and then charging a different price after the customer arrives, without a written agreement or clear itemized billing. I would strongly recommend getting the exact monthly price, all fees, and the terms in writing before committing to a stay at Camp Mi Casa. My experience was enough that I chose to take my business elsewhere.

    Guide to Diamond

    Near Diamond, Missouri, RV camping options extend beyond city limits into adjacent towns like Joplin, Carthage, and Sarcoxie. The area features rolling Ozark foothills with elevations ranging from 900-1,100 feet and mild seasonal weather patterns that support year-round camping. Most campgrounds in this region sit close to Highway 44 and historic Route 66, making them convenient stopover points with varying degrees of highway noise.

    What to do

    Hiking and biking trails access: Blowing Springs RV Park in nearby Bella Vista offers immediate access to extensive trail networks. "This camp ground is close to a mecca of both biking and mountain biking trails. Nice bath area, only if it is hot outside it is hot in there," notes one visitor. The campground connects directly to the Back 40 trail system.

    Fishing opportunities: Zans Creekside RV Park provides direct creek access for fishing. "The river is pretty, seems like great fishing opportunity. We were just passing through so we didn't fish," mentions a camper. The park sits along Shoal Creek with multiple access points for anglers.

    Casino entertainment: Several RV parks offer proximity to casino entertainment. A visitor to Whispering Woods RV Park notes, "Easy to get in and out. Free shuttle to the casino if desired. Nice bathhouse and showers." Many parks near Diamond offer similar casino access with shuttle services.

    What campers like

    Easy highway access: Travelers appreciate quick on/off interstate convenience. At Downstream RV Park, a guest commented, "Clean. Safe. Great for an overnight on our way from Joplin to OK City. $30 for electricity and water. Easy check in and plenty of spots." Most Diamond-area parks advertise similar highway proximity.

    Concrete parking pads: Level sites with solid surfaces rank highly in camper reviews. "The sites were VERY level with concrete pads throughout the park," noted visitors to several area campgrounds. Concrete pads reduce setup time and prevent sinking during wet weather.

    Pet-friendly policies: Most RV parks near Diamond welcome pets with designated exercise areas. One visitor to Beagle Bay RV Haven Campground highlighted, "They have everything you could want! Arcade, swimming pool, kids playground and a pond to fish." The campground maintains designated pet areas and cleanup stations.

    What you should know

    Limited tent camping options: Most parks near Diamond focus primarily on RV accommodations with few tent sites. At Zans Creekside RV Park, a reviewer observed, "There are no designated sites for tents, and that means there are also no picnic tables or grills for tents." Call ahead to confirm tent availability.

    Highway noise varies: Proximity to highways means traffic noise at some locations. "It is a bit noisy due to Main highway is not that far away but not overwhelming," commented a camper at Downstream RV Park. Sites further from road frontage generally offer quieter experiences.

    Reservation systems differ: Some parks require advance booking while others operate first-come basis. At Big Red Barn RV Park, a visitor noted, "We arrived after the office had closed - there was a prominent note on the door as to which site to use." Check individual park policies before arrival.

    Tips for camping with families

    Pool and playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated family amenities. A Beagle Bay visitor shared, "They have everything you could want! Arcade, swimming pool, kids playground and a pond to fish." Family-oriented facilities typically charge higher nightly rates but include these amenities.

    Separate tent and RV areas: Families appreciate designated camping sections. One camper at Blowing Springs noted, "What I like about this campground is that the tent sites are separate from the RV area, and RV's don't have to go through the tents to get to their area." This separation reduces noise conflicts.

    Seasonal activities: Many RV campgrounds near Diamond offer special events during peak seasons. At Big Red Barn RV Park, a visitor mentioned, "They had a 4th of July celebration for the guests!" Call ahead to learn about scheduled activities during your stay.

    Tips from RVers

    Monthly rental options: Long-term stays offer significant discounts. "Got card then went to gift shop to get space. Site had electric and water. Community sewer drop with washout," explained a Downstream RV Park visitor regarding extended stay procedures. Monthly rates typically run 50-75% less than nightly rates.

    Passport America discounts: Several campgrounds near Diamond accept discount camping memberships. One camper at Downstream RV Park mentioned, "Passport America stop, 17.50 per night." These discounts typically apply to non-peak periods and weekday stays only.

    Bathroom access codes: Many parks use keypad entry for facilities. A Big Red Barn visitor advised, "Make sure you get the access code to the bathrooms before your stay. The code was not included in our email confirming the arrangement." Facilities generally remain locked for security purposes with code access provided at check-in.
