GuideWe really enjoyed our stay here! It was the week after Labor Day and was mostly vacant, making for a quiet stay. Love the amenities for kids! The only reason I give 4 stars is the dog policy— it’s very strict, and there isn’t a dog park type area to let pets off leash to play & get energy out.
LegendOf all the KOAs I have visited I was very eager to check out this one. Close to Springfield and not to far from the turn off to Wilson Creek Battlefield this one just kinda made sense for a visit.
When I ventured to check it out I quickly noticed that the site spacing was not the best when it came to the RVs, it looked claustrophobic. When it came to the tent sites I felt a bit more like I could breathe and stretch out. Kind of strange that this was the case as usually the RV section at a KOA is more accommodating, in my own personal experiences.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and the overall amenities were pretty inclusive. Some of course obvious upgrades coming at additional charges while others were standard.
In true KOA fashion there is WIFI, which I personally always welcome because I work remotely and sometimes do not have the best of signal. Additionally they had standard features such as a dog park area, playground for the kiddos and a pool, although the pool is not open year round like some.
A few things that were a bit less common however, they had a pet play room which was pretty cool and though I don't travel with my pets found it to be a very friendly touch. I also noticed that in addition to snacks you could pick up in the store they also had pizza during certain times if you were not wanting to use your own kitchen or the common space camp kitchens.
I was pretty impressed overall but with all the good there were those claustrophobic rv sites I just couldn't get past and the pricing of a KOA always hurts the pockets a bit more even with them being nice and the common kitchen area I was attempting to use and had a few issues, this could have been just when I was visiting so I don't want to completely hold that against them but it was having issued.
TIPS:
* Visit Wilson's Creek Battlefield to explore, learn and hike. When you come to this KOA it obviously does not have any hiking, but the battlefield offers a lengthy system of trails .* Bass Pro's home is Springfield, MO so you will not only find the largest Bass Pro there but also a unique museum of all animals which is quite spectacular.
ScoutMy 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.
ScoutWe overnighted here on the way to Hot Springs, AR. Convenient to Interstate 49, but virtually no traffic noise and none while inside the van. We arrived after the office had closed - there was a prominent note on the door as to which site to use. Electrical hookup was fine - we did not use water or cable. There were about a dozen other campers - most appeared to be long termers. The CG was VERY quiet - very peaceful. They have an off-leash dog park area which our dogs loved and used it 3-4 times the nite we were there. The bathrooms were toasty warm and VERY clean. Lavatory hot water got warm quickly, plenty of soap and towels. The office has various items for sale, from snacks to RV gear. Would not hesitate to stay again - in fact, may do so next week on our return trip.
ScoutThis is a great, friendly campground, off the highway about a mile, so no highway noise. Very pet friendly. Long wide sites that have grass, patios and picnic tables. Open year round!
TravelerKimmy’s is amazing! Always friendly and clean. Lots of activities for any outdoor adventures. Hiking kayaking swimming and lots of laughs come with Kimmy’s crew. They go out of their way to make your stay wonderful! If the pond on site is not big enough Stockton Lake is just minutes away or maybe you enjoy kayaking the Sac River is very close as well. Shuttle service is right up the road if needed. Keep your eyes peeled you may just find a message rock or two. We frequent Kimmy’s several times each summer and by far our absolute favorite campground in Missouri. And they are pet friendly too!
LegendAfter reading a couple of reviews on this new campground (CG), we called about availability and got someone at Lambert’s Cafe who was not much help. We arrived at this new RV park addition to Lambert’s Cafe from I-57 with no issues. Coming in from I-57, we followed the signs for Lamberts and J.T. RV Park on the left side of the road. The entrance to the RV area is the second entrance into Lambert’s main parking lot. You follow the signage back to the CG which sits off to the right and behind Lambert's. This CG is first-come-first-serve. There’s a sign at the kiosk that states sites 6, 7, 8, 9, 27, 28, 29, 30,& 31 are for stays of one week or longer. We selected and parked in site 25 with FHUs, and then went back to the kiosk and paid our$40. The sites are narrow and very close to each other but this was on a Sunday and the park was fairly empty. There were about five transients overnight along with the four long-termers so having someone next to you was not an issue. There is no fire pit, picnic table, cable, or WiFI. One of the long-termers told me there’s a plan to put in a shower house, restrooms, and other amenities. We do not know if this is factual as we did not see any camp-host type of person during our stay. The CG is in an industrial area and we heard backing beeps at about 2:00 AM for a few minutes but other than that it was not bad for this type of area near a main road. We noticed a long-term resident taking their dog out and not picking up after the pet, which seemed to be common based on the'land mines' we noted while walking our dogs around. There is a dump station here that is a $10 fee if not staying in the CG. Lambert's Cafe is within easy walking distance. We had good water pressure at 50 psi and 4 bars on Verizon. This place is pretty much a parking lot with no trees so no problem with satellite. We got a good variety of OTA stations as well. This CG was a little on the pricey side for what you get unless maybe you are a huge Lambert’s Cafe fan. No surprises at this new RV Park as the sites are pretty much level and the roads easy to navigate. However, this place worked for an overnighter.
GuideCampsites accommodate up to 20 people. There are toilet facilities as well as a place to get water. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed. =[
TravelerGreat staff! Biggins in the ponds, and great music events! The rv park at the top of the hill is great and pet friendly!
Fish on!
Camping opportunities near Everton, Missouri center around Stockton Lake, where the Corps of Engineers maintains multiple campgrounds at elevations ranging from 850-950 feet. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters, creating a camping season that typically runs April through October. Water levels at Stockton Lake fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline access at certain campgrounds.
Fishing opportunities: Visit Crabtree Cove for easy lake access. "We had a very good weekend and will camp in this spot again," shares Phillip G., who enjoyed the "nice path down to the lake with some seating area to put your feet in the water."
Blackberry picking: Explore B Berry Farms & Co. for a unique camping experience. "We enjoyed picking black berries right next to our campsite to have with breakfast in the morning," reports Nick S., adding that "the camp site had everything we needed including a fire pit, grill, picnic table, water spout and bath room nearby."
Swimming: Access beaches at Orleans Trail where families can enjoy water recreation. "The sandy swim beach is clean and fun, even off-season," notes Kenna P., who recommends it as "a great place for boating" with "lots of places to hike and fish."
Privacy: At Hawker Point, campers appreciate secluded sites. "This particular site was just up the hill from the lake and completely private. The walk to the lake was about 50 yards and a little steep but we managed to carry two kayaks down and up without too much trouble, and it was totally worth the effort because it was as if we had our own private cove," reports Lea B.
Clean facilities: Find well-maintained grounds at Cedar Ridge Campground. "Camp host is polite and shower house is kept clean," notes Laura H., though she cautions that the "vault toilet by the boat ramp is sketchy (where tent camping is located)."
Seasonal considerations: Off-season camping offers unique benefits. "My family has been camping here in October- after winterization, thus no water- for decades," shares a camper at Orleans Trail, noting that it's "a quiet place to camp off-season."
Topography affects tent site selection: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain. At Cedar Ridge, Laura H. notes that "several of the tent sites do not have level areas for your tent," while site selection at other locations requires attention to ground conditions.
Shower access varies significantly: At Hawker Point, Dean D. mentions "you have drive half a mile to get to them," while other campgrounds offer no shower facilities at all.
Train noise: When staying at Springfield - Route 66 KOA, be prepared for occasional train disturbances. Steven N. warns, "Because you're going to see and hear a lot of them, as there is a train track very close to the site," though he adds "if it wasn't for the trains coming by blowing their horns, this would easily be a favorite spot."
Dog friendly campgrounds near Everton: Look for multiple pet-friendly options. "The kids loved watching the sailboats on this part of the lake. They also love the Sandy Beach," mentions Ashley W. at Cedar Ridge, which welcomes pets and offers family-friendly water access.
Activity options: Choose campgrounds with recreation facilities. B Berry Farms includes "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," according to Angela M.
Family sites: Request specific loops for better family experiences. At Hawker Point, a camper advises, "A loop consists of full hookup sites and many sit right on the water. Little shade and crowded, but if you like to play on the lake all day these might be for you. B loop had pretty wooded sites but many were not close to the water. C loop is where it's at!"
Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven sites at some campgrounds. At B Berry Farms, Angela M. reports, "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."
Hookup availability: Check services before booking. Most dog friendly campgrounds near Everton offer limited hookups. Cedar Ridge provides "power only, water and dump separate," according to cody, while Orleans Trail offers some electric sites in certain loops.
Site access considerations: Scout your location before committing. At Hawker Point, one camper found that "RV sites are very crowded and no extra space to park your car or boat," while Springfield KOA offers more spacious options for larger vehicles.
