Best Campgrounds near Gainesville, MO

Stopped in for one night on my way through southern Missouri and so glad I did. Super friendly hosts, newer RV Park, great amenities! Loved the clean and well appointed restrooms, showers and laundry. Also have a large fire pit on site, picnic tables and plenty of space for your pup to run! Will definitely stop again if I am in the area.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving.  The campground was about 1/3 full .  The people working here are very nice! I think the campground would get a 5 if there were more pull-thru sites and the bath houses were a little more updated.  We will definitely stay here again when in Branson.

Quiet in December. Good shower and laundry facilities.

Blue Heron cabin was awesome! It was so so clean, and beautiful! Over looking the water can’t get any better! The cabin was so nice! Michael was great to work with and very professional and very nice! Can’t wait till next time ❤️

Right in town but actually quite. Bathrooms very clean nice laundry area and cheap.

Great trip. Beautiful campground. Beautiful scenery

You will love this campground.  It's a beautiful rv resort next to the water.  Step out of your rv and you will see some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the United States.  Michael is the director of the campground and he is so very helpful and congenial.  We travel to many states but this campground is our very favorite and if you like or love to fish, this is your place!  Go see for yourselves and we will probably see you there!!

This beautiful campground in classic Ozark hardwoods is a haven for things with motors. Bikes, ATVs, gold carts, all manners of off-road thingies, and the louder the better. At the same time, it was clean, folks were respectful, and it was quiet after dark. Enough Verizon signal to get Facebook. Some sites have electricity.

Decent campground with excellent trout fishing! The campground layout was kinda weird and the dump station was in an odd spot. However, we had a nice river front site that we really enjoyed. Lots of nice people in the campground and on the river. Be sure to visit the hatchery across the street. . Limited AT&T service. Individual Private suite style bathrooms. Playground. No store, no firewood for sale. Level sites. Several sites have covers over the picnic tables. .

This location has been a great place. It is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and the area is peaceful. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a campground in Branson Mo. It is also a short and scenic drive to what ever suites you in Branson.

An update since all other reviews are a couple of years old.    Nothing has changed.  Except I imagine the price!   Accurately depicted above.   A bit of road noise, which comes with the convenience.   Clean.  Friendly.   A bit packed in there as far as the sites go.   Site 42 is empty and looks like a winner to me.   Town has plenty to offer for stocking up on a trip.   We would stay again if passing through.

No amenities other than composting toilets. There are a few tent sites along the road and there is plenty of grassy area near the creek for RVs/trailers. This is a horse camp with plenty of evidence, but it was only us and a couple of other tent campers.

The creek was obviously spring fed, crystal clear and had a gravelly bottom. There were plenty of places to get in the water...understanding that this is horse camp.

The place was well maintained and mowed and it was super peaceful and quiet. The main annoyance was some trash in fire pits along the creek.

If you consider this as a waypoint, two things:

1. There is about a mile of dusty, gravel road that is a little rough.

2. We had great T-Mobile 10 miles south, but it dropped to zero by the time we drove into camp.

We had a good visit here. Basic but did the trick and the owner was really friendly and helpful.

This is our 5-6 year to stay here. Over the years, we have seen so many b improvements to this area.. it’s always a great time. Michael, the host, is just an all around great guy. We are looking forward to our next stay

Very small park. Restaurant and store are Nextdoor. Spots are large. We were the only campers in the park.

We have stayed with them twice. Spots are strategically placed and surrounded by woods. The owner is very kind and informative guiding you to your spot and helping you park. He will also give his favorite local recommendations for restaurants and attractions. He’s a veteran. Never had any issues with anything.
