Stayed here here for one night in early September during our trip to Wyoming. Paid $10 with interagency senior discount. Stayed in the B Loop. We were one of 5 campers here; camped in a camper van. Our sie, B46, was close to a clean vault toilet (which has tp). Short walk to clean restroom/shower house; this building also has a laundry room. The sites have a level gravel driveway; most sites are back-in. Spacing between sites is okay; no privacy between sites. Even though the campground is along a lake, the sites at B Loop offer no lake views. Hosts seemed friendly. Did not see any hiking opportunities at this loop. There is a path to the lake at the back end of the loop. There is nothing special about this campground, but it is a good, clean, quiet location for an overnight stay. I had excellent T-Mobile 5G service. I would stay here again.
Scout
Nice place, but just didn't care for how much the cops drove threw nonstop, we are camping to get away from people and doesn't make me feel at peace wondering why so many cops always drive thru.
ScoutBeautiful camp ground will definitely come back with my family!
Ranger
Nice to spend the night. Friendly staff and clean bath/shower facilities. Close proximity to the interstate does come with some traffic noise. Many retail options within a short drive.
GuideWe offer a perspective on RV camping "off peak" (late fall and early spring). This KOA has a nice eastern exposure for morning sun, and lots of pull through sites. On the downside, if you're sensitive to nearby road noise, there's a lot of Jake Brakes on I-70 which, at least in the absence of tree foliage, is all over the park.
LegendThis campground would get 5 stars for being family friendly and the activities they have for kids. 3 stars for grumpy old people who don’t like kids noises past 8pm, lol. Staff were pleasant and sites were level. Close together typical of KOA. Did not use the facilities. Wifi is marginal. Right off the interstate, so the truck noises were there Clean, safe, would stay again if passing thru.
GuideWe stayed overnight. Arrived late and left early. Bathrooms were clean and it did the job for an overnight stay.
GuideGood overnight stay, we wouldn’t stay longer than that, but definitely a good a d convenient place for overnight. Bathrooms were clean, easy to get to from interstate.

Great campground (Sunflower) The host's are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The trees in the sites are small saplings, give them a few more years, and they will be nice.
TravelerNice camp host. Was quiet. Was less than half full. Clean shower house and vaulted facilities. Will return.
GuideThis campsite is beautiful. Loop B is much quieter with fewer guests. Loop A is a little more busy. Loop A: 2 smaller loops of campsites. A17,18,19 are very close to a little walkway that goes down to the lake. These spots are very hot and sunny in the morning, but shaded in the afternoon. Loop A has 1 set of nonflushable toilets that were surprisingly clean. Loop B: this is where the shower house and flushable toilets are. Showers were clean and water was hot. Showers had good water pressure. Loop B also has the playground which is right behind site B47. It’s a newer playground and all equipment was nicely maintained. There are no swings. Only complaint is that there are no benches or picnic tables at the playground so bring your camping chair if you plan to stay awhile. Further past Loop B the road turns to gravel and there is a parking lot with a walkway to the lake. This offers some small bluffs with deep water for jumping off. If you walk further around the corner to the right, it turns into a nicer “beach” style area with few rocks, although the mud can be a little thick after it rains. When we were here (July) the lake was pretty muddy but I’m not sure if it’s always that way or not. It was also pretty low, but still had plenty of fun and kayaked through all the little coves.
GuideGreat hosts. Nice shady spots with water and electric.
RangerOutstanding park! Huge sites, brand new poswer poles, shaded, amd well patrolled for am extra feeling of safety. We had a great weekend! In the A amd B loops, very minimal cell service and very little opportunity to stream on the TVs. I also couldn't get any over the air channels but we weren't there to watch TV!

Just got back after 2 days there. Sites are spaced a good distance apart, nice clean lots with fire ring, picnic table and 30 amp. The flush restrooms are cleaned everyday and very nice. I picked site 69 which overlooks the lake and was less than 30 yards from water edge. Site very from 100% sun to 100% shade so you have a lot to choose from. Highly recommend it to anyone will will be back soon.
ScoutSimple trails, good online same day reservation system, sites list grade so you can find an even surface for your vehicle.
TravelerWay off the beaten path but we had a good time. The campground was clean and everyone was nice. It did get a little rowdy on the weekend but folks respected the quiet hours.
Bathrooms decent with showers.
T-Mobile and Verizon in places. Hard to get in a camper Several sites that can take advantage of Starlink.
RangerGreat trail network and very nice stock mo state park campground. There are 3 separate trail systems that do not connect, so take a minute with the map.
RangerSite 47 right on the water great for kayaking and swimming. Water in the lake is high this time of year but fun is still to be had via fishing. Biking. Boating and kayaking
TravelerJust got back from 2 nights and could not be more pleased with the experience. Very well layout grounds, well marked camp sites, excellence shower, flush toilets and washer/dryer available and all public areas were very clean. I was at B lot Site 17 but would be better if water hookup was also at each site although public facet was close. Besides that, it was a wonderful weekend. Highly recommend this campground to anyone.
GuideTruman 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.
GuideCool weekend at a great lake right before things turned green. Closed last year to redo the electric, enjoyed Site 181 at Scott Creek, west side of Hillsdale Lake.
Still a little cool and gray, but nice 60 degree weekend.
GuideNice COE campground. Sites were spacious with 50 Amp hook ups. Some sites had been receantly redone, new grass, rock pads and elec pedestals. There was no CG host so the reason for a one star for service but park was quiet and had no problems. Clean rest rooms and showers. We were on our way to Branson so it was just a one night stop. We camped at Sparrowfoot in a Travel Trailer.12.00@ Night with America The Beautiful pass.
TravelerThe bathrooms are nice, fully functioning toilet, sink, and shower. The sites have nice trees for shade and are nicely spaced for hammocking. We went during the end of the usual camping season and had no problem getting a spot and didn't have anyone beside us. It was nice to hear the aircrafts from the base and next time we will bring our kids so they can experience it too. We will be returning since it was such a nice place with everything we needed.
LegendClean restrooms & shower stalls. RVs are packed in with little privacy in between. Camp host was friendly & helpful.
Scout
It is full yet it says open on the site
TravelerThe first time I drove my RV, I entered the KOA camp. I felt very good. The staff was very service attitude and the camp environment was also good! The bathroom is very clean and tidy!
ScoutEasy to reserve online, but the camp registration office was closed when we rolled in right after 5. The tent campsites are just a small patch of turf, but they do have tables and a nice fire pit. It was a little noisy as everyone was on top of each other and we did get a little bit of sewage smell at our site. Pool and mini golf are awesome!
