Cedar Ridge is located on Stockton Lake in the scenic Ozark Mountains of southwestern Missouri. The lake and surrounding landscape offer countless recreational opportunities along nearly 300 miles of shoreline, providing visitors with many ways to explore one of the most sought-after natural areas in the state. Fishing, hunting, camping, sailing, boating and scuba diving are popular activities.
Boating is a popular pastime at the lake. Sailing is especially popular and the lake hosts several races each year. The campground provides two boat ramps for easy access to the water. A swimming beach and an accessible fishing dock are also on-site. The waters of Stockton Lake are home to several species of fish including small and largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, walleye, catfish and sunfish, making it an ideal destination for anglers.
The land surrounding the lake contains hundreds of acres of native prairie grasses, rolling hills and thick forests that turn crimson in autumn. An abundance of wildlife lives around the water, including wild turkey, Great Blue heron, deer and Bald eagles. Visitors can learn about the lake's Bald eagles at the area's annual eagle-watching event hosted each winter.
Three full-service marinas are located around the lake, offering a wide range of services and supplies, including boat rentals, fuel, fishing tackle and restaurants.

We have stayed at this campground several times and Anna is there to answer all your questions and really take care of you. This is close to Roaring River and Table Rock Lake. You are also close to Cassville if you’ve forgotten anything or want to eat out!

Stayed 3 nights. Weekend had a few family gatherings near us, but the weekdays we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Campground is well maintained with beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. We were in upper section (electric only) - the lower section next to the marina has full hookups. There are a few pull-through, but most sites are back-in and long enough for al most any rig.
Guide
We were just passing through and stayed for a night. We had sewer, water, and electric hookup. A nice dog park, and even found some 4 leaf clovers!
Guide
Stayed here for 4 nights during a visit with family. Park is clean. Staff is friendly. They make fresh pizza at the convenience store/office and will deliver it to your site. We were there 3 weeks before the pool opens so we didn't get a chance to see that. Nice park that's close to 1-44, James River Parkway, and unfortunately a railroad crossing. So you will hear a train horn on occasion, but no highway noise. We will come back here and stay again.

Bathrooms were clean but dated. Water spigots were well spaced. Ticks were very bad. Family sites were spacious but laid out like 2 separate sites. Would have been nice to have both tables together. Tent pads were advertised but non-existent.

Staying at Roaring River was on the tail end of our 15day & 4,500mi Motorcycle trip out to Colorado. My wife and I were excited sleep in a real bed for the first time in a week (vs tent/sleeping bags). We seemed to be the only tenants for the night, but we spent a good amount of time speaking with the owner before the sun set and setting up to cook dinner. The fire pits are nice and the ability to purchase a small bundle of dry firewood at the camp store on-site is very convenient. They also have snacks and beverages for sale, and are working on opening a short-order type restaurant, with an additional option for a pre-reserved nicer dinner. The bath house was very clean and equipped with full sized showers. The owners are great resources as well and are very friendly / accommodating.
There were 2 very minor negatives, both related to the fact that this location is brand new:
Overall I highly recommend staying at Roaring River Hills, and giving the glamping tents a try. So nice to be able to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors without all the unpacking, setup, repacking and susbstandard comfort of a sleeping bag. I am excited to ride back there in the next year to see the progress and maybe reserve one of their couples dinner packages, if they choose to pursue that as an option.
If staying here be sure to give your feedback to the owners about what you liked and would be interested in, vs their future plans. I could see this place becoming a hot spot in a beautiful area of the country.

This is a very nice park it’s $44 a night so a little more than I like to pay but it’s clean and has showers and laundry year around they said
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to have Roaring River Glamping Tent on our platform! Check them out and come back here to leave your review!
GuideFavorite campground on our road-trip so far. Shaded spots, clean bathhouses. Can rent boats. Nearby attractions.

They have everything you could want! Arcade, swimming pool, kids playground and a pond to fish. On top of those they have bathrooms & showers with a sauna in each and a laundry unit which are all very nice! I wouldn’t even call them owners because they definitely do not act like it, they’re the sweetest people you could meet along the way. They offer firewood to buy from them and propane as well if you run out on site and don’t want to drive anywhere. This is the best place we’ve stayed at yet!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Roaring River has a spot for everyone, from tents & RVs to luxurious glamping tents, you have to check them out. Make sure to share some pics of your stay on the Dyrt!
GuideEverything you would expect from KOA Holiday. Bathrooms appear to have been updated. Wifi test, 34 down, 25 up. Verizon spotty but ATT seemed good. Gravel site. Concrete pad with metal dinette. Firepit. Clean. Friendly staff. Premium sites had porch swings, grills and umbrellas
TravelerTent area is undeveloped, but the lawn is fairly level, bathrooms and showers are only a short walk away. Nicole showed me to the site and was a wonderful help. Great spot that most people might pass up because its right next to the highway, but honestly you can barely tell aside from the hum of trucks. Bathrooms are beautiful and clean, 2 toilets, 2 showers and a sauna in each. The place is quiet and seems like a lot of people here are long term residents. We are in a tent on the back lawn by a small fishing lake. Nice playground for younger kids and you cant beat the atmosphere and the birds. Free on-site laundry which I took advantage of when I needed to wash and dry my blanket on a cold night. Unfourtunately no campfire for tent camp sites, but bring a camp stove and you'll be fine. They are actively doing renovations and the office isnt open yet, so you have to call the park manager, Kim, for info and she is wonderful. All the staff is. Kim came by and took my son and 2 other kids on a golf cart ride on the trail behind the lake and they had a blast. We are loving it here and are sad to be leaving after the weekend. Update: I have just been informed they have a Willie Nelson impersonator doing a show here tonight, this place would get 6 stars if I could.
ScoutNice grounds with friendly staff. Spacious places. Unfortunately close to railroad crossing. Luckily few trains are passing.
ScoutVery nice campground, great owners, friendly atmosphere 👍
GuidePulled in here on a cross-country trip. They’re flexible, personable and responsive. Definitely recommend
TravelerEverything is great. Clean. But proximity to train crossing ruins the visit.
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.
TravelerThe store was awesome, staff was friendly and helpful, grounds were beautiful and sites great. Cabins looked awesome too! Would absolutely stay again
LegendThis isn’t my typical style of campground because this is more of a parking lot style camping. However, they have a really cool hang out area, a clear creek to play in, and a waterfall area to explore. I’d you are passing through, this is a great place to stop and rest for the night!
GuideThe most important thing I can tell you is the bathrooms smell like sewage and are dirty. I came to stay because I read how amazing it was. It is not. It’s kind of like staying in a giant parking lot. One side has trees the other a road. It was easy to get to the greenway and ride. However there is so much construction that it is better to create your own ride. So if you don’t mind a gross bathroom or you have an RV with one then it’s worth it. The people were very nice and helpful.
TravelerWorst nights sleep. The trains run through the crossing blowing the fog horns all night. On top of had a worker wake me up by knocking on my window at 8am to come pay as I came after hours. Then a guy cutting the grass on a ride on 5ft from my truck flicked a stone right into my door chipping the paint. Not to mention just had my truck which has been max $25 at every other campsite across the country but $50 here.
Travelerthis is where someone like me feels like im staying at a 5 star hotel. there was a burn ban in place at the time but they let me use my Biolite stove
ScoutShaded, great amenities, friendly staff, LOVE the pull throughs. I have a pop up that’s a pain to reverse. Almost all (if not all) these sites, you can pull through the actual site! Not the jsut the campground. 👌🏽
GuideIts parking lot-type RV sites, but in a fairly narrow valley between historically & naturally interesting wooded trails. The birdsong this spring at dawn & dusk coming from both sides was tremendous. Showers (3) & WC (3) & laundry (3 washers & dryers) with a sort of library addition.
Guide
We stayed at Big M in campsite 44 in mid-May. The campground was definitely lively and there was a lot of people and activity going on the whole time, though everyone was very pleasant. It was more college kids/large families than the quiet retired crowd. Our campsite had a lot of privacy on 3 sides and had a small creek running through a ways behind it, downhill. There really wasn't a good level spot for our tent due to where the firepit was placed so we had to sleep on an incline. And the drive for the spot was at a pretty decent incline so a camper would definitely need to be leveled. A smaller tent could probably squeeze in well. The marina had a decent restaurant where you could get a beer and dinner. It's not too far of a drive from Roaring River which has lots of hiking trails. The bathrooms were pretty outdated and you need to bring your own hand soap, but that's pretty normal. The showers were a ways away from our site so did not end up seeing them.
TravelerWe booked this site online the day before check in because it seemed to have decent reviews and would suit our needs for one night. After front tire blow out that we ended up on the side of the road for 7 hours with, amidst tornado warnings and severe winds, a severed hydraulic line and body damage, on the road the day of check in, we called for a late check in. Knowing we were going to be there late and needing repairs I went online to reserve a second night so we could stay over. We ended up arriving at around 2 am. The site seemed ok for the night. The spots were narrow and the trees tight for a Class A Motorhome, and the sites were potholed but we couldn’t level anyway because of our road mishap. Then the train started going by at all hours of the night and morning blowing it’s horn, was very difficult to sleep. When we woke up around 10:30 am, we called the office to make sure that we didn’t have to move. The host or employee we spoke to was not able to find our reservation and didn’t care at all to help us. We had let them know what happened on the road and she didn’t even care or pretend to offer a “glad you were safe” or anything. She “could fit us into a 30 amp” but that wasn’t going to work for us with our rig we needed 50 amps. We then walked over to the office to show them the check in email and screenshots of the reservation. They really didn’t care at all to help us. They were very cold and uncaring and didn’t even pretend to be concerned about helping. They obviously just wanted us to leave which We asked for other parks and they “didn’t really know”.
We ended up calling another park 10 miles away and they got us a spot right away, before check in and ended up being the nicest kindest people you could want to know.
