This is a beautiful area with a lot of camping spots. Campground 1 is down by the water and really meant for the big rigs. Most of the other campgrounds (5 total) also have plenty of space to spread out. We saw plenty of 5th wheels up in the other campgrounds. Many had electric, though don't think many have water. Which is fine for a long weeked or something - just fill up the freshwater before heading out.
Of course if you like fishing this is a wonderful place. Not my thing, but I enjoyed people watching.
Asked for a lake view cabin. We were the only ones here since it was a weekday after labor day so all cabins were open. I go to check in and it's a long sidewalk between narrow rails. Not at all easy if you are disabled and with my COPD, I had to stop several times.
I get cabin 6. If you go here DO NOT GET CABIN 6. It's the only one you can't park in front of as it's down the side of a hill. You must traverse several levels of steps down a steep grade. The office hours are over by now so I hauled what we needed down.
The lake view was somewhere past the forest so I'll take their word on that.
The refrigerator was filthy and we had no hot water. Since it was after hours all we could do is clean the fridge, make supper and wait till 9 in the morning to call maintenance.
Maintenance arrives and determine the elements are bad. At about 10:30am they started working. Spent most of our only full day watching them fix the water heater. The maintenance guys were very nice but I'm not leaving my stuff with strangers.
So basically, I spent $200 to sit on a deck with acorns falling on us or on the world's most uncomfortable couch as they worked on getting me hot water. Early morning fishing was shot.
They did say we could now switch cabins but I would need to move our stuff back up Mt Fk-That just to move it again into the new cabin, then back out again tomorrow.
It is a lovely area and the people are friendly but they need to do better. Also, warn people that cabin 6 is more cliff side than lake side.
This camp ground is a little hidden gem and so pretty! It has running water bathroom and showers! They are so kind and aware. They make shuttling your personal watercraft SO easy! This camp are is very clean and family friendly! The river was pretty!
My favorite place to camp!! Can't wait to go again.
My family used to stay here every year. Owners are just not very friendly. You get told 2 different prices over the phone compared to when you get there. Overall is a nice camp ground pretty quiet. Pretty river.
My family and I come here every year the owners are great. Camp ground is quiet and family friendly.
The manager/owner went above and beyond. We called and said we would be there at around 6:30 (the office closed at 6) and arrived a little later than that. He was waiting for us.
We got a spot down by the river, started a fire, had dinner and went to sleep to the sound of the river running. The place is beautiful and I wish I had more time to spend there. I will definitely be going back when I can spend three of four nights.

The cabin was disgusting 🤢 bugs crawling in the fridge, door was held together with a wire hanger. Rudest staff I've ever encountered.
We called because we were just on the road and I could hear the lady in the background yelling at the camp host I was talking with. She was being very rude. We reserved a site and only gave us 2 options. Web said 20.00 to camp FHU. They also charge 10.00 a person so plan on spending around $50.00 a night. Doubt we will be back. Just not worth that.
We enjoy campgrounds 2 and 3. Spacious sites, nice campground store, trout fishing, beautiful area for hiking, river floating options in the area. Sure are always clean and you're sure to see a few deer! Most does do not have water so fill up before parking.
We stayed this past Memorial weekend. We had excellent wifi and T-mobile cell service with 5G while we stayed there, Very clean.They were pretty full with it being a holiday weekend.
Well I've went here for many years loved camping and also we did a 14 mile float trip would always get rafts and canoes and kayaks prolly the most family friendly environment defiantly will ke3p coming back in the future.
When you get here be sure to know which site you are at, the Hermitage site is right on the water but no water hookups, we set up “The big Kahuna” our rig here on the 30amp hookup with water. Nice and spacious. Peaceful and two great hikes within 10 minutes of each other.
I stayed in the tent camping area. The host was very helpful with everything. I was right next to the river, and the sounds of the water made everything tranquil. There is a ton of space for tents and RVs, and the road in is well paved. In the morning, a bald eagle flew up the river.
Spacious and mostly level sites, which is outstanding as this park is on face of a hill. We stayed in march so leaves are off the trees and could hear road noise. Very nice stay.
The campground is set up for all varieties of camping. My 35 ft. Fifth wheel is about max length to make the campground roads. Otherwise, All pads are level asphalt so minimal pad shimming necessary. Park staff and hosts on hand, so the park is extremely clean with a wholesome atmosphere. The Shower and restroom facilities well kept. There is quality shade if summer camping.
All the typical amenities of a KOA, but very small and the spots are pretty tight. Felt like we were sharing our campfire with the neighbors. Close to Bennett Springs!
Had a great time in a spacious cabin with full kitchen and bath. Comfortably held 5 of us in one cabin. A little busier than I like, but fun to watch all the fly fisherfolk. Niangua River was gorgeous and so fun to swim in (clear all the way to the bottom). Caught tadpoles with our hands and watched tiny fish. Lots of chiggers was the only downfall. Hiking trails were great with natural bridges and caves. Super fun time!
This great little campground on the Gasconade River was a delight. I had a camper and the full hook up was awesome. They have a cabin, a little retro camper and a large guest house for those who don’t have a camper or want to tent.
Firewood brought to your campsite upon request. Shower house. Open spaces. Katie and her crew are awesome.
Float this great river and end up at your camp. Beautiful river that does not have any jet boats. Make this one of the places to visit for sure.
It’s my favorite place to stay at the lake of the ozarks! I love the atmosphere and friendly staff and other campers. Stayed here with other friends and families several times. Always clean and cared for. Nice outdoor pool! Kids love the mini golf, shuffleboard, and basketball. Huge private lake great for fishing and watching duck families swim by and come up to you on the grass! And I always enjoy the evenings sitting by the campfire making memories with everyone.
Lynn Creek KOA is a mediocre resort. The pool and the bathroom facilities are pros, and the sites have trees for added shade.
But the cons outweigh those pros, as the sites are all gravel with very little grass, deferred maintenance is an issue for electric & water outlets, the noise from the freeway running in front of the resort is unbearable at all hours, and the flies are biting nonstop.
Great location where you can float the Piney and Gasconade and float back into your camp! The last 1/2 mile are the same float.
Great for Trout fishing, and hiking in the woods. Only con is that they pack in the sites. We are in 449, which seems nice looking into the woods out the side of the trailer(and the neighbir sites were empty), but the other sites were tight together.
We visited Bennet Spring State Park on 4/2/22 for one night to camp with some friends.
We stayed at site 440 with our Sierra 2500 & Keystone Springdale 2820BH.
The site was easy to back into, and had plenty of room for our truck & rig. This site is electric only, no water or sewer.
The hatchery was really neat to see, and the spring was stunning! We enjoyed watching the fisherman & seeing all the beautiful trout. We can’t wait to visit again!
**The water is not turned on in Loop 1 until April 15th.
Quiet, setting with a very helpful park staff.
Lake of the Ozarks is amazing lots to see and do place was clean and people were friendly
