"Price is definitely reasonable and the bathroom at campground 5 is VERY nice, running water and hot showers."
"After one visit, this became one of my favorite state parks. This is one of Missouri’s’ “trout parks” with a hatchery and release sites so fishing (which actually becomes catching) is a big draw."
"Sites are nice with a parking pad, picnic table, campfire ring with grill, and lantern post. Great general store on property! Can’t wait to come back again. They’re supposed to be adding more soon."
"We stayed in the danceyard camp site with 30 amp electric only and plenty of trees. The newer RV sites have full hookups but no shade. Quiet hours run 10pm-7am which was nice for my young daughters."
$250 / night
"Nestled in the woods just beyond Bennett Springs State Park is just a slice of camping heaven!"
"Taken our travel trailer (34 feet), water/electric hookup, sewer dump onsite. Nice store, showers, and beautiful area along the river to relax, float, fish, etc. "
"Felt like we were sharing our campfire with the neighbors. Close to Bennett Springs!"
"Great campground, very clean bathrooms, nice pool and playground. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating."
$5 - $100 / night
"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."
"They had a fire pit in the middle of the river which was so cool and did a pork steak dinner one of the nights. The sites along the river are great for primitive camping. "
$25 - $48 / night
"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!"
"The cabins don’t look like much from the outside, but inside they are wonderful. Showers were hot and the campground is clean and quiet. Perfect for families."
"I camped here a year ago and since then they’ve added at least one cabin. It’s still very family friendly and even during the COVID outbreak, they remained positive and helpful."
$7 - $48 / night
"The camp site had everything we needed including a fire pit, grill, picnic table, water spout and bath room nearby."
"Found this place on a whim through Missouri. Was looking for dispersed camping and not much popped up in the area. So campgrounds were next up."
$50 - $150 / night
"A short distance from Bennett Spring State Park where the beauty and serenity of the area continues!"
"Didn't have any problems with the people around us but we were in the family area. Now camping is free if you float with them and it does get crowded on the weekends."

TravelerTwo parks in one. The Hermitage and The Pittsburgh. We chose the 400 loop of Pittsburgh for its secluded spots. Spaces are not stacked on top of each other. You’re in the woods so take bug spray. Level paved lots to choose from. Fire rings and covered picnic tables. Lots of shade.
RangerA hatchery on site, trout fishing daily limit 4. Nice stop over on a road trip, honored Access pass for discount, level site, showers, easy drive from a nearby town. Site was level, table fire pit, grill, lantern hook, access to dumpster n n water, on site dump station. There is a pool in lower part of campground as well as restraunt, store, did not use these facilities.
GuideOur first camping adventure in the popup took us to Pomme de Terre State Park on Father’s Day of 2017. Pomme de Terre State Park is one State Park that is two completely separate campgrounds, split in half by Pomme de Terre lake. When booking pay attention to whether you are on the Hermitage side or the Pittsburgh side. Each campground has it’s own camp store, swim beach, boat launch, and sanitary disposal station.
We have camped three separate times at Pomme de Terre with all three campsites being in the 400 loop on the Pittsburgh side. This loop has been chosen due to its proximity to the bathrooms and the playground, these are key when having a 4-year-old. This loop is located in the woods with nice spacing between sites. Each site comes with a fire ring and covered picnic table. I will warn you that some of the sites on the left when you first pull into the loop are on an incline, so bring plenty of leveling pads with you if you have a trailer. If you are wanting to be close to the water this loop is not the one you will want to reserve. I would look more in the 300 loop, though those sites are gravel in case that is an issue for you, or look at the Hermitage side. The bathroom and shower house located at the entrance to loop 400 are some of the nicest that we have experience while staying in a state park. They are clean and well maintained. Located throughout the loops are vault toilets if you choose a site farther away from the main bathroom.
We enjoy the campground and marina on the Pittsburgh side. The marina is stocked with some camp essentials as well as a café for a quick bite. They also have boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards for rent, for a list a prices here is the Marina’s website www.mofunparks.com. This is one of our son’s favorite stops on the trip, they have a nice selection of ice cream. The size of the marina is not large, and if it is busy the inside can be very cramped. We do prefer the swim beach on the Hermitage side it is located along a peninsula with ample room on busy days, as opposed to the Pittsburgh swim beach that is located in a cove without as much space.
When traveling between the two state parks you will travel through Hermitage, Missouri. They have a Dollar General, gas station, and some restaurants. I cannot speak for the restaurants, but we have used the Dollar General for supplies that did not make the trip. Located at the junction of Hwy 64 and Hwy 64B, just outside of the Pittsburgh side of the park, you will find an old building directly across from White’s Marine Center that is selling camp wood. The person that sells the wood will be out there sometimes, but if they are not, there is drop box mounted to one of the poles to leave money in. I was able to purchase a wheelbarrow load for $8.00, which is a much better deal than the small bundle they sell in the park for $5.00.
Pomme de Terre State Park has become a family favorite campground. We will be making a voyage here every year to continue exploring.
RangerNestled in the woods just beyond Bennett Springs State Park is just a slice of camping heaven! Lower campground area is just a picture perfect as the campground winds along a section of the Niangua River. Campground supports any type of camping. Upper level has new full service sites. Great Owners run the well stocked store and see to your needs. Camping cabins for rent. Great shower house. Loved this place we will be back soon. Definitely a 12 out of 10!
RANGER REVIEW: I had the opportunity to review the GCI Slim Fold Cook Station. Wow what a great addition! Totally loved it. Spacious room on top. Found it to be pretty stable. Sever hooks for hanging items for quick access. Made from sturdy material. Set up and take down super easy. We used iron grill with it and found it to be a match. Also used as a buffet for feeding larger number. Very versatile . Definite 10
TravelerWhether you want a nice secluded site, a yurt or one right on the water-Pittsburgh has them all. Great modern bath houses as well as a marina with a small diner. Boat rentals, kayak rentals and a fully stocked croppie bed for kids. Lots of fun for the family.
TravelerClean and well-maintained campground off the Niangua River. Showerhouse is ok- not air conditoned but relatively clean. Sites are nice with a parking pad, picnic table, campfire ring with grill, and lantern post. Great general store on property! Can’t wait to come back again. They’re supposed to be adding more soon.
Visited labor day weekend 2018
GuideThe Lake of the Ozarks Recreation Area (LORA) is a great destination for camping, boating, swimming, water skiing, fishing and other outdoor activities. The lake is one of the Nation's largest man-made lakes, providing you with over 1150 miles of shoreline to enjoy. LORA welcomes Active Duty Military, Retired Military, members of the National Guard and Reserves, DoD employees with ID cards, family members and Fort Leonard Wood contract employees. Plenty to do and see here. Boat rentals, hiking, and others mentioned above. The LORA Country Store carries ice, beverages, firewood and a small selection of food including snacks, milk, eggs and bread. The store also carries the basic necessities needed for camping and fishing, including fishing licenses. Can rent a tent site, camper site with full or partial hook ups, cabins 1-3 bedroom, etc. The marina has boat and jet-ski rentals (pontoons, wave runners, jet ski's, ski boats, fishing boats, pontoons, etc.) that are much more reasonable then other rental places in the area. Area is staffed by on-duty MP's out of Fort Leonard Wood.
ScoutMy girlfriend and I stayed here during our road-trip through MO. The owners Brandon and Theresa were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. They gave us a tour of the farm when we arrived and let us pick out which camp site we wanted. The camp site had everything we needed including a fire pit, grill, picnic table, water spout and bath room nearby. We enjoyed picking black berries right next to our campsite to have with breakfast in the morning. I highly recommend staying here with your family or significant other!
