    Rustic Trails RV Park

    Clean, hot shower but little else

    One shower and one bathroom working at the back of the campground. There's more up at the house but I didn't use those facilities. I was less than impressed with this campground. Especially for the price. It looks as though most campers actually live there and they got the shaded spots with plenty of trees. I was directed towards the back which is all gravel and not much else. Good for a quick stay over but there's nicer places close by for half the price.

    Peaceful sleeping

    Driving through Missouri needed a quiet place to stay. We stayed at Honey Berry Hideout, it has metal fire ring and grill. The owners were very friendly , informed us amenities , they have coffee pot , small stove to use in a barn in walking distance, bathrooms and showers for small fees. Family friendly with large area for kids to play.

    Nice place to stay

    We stayed here as just an overnight stop on our way to another destination. The check-in process was smooth, the price was right, and the campground was very well maintained. That said, I didn't check out the restrooms while there, but had planned to. If they're maintained like the rest of the campground, I have no reason to believe that they are in great shape.

    Cross Creek RV Park

    DONT STAY HERE

    The road to get in and out of this place is absolutely ridiculous. You can try to go 1mph to avoid potholes or washed out area just to hit the next pothole and washed out area. Dont make the mistake we made! Read all the Google reviews (including the 5 star ones which also complain about the road)  i stopped counting after 25.. that explains alot about how much the owners care. The road was so bad we took a loss on the money and stayed elsewhere. Id rather loose out on a few hundred then damage my vehicle getting in and out of this place multiple times during my stay.

    Crabtree Cove, Stockton Lake, MO

    Another beautiful USACE campground

    An absolutely wonderful campground with great low rates in the shoulder season($10 for electric during shoulder season ) Plus if you have the America the beautiful pass its 50% off. Regular season rates $14-$20 Warm showers with very little water pressure... but other than that a wonderful campground. Most of the campsites have shade but some of the non electric ones by the lake do not despite what Recreation.gov says.

    Great Little Gem

    Nicely kept small park with some shady spots. Inexpensive. About 2 miles from main highway.

    Stockton State Park Campground

    Nicely maintained campground, great hiking trails, no privacy.

    This was a nice campground that was well maintained. The sites are quite close together with little privacy and minimal shade from the trees. We stayed in the East Loop which looked less popular than the West Loop. There was a short walk less than 5 minutes down a trail to the lake that was gorgeous. And a longer hike that went along the edge of the lake that was absolutely lovely and easy enough for the young kids in our group to do. If you don't mind being close to your neighbors it's a nice spot!

    We did check out the walk in sites here, but were not able to stay in them. They looked awesome and were a short 5 minute walk from the parking. A great beginner site for walk in camping and there were carts at the start of the trail for your gear. Both loops had decent playgrounds for the kids.

    Orleans Trail

    Private, wooded campground near the lake!

    We stayed in the D loop at site D37. All of the sites in the D loop are more spaced out and wooded than in the other loops. They also don't have electric and the bathroom is a vault toilet. 

    Site D37 was able to fit our two tents comfortably but I don't think there was a flat space to fit a third. It was also pretty overgrown and unkept. So bring lots of bug spray. Site D39 is pretty close and it would work well for a group needing multiple spots. We had a view of the lake across the road. The bathroom was a several minute walk. 

    Site D37 across from us had water access and looked really nice. Other nearby spots D40 was also quite heavily wooded and didn't look like it had much more than one semi-flat spot for a tent. But it was definitely very private! 

    We used the shower houses(which we had to drive to get to) and they were okay. The water wouldn't get hot, but we didn't take ice cold showers. The swim beach was the highlight of this location and very nice!


Guide to Long Lane

Camping sites near Long Lane, Missouri provide access to Ozark Mountain terrain with rolling forested hills and clear spring-fed waterways throughout the region. The area sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation, with summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s and cool fall nights in the 50s. Most campgrounds remain partially open year-round with reduced amenities during winter months.

What to do

Fishing beyond Bennett Spring: Many campgrounds offer alternative fishing opportunities along the Niangua River. At Hidden Valley Outfitters, "The newer RV sites have full hookups but no shade. Quiet hours run 10pm-7am which was nice for my young daughters." Their camp store sells fishing supplies and provides local fishing information.

Water activities: The Niangua River offers various water recreation options beyond just fishing. At Mountain Creek Campground, "You can rent tubes, canoes, or rafts, and float down the river. You can float as long as 10 miles, or as few as 4 (maybe even less). There is a water slide that's so fun."

Hiking trails: Several campgrounds connect to hiking trails through Ozark woodland. According to one visitor at B Berry Farms & Co., "The farm is beautiful and trails are a wonderful walk through some beautiful nature. Me and my sister stayed for my birthday and had a blast."

What campers like

Direct river access: Many campsites provide convenient water access. As one camper at Riverfront Campground and Canoe notes, "Level concrete pads on most sites. The sites are fairly large so you're not on top of your neighbor. The river has a couple nice gravel bars for swimming."

Winter camping availability: Several campgrounds offer year-round options. A visitor at Bennett Spring State Park Campground reported, "This is the third time staying here. This time wife and I took our small camper just to get away for the weekend. We stayed in campground one because it is the only one open during the off season."

Private forested campsites: Many campgrounds offer secluded options. At B Berry Farms & Co., "Each spot is tucked away and very private, with a firepit, firewood and logs or homemade seats for you. Just keep an eye out and spray for ticks, I found one crawling on my foot while getting ready for bed."

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Service levels vary throughout the year. At Bennett Spring State Park Campground, "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."

Highway noise concerns: Some campgrounds sit near major roads. A camper at Rustic Trails RV Park shared, "I-44 is very close and loud. We stayed 1 night and that was enough." Another visitor added, "The highway noise was loud but earplugs worked."

Site levelness issues: Not all sites offer level parking. At Rustic Trails RV Park, "The roads are a bit tricky to navigate and the sites are very unleveled. The staff is difficult to get ahold of and is not around a lot."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer family-oriented facilities. At Mountain Creek Campground, "This place is great for a family camping trip. Lots of activities. There is a great little 'beach' spot along the river so you can play in the water, with umbrellas already put in on the banks for shade."

Designated family camping areas: Some locations separate family and party camping areas. At Niangua River Oasis, "Everyone was nice that worked there. 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."

Cabin options: Many campgrounds offer cabins as alternatives to tenting. At B Berry Farms & Co., "We stayed in the quaint little bunkhouse with an air conditioner and all the amenities that we needed- a little frig, toaster oven, microwave, sink, coffee maker with pods, storage the we could use for our things we brought and the bunk beds that held 5 of us."

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Different campgrounds offer varying RV service levels. At Hidden Valley Outfitters, "When we pulled into the campground and picked out a super sweet paved full hook-up site we let out a sigh of approval and knew we were going to really like it there for a few days."

Site spacing: RV site proximity varies considerably between campgrounds. A camper at Lebanon - Bennett Spring KOA warned, "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."

RV access challenges: Some campgrounds present navigation difficulties. At B Berry Farms & Co., "The drawback for us is that (1) it is FAR from the main highway so not convenient for one-night stays and (2) the one site suitable for large RVs is not very level. We have a 40' Renegade Verona and it took 6 tries to find a place near the hookups where our auto-level would find a good position."
