Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mansfield, MO

We reserved a pull thru for an overnight stay between Memphis and Springfield, MO. This was right on the highway, but no road noise. Check in was super easy, full hook ups and easy in and out. Looks like they changed the name to Silver Springs RV park. Enjoyed the pool.

After reading a couple of reviews on this new campground (CG), we called about availability and got someone at Lambert’s Cafe who was not much help. We arrived at this new RV park addition to Lambert’s Cafe from I-57 with no issues. Coming in from I-57, we followed the signs for Lamberts and J.T. RV Park on the left side of the road. The entrance to the RV area is the second entrance into Lambert’s main parking lot. You follow the signage back to the CG which sits off to the right and behind Lambert's. This CG is first-come-first-serve. There’s a sign at the kiosk that states sites 6, 7, 8, 9, 27, 28, 29, 30,& 31 are for stays of one week or longer. We selected and parked in site 25 with FHUs, and then went back to the kiosk and paid our$40. The sites are narrow and very close to each other but this was on a Sunday and the park was fairly empty. There were about five transients overnight along with the four long-termers so having someone next to you was not an issue. There is no fire pit, picnic table, cable, or WiFI. One of the long-termers told me there’s a plan to put in a shower house, restrooms, and other amenities. We do not know if this is factual as we did not see any camp-host type of person during our stay. The CG is in an industrial area and we heard backing beeps at about 2:00 AM for a few minutes but other than that it was not bad for this type of area near a main road. We noticed a long-term resident taking their dog out and not picking up after the pet, which seemed to be common based on the'land mines' we noted while walking our dogs around. There is a dump station here that is a $10 fee if not staying in the CG. Lambert's Cafe is within easy walking distance. We had good water pressure at 50 psi and 4 bars on Verizon. This place is pretty much a parking lot with no trees so no problem with satellite. We got a good variety of OTA stations as well. This CG was a little on the pricey side for what you get unless maybe you are a huge Lambert’s Cafe fan. No surprises at this new RV Park as the sites are pretty much level and the roads easy to navigate. However, this place worked for an overnighter.

For starters the RV park is about 1/4 down a 1 lane gravel road so if you’re pulling a big rig you better hope you don’t meet another vehicle. All the 50 amp full hookup sites seem to be in use by permanent residents. The 30 amp sites are not on level ground. No water or sewer connections for the 30 amp sites. The road also gets a little steep and winding to the 30 amp sites. Nice small lakes make for a nice view once you get into the valley.

Private campground, some full hook ups, some electric only, andsome primitive. Water is shared and can be 50 feet from your campsite. Nice big trees, mostly level parking, which is saying something considering it's the ozarks! Bull Shoals lake is lovely. Marina and restaurant at the campground. Ice available. Nice bathrooms. Walk to swim from the shore. No beach but rocks to jump from into incredibly deep water.

We were able to get a spot the same day as our request. RV spots are able to accommodate a 44 foot coach. Gravel parking and level. Good Full hookups. Sprint has strong signal. Also has a RV wash area.

Stayed one night while visiting Springfield.  Mostly long term campers.  Transient campers are placed near the entrance and close by (about 100 yds) I44.  The only meadows are around the outside.  All gravel on roads and sites.  I do not recommend this place unless loud road noise does not bother you.

The Cooper Creek resort is a clean campground on the shore of Lake Taneycomo close to all the Branson activities including the Branson Landing. All the sites are full hook up and full of trees. We stayed in March and the resort was pretty empty and very quiet. Very good military discount. This is the second time staying and will definitely return again.

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.

Great RV Park with shaded sites. Convenient to the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum.

Perfectly nice place, very friendly staff, and really not much to complain about. The wifi signal was very weak in the tent sites, but useable. There is a train that goes by occasionally, but didnt bother me. Nice little fenced dog runs, was a cute touch. But at the end of the day it is basically like all KOA’s an RV parking lot with trees. Close to Springfield which is nice, and there arent a lot of great options around this area so it was fine for a one night stay over. Bonus points for being able to get a pizza delivered to my tent site.

Great staff! Biggins in the ponds, and great music events! The rv park at the top of the hill is great and pet friendly!

Fish on!

Stopped in for one night on my way through southern Missouri and so glad I did. Super friendly hosts, newer RV Park, great amenities! Loved the clean and well appointed restrooms, showers and laundry. Also have a large fire pit on site, picnic tables and plenty of space for your pup to run! Will definitely stop again if I am in the area.

Nice size sites. A lot of activities are available free to campers. Barbeque food truck is very very good...huge proportions. Many attractions in Branson close to RV park(10 miles or less). No bathhouse. No laundry room. Fenced in dog area for fur babies to release energy.

The campground is clean and the staff was very helpful with any questions. Shower rooms were spotless and nice. Had a great time at Branson and this rv park made it even better. Would recommend this campground to everybody and we will stay hear again the next time we go to Branson.

We have had friends that loved and recommended this park to us, but aside from the proximity to the water and Bass Pro, we didnt really think it was what it was built up to be. It could definitely have been a COVID thing, but we felt the sites were small and it was a typical RV park...lots of rigs and smaller yards. It was fine and we loved being close to the water, just not what we had anticipated.

The campground is beautiful and has one of those mountain settings you will not forget anytime soon!!  In the mornings you often will find someone enjoying their coffee as they watch the fog roll across the waters, a picturesque view that is well worth a visit.

The campground itself is available to both RVs and tent campers, although they are shared spaces and with that comes a few challenges.   When several RVs are side by side it seems a bit more congested.   As a tent camper I had ample space when I set up and felt comfortable.   The downside to shared spacing however is that tents must set up on gravel and this can be uncomfortable and post the problem of anchoring.   

I myself laid down several blankets before getting comfortable and this ensured I would not be stabbed by a rock in the night.   Since the ground is gravel anchoring was difficult at best so I opted to weight my tent down from inside instead, this seemed to work well.

In addition to camping you can also rent cabins which come in a variety of sizes.  These seem to be pretty on course for pricing to other cabins in the area and compare in sizing as well.

This is a Good Sam Campground, and with that you have several improved and upgraded amenities, those come at a hefty price tag.   As a tent camper I often try to stay within a budget but with this space there are no primitive sites or sites designed for tents specifically that means you will pay the same as an RV which is in excess of $42 for a regular site or $51 for a lakeside site.    Discounts for Good Sam do apply to take down this cost a little, but still that price is a bit hefty!!

For me personally I had to see what kind of amenities I would be receiving for this so I could well take advantage.   A basketball court and pool were nice, a dog park and playground were good as well but less likely for me to utilize.   Laundry was something I was very happy to see in addition to their regular restrooms.    Additional parking for trailers and boats was again something I wouldn't personally use but I could see as a marker in justifying the price point.   

The thing that really struck me as a huge and unique offering was the storm shelter.   The shelter is marked clearly on the map and explained when you check in and it is something I have never seen at any other park or campground I have stayed at.   That in itself made me feel instantly more secure as a tent camper.

The overall impressions of this park are good.   The people are nice, the facility as a whole is nice and the waterfront is picture perfect.    The dock is amazing to go sit on and enjoy but the price for tent camping is still a bit high in my book.   Staying here again I would hope to be in a cabin or RV to justify the price point.
