Best RV Parks & Resorts near Birch Tree, MO

368 Reviews

Several RV parks operate near Birch Tree, Missouri with varying amenities and site configurations. Ozarks Mountain Springs RV Park in Mountain View provides full hookups with 50-amp service on sites that accommodate large motorhomes. Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort features 31 sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, while Fourche Creek RV Park offers 50 sites with 30/50-amp electric hookups but no sewer at all sites. Road Runner RV Park in West Plains maintains year-round operations with big rig access, though some concrete pads show signs of deterioration. "We found the park easy to navigate with no tight turns. Large semi-paved spaces with good separation between sites, no shade but they do have a dog park."

Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer floating season when the nearby Current and Black Rivers draw crowds. Cell service varies significantly throughout the Ozarks, with stronger signals typically available in towns rather than at riverside campgrounds. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some charge additional fees for non-guests. Many campgrounds close seasonally between October and April, while year-round facilities often reduce services during winter months. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and propane is available in nearby towns like Mountain View and West Plains. Electrical reliability can be inconsistent during peak summer usage, with one camper noting they "were receiving less than 100 volts, which shut our electrical protection off" at a riverside location.

    Current River Campground

    Not particularly worth it.

    Location is great. The campground is on the basic side, with gravel and dirt everywhere. Not an issue, if that's what you're expecting.

    We were in site 45 and our friends in site 46. These are both 30 amp sites, no sewer, and we both have 50 amp service. This shouldn't be a problem, assuming we're pulling less than 30 amps. With 1 AC running, were only pulling less than 15 amps, but still having multiple electrical issues the whole weekend. Both sites ended up having to run our generators most of the time we were here. The staff did come out and take a look at the pedestals, and even replaced the breaker on ours. We were told that because we were at the end of the line, and we had big rigs, that it was causing issues. However, it shouldn't be causing an issue if we weren't pulling more than 30 amps, which we weren't. (On a normal 30 amp service, our rig will run 2 ac units without issue.) Multiple times, we were receiving less than 100 volts, which shut our Bulldog EPO off.

    We went to check at the office as we left for the dump station location. I was told that they could dump for you for $20 or, you could back into a full hook up site and dump for a $5 fee. We have been full time since November and this is the 1st time I've encountered needing to pay to dump when full hokkups weren't available. I double checked the website and couldn't find anything that mentioned a fee to dump.

    The staff did credit us 1 night stay and we didn't end up having to pay to dump.

    Long story short, definitely paid for the location to the river. We backed up onto the water and let down our ramp/patio for a nice view.

    Road Runner RV Park

    Nicely spaced and clean campground

    We stayed at this campground 1 night on our way between COVID-19 quarantine locations.  We found the park easy to navigate (no tight turns).  Large semi paved spaces (I say semi paved because the concrete pads were crumbling at least in our spot).  Good separation between sites with picnic tables, no shade but they do have a dog park.  Hookups were easy to reach and appeared to be in good repair.  Decent water pressure.  Many of the spaces were permanent campers or long term workers but it felt safe and appeared well maintained.

    Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest

    Easy access, private sites

    Stopped here while passing through Missouri on a Saturday on 4th of July weekend and there were only 3 other campers when we arrived late afternoon. The sites are nice and big with picnic tables and fire rings, even a few “doubles” that would fit two big rigs side by side. The trail around the lake makes for a nice short walk with the dogs and it was surprisingly not terribly buggy for July. No hook-ups, which was the only downside since it was so hot and my Husky demands AC in the summer!

    Highway K

    Nice all around campground

    We have stayed here a few times over the past couple of years and really enjoy that it’s it’s right on the Black River and that it is still within a couple of our drive from St. Louis. The campground is actually made up of two different campgrounds, East and West. The East is the older campground while the West campground is newer and geared more towards larger RVs and features bigger sites. Although we have camped at both with our 40 foot fifth wheel and as long as you pay attention to the trees you can still get around the East campground without any problems. The newer campground does not have as many trees so most of the sites are out in the open. The campground is just a few minutes away from Annapolis which has just about any of the basic needs that you might want. And again the proximity to river access is wonderful for enjoying a day at the river. Great campground!

    Alley Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway

    along the Ozark National Scenic River.

There are over 150 sites, and several group sites. The campground has a shower house, restrooms, RV dump station, electric and water hookups, picnic tables and fire rings. The Ozark Trail runs through the park. Roads are paved, but campground sites are gravel. There are Ranger-led campfire programs in the summer months.

    Round Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway

    Choose Tent Site Carefully

    Positives: Tranquil little campground with beautiful spring and cave. Quiet, shady, has two points of river access, group sites, and steaming hot showers.  Close to Echo Bluff State Park, Current River State Park, and Eminence, MO.  

    Negatives:  Test sites are hit or miss. Sites 1-18 are fairly small and not very level. Sites 19-29 have larger, more level areas. 30-39 are kind of mixed.  Many sites have steps up of down to the site from the road.  There is no cell service available, so make sure you have made reservations before you get here. Closest cell service is up the road at Echo Bluff State Park. 

    Other info: You may get lucky and see otters on your way to the spring, or some of the wild horses in the area. Go in the early morning to the spring trail to watch the mist roll off the water and enjoy the wildlife - so otherworldly. 

    Cave tours are available June - Oct., but even if you visit is outside of this window, the walk to the cave is kind of magical.  

    If you walk to the spring overlook, you'll also encounter a portion of the Ozark Trail. About a half a mile down the Ozark Trail you can cross the Current River on a pedestrian bridge which is a pretty cool experience.  

    Bathrooms available on the upper camping loop, but the showers are located on the bottom loop (three family style showers).  Fantastic water pressure. 

    Host was friendly even when he had to tell us we couldn't hang hammocks in National Park campgrounds. 

    While you're there drive down to Alley Spring for a nice hike, another beautiful spring and historic mill, and at the camp store you can get a National Parks Passport stamp (located in the screened in porch) for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. 

    We stayed in site 13 which is located directly behind the bathrooms. Good if you have to go all the time, bad if you don't like to hear loud toilet flushes.  Very shady site.

    Chipmunk Crossing RV Park - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Clean woodsy Rv Park

    We stopped for 1 night on the way to Wyoming it is way off the beaten path but what a nice campground. The owners were selling it when we were there they had it a long time. The Pool was so cool and refreshing and no one was there. There's nothing around there so come prepared. There are rolling hills, narrow road and paved. 

    We almost had the place to ourselves so quiet and well maintained.

    Twin Rivers Landing

    Clean, quiet, well kept, friendly

    Large primitive sites with plenty of space and access to community water pump in each area. Full RV hookup sites with room for tent camping friends. Trash pickup. Bathrooms within walking distance, that are CLEAN, critter free, and well kept. Access to shower house near the main entrance. Laundry on site as well!

    The site we stayed at was a premium tent/basic RV slot, so essentially we had access to an electrical outlet and our own water. The site was huge, plenty of space for our two tents, a pop up, and our "camp kitchen". Each site has a pretty well kept up picnic table and fire ring with cowboy stove (grate that flips over the fire..does the rest of the country use that phrase, too?)

    We came in on a Thursday evening and had no issues checking in and getting settled. We floated the Black River Friday through the campground, and had a blast. Our 6 man raft was in great condition and we had no problems with pick up at the put out. Our bus driver was a magician, getting us back in record time. We camped for three nights. Quiet time beginning at 11pm didn't need enforcing, everyone was pleasant and friendly. The staff was phenomenal.

    We are already planning our next trip out and cant wait to bring the kids!

    Piedmont Park

    Family weekend

    My family and I had a fun time at Piedmont Park. The swimming beach was the main attraction for us. The beach has a designated swimming area that boats can’t access. Due to the water level the beach had a bit of an incline. The water was a great temperature and the sand was clean. No alcohol allowed on the beach. We stayed right next to the beach in site A15. Spot was lacking shade but made up for it with the view. Site includes concrete picnic table, pavilion over said table, fire pit, 30 amp electric, and paved pad (very roomy). Only one shower house for all 3 loops. 4 shower stalls (one ADA) and 2 flush toilets. There are latrine style toilets throughout the park but they smelled like they needed to be pumped.

Guide to Birch Tree

RV camping near Birch Tree, Missouri offers visitors easy access to the Ozark highlands with elevations ranging from 800-1,400 feet. The region features karst topography with numerous springs, caves, and clear-running streams. Most campgrounds in the area remain operational from April through October, with limited services during winter months when temperatures can dip below freezing.

What to do

Float the rivers: Current River and Jacks Fork provide excellent kayaking opportunities within 40 minutes of Birch Tree. "Had a blast kayaking and fishing!" notes a visitor to Salem RV Park.

Hiking trails: Mark Twain National Forest surrounds the Birch Tree area with multiple day-hiking options. "Wonderful spacious sites, nicely groomed lawns, clean shower houses, very helpful hosts—very relaxing place to be," reports a camper at Fourche Creek RV Park and Riding Trails.

Fishing access: Several campgrounds offer direct access to fishing spots. "Awesome location and good fishing!" comments a visitor to New Horizon RV Park who enjoyed catching smallmouth bass and trout in nearby streams.

Horseback riding: The Ozark highlands provide excellent equestrian trails. "We brought our own stall bedding and buckets but they provided a tack room, pitch fork, wheelbarrow and shovel to help us clean up after our horses—enjoyed their private trails that went around the big lake," notes a reviewer at Fourche Creek RV Park.

What campers like

Natural settings: Many campgrounds feature wooded sites with wildlife viewing opportunities. "Definitely a wooded setting. Could tell work was being done to clear away brush and debris," notes a visitor to Ozarks Mountain Springs RV Park.

Community events: Some parks organize social activities for guests. "It was a Saturday night and there was an open mic night and bbq. The atmosphere was light and fun and the people rocked!" shares a tent camper at Ozarks Mountain Springs RV Park.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms are consistently mentioned in positive reviews. "The bath house was small but was warm and mostly clean," notes a winter visitor to Road Runner RV Park.

Affordability: Campgrounds near Birch Tree offer good value. "The rates were very very affordable too! 10/10!!!" exclaims a tent camper who stayed at Ozarks Mountain Springs RV Park.

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Many campgrounds reduce services or close entirely between November and March. "Even though we were there in late December all utilities were still on," mentions a camper at Road Runner RV Park, indicating this as an exception rather than the rule.

Permanent residents: Some RV parks primarily serve long-term campers. "This is definitely a primarily permanent resident and we were definitely the interlopers at the site," explains a visitor to Road Runner RV Park, though they noted a friendly reception despite this setup.

Hookup limitations: Not all sites offer full connections. "Beautiful and full of nature. Hosts were so attentive and helpful—the grounds were so green and view of the woods and pond was so relaxing," says a camper at Fourche Creek RV Park, which offers electric and water but not sewer at all sites.

Off-grid options: For those seeking more primitive experiences, options exist. "If you're seeking an off-grid camping experience, this is the place for you! Grab your tent, bring your RV, or rent the cabin, then settle in for a night under the stars," notes a reviewer at Harmony Hill.

Tips for camping with families

Spacious sites: Look for campgrounds with room for kids to play. "Large semi-paved spaces with good separation between sites," notes a visitor to Road Runner RV Park.

Swimming options: Some parks offer pool access during summer months. "Enjoyed the pool," mentions a reviewer at Road Runner RV Park (now renamed Silver Springs RV Park).

Pet-friendly environments: Most campgrounds welcome dogs but have varying policies. "Lots of green space for walking the dog," reports a visitor to Road Runner RV Park.

Proximity to towns: Access to supplies is important with children. "Town was only 8 min away to get a few things at the store," explains a camper at Rockin' Bell River Resort, noting the convenience of nearby shopping.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Many campgrounds have worked to create level parking areas. "We were in a close to level spot with newer looking hook ups," notes a camper at Road Runner RV Park.

Navigation ease: Access roads vary in quality between parks. "We found the park easy to navigate (no tight turns)," reports an RVer about Road Runner RV Park.

Electrical considerations: Power quality can fluctuate, especially in older parks. "Electrical connection even had a light to assist with connection," mentions a winter visitor to Road Runner RV Park.

Amenities for longer stays: Some parks better accommodate extended visits. "This place is a gem. Family operated and located in the Ozark Mountains with beautiful scenery nearby to explore," shares a visitor to Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort, which offers 31 sites with full hookup capabilities.
