Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mount Vernon, MO

Nestled on one of the best lakes in Missouri is this clean, family campground. Fairly level sites with quite a few lake sites. Nice boat ramp and swim area. Clean shower houses well located around the camping areas. Only complaint I could find with this location is trying to book an open spot and no full hook up. Loved this camp ground and will come back again.

Nice clean RV park. Full hookups.. could use additional Washing machines and dryers for the number of people here. Reasonable rates for a pull through... We're just staying for two nights, but I would stay here again...

I have a mostly stock 4Runner. We were able to drive it around on a lot of very light off-road trails. There were many more intense off-road options and challenges though. They have RV hookups there and plenty of places to park and vehicle-camp or to set up a tent. Trails were $35 a day and camping was $15 per person per night.

This is camping, not an RV park. Gravel roads and uneven RV spots with uneven picnic/fire pit areas. One or two trees between most campsites, but very open. My site had 30 amp electric, water, and sewer. It had cable tv, which I didn’t use. Ask about 50 amp electric. Bathrooms looked clean but they are located by the general store on the way to the river. River was completely wooded with a large dock and moorage. I did not notice laundry facilities. There is a general store, but nobody to help you park. Lots of space, so that wouldn’t be a problem. Do expecting level your rig as most spots are uneven.

While the resort is surrounded by River and trees it’s a short drive into civilization.

The state park is located on Table Rock Lake and offers 2 campgrounds. RV hookups and tent camping available. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit with grill cover and a paved area. Some of the spots are rocky so keep that in mind. There is also a bathhouse, fairly clean. While we were there we went to the Dewey Short Visitor Center which was really neat. There is also some hiking and a playground for the kids! Close to Branson, MO. I would highly recommend a tour of Dogwood Canyons while in the area!

We have been coming to this park for years.  We did not stay here last couple of years due to the amount of Longterm campers that had trashed the place.  The new Owners have really cleaned up the park and gotten rid of so many of the problems that were bringing this once loved park down.  

They have since cleaned up the park, gotten rid of the long term campers who were not friendly and were frankly scary.  They've implemented security and rules and hired a fantastic manager. 

They have brought in new facility, renovated the office and community room and are adding new pads.  Added a new community fire pit and bbq area and have cook outs with the guests on weekends.  The handful of long term guests who have stayed are extremely friendly and love the changes that have happened.

That is ultimately why we decided to give it another try and we are so glad we did!  

So happy to have this once amazing park coming back to life.

Very nice campground staff at check-in. Friendly environment. Great full hook up site and easy to get into. Big rig friendly.

When coming to Eureka Springs there are a lot of accommodation options. Best known for their many bed and breakfast options and historic hotels, many tend to gravitate toward those options. However, like always, I was looking for something for those seeking a tent option. I was not supposed to notice more than a few popped up in this destination. I settled on Kettle Campground, a camp which has been a staple in Eureka Springs for years and actually used to be the location my family camped when I was younger.

Upon arriving to Kettle around 5 p.m. offices were closed already for the day, but a board outside the office displayed openings for the evenings alongside camp maps and rules. I found a tent site in the primitive area and made my way to it along gravel roadways.

I noticed a lot of long term campers in RVs at this location alongside overnighters, both options which are made available to those requiring full hook ups. As I neared the tent area I was the only one, coming mid week impacted this I am sure but it made for a quite and pleasant stay on the grounds

Small branches abounded for starter wood for fires and firewood was being sold at the front entrance as well for campfires. As I cleared away small twigs from my tent pad area I noticed the ground was soft enough for my tent stakes yet still a bit rocky.

It was indeed a primitive site in feeling in that it wasn't as even as the rv of hook up sites for tents. The terrain was a bit more rugged and the parking was a bit questionable had I have been there with others as it did not have an exact marked spot.

After assembling my tent, I did a quick walk through of the facilities which included a laundry area, bathhouse, pavilion, pool and recreational area. Many improvements had been made since my younger years camping here. Overall the sites were clean as I walked around. I did notice someone had left the bathhouse women's door open and in going in it appeared a few bugs had come in the night before as bugs do when they see light. Nothing scary or uncommon for a campground but I tend to be a little mindful of other things which could find their way in as well when I notice this, though it appeared all good.

I elected to swim in the pool which has opening hours during daylight. I was undisturbed when doing so by any other campers and despite the pool having highway frontage it did not appear loud.

The next morning when I woke I made it to the office to pay for my site and office staff was incredibly friendly and informative. I noticed a variety of services were available in the office including wifi, trolly tickets and movie rentals.

All in all I give this campground 3 of 5 Bunnies. The main reason for the drop in rating was the campsites being unmarked making it hard to determine parking and actual camp boundaries for tent campers. In addition, the roadway in and out of the tent area was a bit washed out and so it made for a very off road feel versus the other roads throughout being more even, almost as though the single road was an afterthought on maintenance because they do not host as many tent campers.

The overall improvements to the camp were amazing to see and I hope in the future the small

Improvements to the tent area can be attained to create a perfect camping experience for tent campers like myself. The staff made my stay very pleasant and relaxed and the overall experience was a positive one.

Have stayed here couple of times and only in full hook up. The sites are so very small we can't put out a rug or awning if someone is camping beside us. Have never been in shower house personally but father and brother both said not clean.

We stayed there with 4 campers total. Nice place to camp. We did not have full hook ups so short walk to shower house that was pretty clean. Nice laundry area as well. Awesome trails with in walking distance from camp. Very busy park but nice and quiet.

Loved, loved, loved staying here! Hosts were gracious and easy to work with. Location is great for all the outdoor activities and is close to the fun in Branson. Edgewater has all the amenities you could want; great views, a lake to fish, swim, or boat in, a pool and a playground. We stayed in our RV and found the sites to be level, clean, and private. They are nestled by the lake with a privacy fence separating the spacious sites. Each site is full hook-up (back-in) with no obstructions. Each site came with their own newly constructed fire pit and picnic table. Our stay was lengthy and the pricing fair. Our family will definitely be back!

Was visiting my dad who stays in the park recently as a long term guest and have to say that they have done a lot the last few months under new management.  

My dad's neighbors were not the nicest people and they had two large dogs they allowed to crap everywhere and would never clean up their area.  

There were multiple complaints about the problem to the previous owners and nothing was done.  

The new owners came in, in December and quickly cleared out the problem guests made everyone clean everything up and made the place back to its former glory.  

They have also made it a point to personally know my elderly father and keep an eye on him for us so we know he is safe and being looked after while he enjoys the park with his dog.  

They have made sure that the spaces are clean.  Got rid of the unsafe guests who decided to take the place over and have made it a safe beautiful spot to stay once again!

So thankful they purchased the park and made it a safe and wonderful spot for the family to visit and a wonderful spot for my dad to enjoy his time.

Can't thank them enough!
