7 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Neosho provide full-hookup accommodations for travelers. Big Red Barn RV Park in Carthage features 57 level sites with 30/50-amp electric, sewer, and water hookups on spacious pads with grass areas between sites. "Long wide sites that have grass, patios and picnic tables. Open year round," noted one visitor about this quiet country setting. Downstream RV Park in Joplin offers pull-through sites for big rigs with 50-amp service and water hookups, though it lacks sewer connections at individual sites. Zans Creekside RV Park provides both 30-amp hookups and sewer connections on sites accessible via paved interior roads. Camp Mi Casa on the Route RV Park, located on historic Route 66, accommodates larger motorhomes with full hookups including 50-amp service.
RV travelers should note varying amenities across parks in this region. Most parks maintain open status year-round, with Big Red Barn and Downstream RV Park specifically advertising all-season availability. Cell service is generally reliable, with Verizon showing strong coverage at multiple locations. Pet policies are consistent across most parks, with nearly all allowing pets on leash. While some parks prohibit campfires, others like Zans Creekside and Camp Mi Casa permit them. Dump stations are available at several facilities, including Downstream RV Park for those without individual sewer hookups. During summer months, particularly on weekends, advance reservations are recommended as parks near recreational areas fill quickly. Many sites feature concrete or crushed stone pads that require minimal leveling, though some visitors report needing blocks on certain sites with slight grades.

ScoutIt’s great once you find the site that isn’t too narrow, steep or pavement broken. It’s like Cinderella’s slipper. We did find the perfect fit and enjoyed our stay. It’s quiet, wooded and has been pretty empty all week.
TravelerQuiet setting in the woods with great biking
ScoutNice campground, not too busy this week. Access to Table Rock Lake. Sites are somewhat close together. During the week very quiet.
ScoutReally neat place it is the biggest waterfall in Oklahoma and really cool disc golf course neat hiking trails
GuideTightly packed parking pads for RVs, damaged/broken, hook ups, dirty campsites, not much shade, dilapidated shower house. Lots of road noise and bright lighting at night. I will admit that I am not a big fan of RV parks, but some are quite nice, this one is not.
ScoutSignage is poor and difficult to find your site. They are not kidding about tight quarters…bigger rigs will have to back up hilly and crooked road.
TravelerGreat road and nice secluded place. Not very level and acorns attacked us because of a storm but…
Starlink precluded by trees.
Nice place though for our journey!
TravelerWe were in site 17. Great view of the marina! Sites are level and the bathrooms are very clean! This was a perfect change of pace for a few days from the packed campgrounds of Branson before heading home.
ScoutCamped with tent. Just left at 2 am with black bear sniffing our heads. Scared away it but came back shortly after, maybe 5 minutes. Scary with young children. Probably our own fault since it's peak black bear season, just first time we've had one sniffing our heads.
