Campers note the bounce pad, playground, and jungle gym available for children while pet owners appreciate the two good fenced dog parks. The property maintains clean facilities with level sites and provides propane fill services on premises.
Trailside RV Park and Lake Paradise Resort both welcome pets while offering different environments for camping with dogs.

"Close to Kansas City but also really close to I-70. Lots highway noise. Staff very helpful & campground is being remodeled"
"We enjoyed taking time to go to Osage Fort and Missouri town. Two historical landmarks worth the visit. Our StarLink worked well."
"It’s really close to the lakes so that’s great but there’s minimal tree coverage and several of the sites are at the bottom of a hill which get water logged when it rains."
GuideCampground is right off I 70 so it’s convenient. We stayed at site 51 which is the farthest pull thru from the road , it was all concrete and gravel one big parking lot with a fancy cheese shop up front . Good for one night stay with full hook up was a little pricy but I would pay for the convenience
TravelerGood for an overnight. Water and electric at each site with communal dump station. Clean and modern restrooms.
TravelerVery nice clean campground. Paved roads, level gravel sites.
ScoutFree laundry, (only 1 washer & dryer per bath area) showers, and right on the lake. Has tent camping up to 14 days, and its pretty laid back and clean. Huge facilities, no electric for tent spots but they have it in bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic table. Buy 3- get 4 nights for seniors 62+.
ScoutHost was very nice, just outside city so access to what you need if you go north, access to hiking and country if you go south. I got concrete slab and full hookups. Showers and restrooms clean.
GuideVery crowded. Sites on top of each other and over priced for what it offers. Nice showers but only 2 for over a hundred sites. Would not recommend.
GuideNice place. Two small ponds. Good shower and laundry facilities. Spaces close together but not very full campground. They do charge $5/ guest if you have someone come to visit you while camping.
GuideAlways clean quiet place to camp. One way in and out of the park that you can see from every campsite so no worries about your children playing, let them run !!
ScoutI went with my daughter. We had a wonderful time! It was a nice clean campsite well cared for. Just what you want for camping.
