"W stayed here over the 4th of July holiday, at the Pittsburg campground at the state park. Loop 3 campsite 317. I loved the trail to the lake!"
"This loop has been chosen due to its proximity to the bathrooms and the playground, these are key when having a 4-year-old. This loop is located in the woods with nice spacing between sites."
$14 - $26 / night
"Originally built for park volunteers, we enjoyed 50/30 amp service, water and sewer with amazing views of the lake. The rest of the sites have water and electric."
"Sites near the dump station can be very aromatic. No swim beach but you can access the water straight from the rocky shore. A lot of people tie their boats to shore below their campsite."
"The Pittsburg campground at Pomme de Terre State Park is awesome. The host was super friendly and helpful. The sites are all gorgeous, especially if you can get one right by the lake."
"This park is park of Pomme De Terre lake and 1 of 2 state parks on the lake, Pittsburgh and Hermitage."
"Behind us was the old road which was perfect for the kids to play on and ride bikes. The lake was just past that, and the view was wonderful. The bathrooms were clean (but hot) and not too far."
"Beautiful views form the campsite— tent camping on a peninsula in surrounded by Pomme de Terre lake. Check in was a little confusing, and we later found out the shop is closed for the season."
$14 - $200 / night
"Clean, well kept, campsites are semi private but close to the water. Not a long distance from bathrooms or the swimming beach."
"We where located at spot 29 on the campsite. It was amazing only reason for not getting a 5 star was, we had a group that was not camping show up to do some night swimming at the beach (9:00-9:30)."
"everyone is very pleasant and I felt comfortable letting the kids ride their bikes around, a great presence from the park rangers !"
"Lots of fishing activities here on the lake. Would stay longer if we had the time."
"This state park is one worth a stop when near Springfield. I drove north toward this park to enjoy something a bit different and found it to be very peaceful during a weekday. "
"A trout fisher dream, as one of Missouri’s 5 hacherys are here. Fun for this kids to see the amazing amount of fish."
$14 - $30 / night
"Most sites have view of lake and well shaded. Very nice boat ramp and courtesy dock, but no place to keep boat in over night and no dedicated swim area. Good facilities, including a shower house."
$16 - $50 / night
"There is a well maintained running/walking trail that is accessible from the campground and provides an easy way to walk through the adjacent woods. Very good ATT cell service."
ScoutWe pulled in and right away we were greeted with huge smiles and lead to a requested propane fill and our site! While we were getting set up they brought the ice and wood we requested, again with a smile! Everyone was incredibly kind and friendly and you can tell from the moment you pull in that this place is loved!
GuideWell maintained Campground. Lots of trees on outer loop 3. Very nice family site. Breeze off the lake kept the 90 degree days bearable. Restrooms are old but well maintained. Camp store is mostly an ice cream shop, no camping related items to speak of. Camp hosts are friendly. Not much of the late night noise enforcement. Dog friendly
TravelerOne of the best KOA’s I’ve stayed! They even delivered pizza right to our site. Super easy check in and the most gracious hosts. If you have to stop in Springfield, MO - stay here.
GuideHarry Truman State Park is a stunning spot, more so if you are a water lover. The campsites are large, with lots of trees to add privacy. Two boat launch areas make it very convenient for people who will spend time on the water. They do have three hiking trails (one was closed for storm repairs).
My site was just off of the main road, but I didn’t hear much traffic throughout the night. It seems to be a very quiet area
TravelerWith no cover charge for live music and some of the lowest food and drink prices on the lake, it's a great place to relax and enjoy the waterfront views. Also have boat rentals and a nice RV park expensive to camp
TravelerLittle spots. I'm in a teardrop and it's tight. Tents would be fine. Vehicles under twenty feet should be good. Quiet and peaceful and close to the highway for amenities.
ScoutThird time we have stopped here, and the third time was just as good as the first. David is doing a great job taking care of all us Happy Campers. It's not the biggest park but has excellent facilities that make up for its size.
TravelerLarge grass area available for tents or campers. No specific camp locations. No fire rings or picnic tables. Pit toilets are as expected.
Shallow muddy water but it does attract wildlife. A bit of road noise but tolerable. Perfect for our one night stay.
ScoutExcellent camping conditions close to the river that we float down in a canoe each year. I'll continue to do this every year until I absolutely can't anymore!
