Welcome to The Hitching Post RV Park & Tiny Home Village located in the heart of the Ozarks!
Newly renovated in the spring of 2022 in order to provide a special place for the families traveling to Ava for a temporary visit or to call home for a long term stay or by the month. The park has full hook ups, level sites, and a laundry & shower room for all those traveling through the area or staying awhile. The grounds of The Hitching Post RV Park are beautifully situated 4 miles north of Ava on HWY 5.
A place we hope you will call home.
Traveler
This is a very popular campground during the “in-season”. Limited spots that can’t be reserved, and many that can. Tent spaces, RV hook-ups ans group spots. Many people who canoe the Current River stay here. Good, clean restrooms with separate shower stalls. Nightly fun activities, close to many different hiking trails, and an on-site general store.

This place literally has everything you can want from walk in tent sites to an entire lodge with all the amenities. Campsites are all well manicured and offer everything from basic sites to full RV hook ups. The only negative is that we have experienced are that you need to reserve your side months in advance because this campground is so popular. And the only other negative is that all of the campsites are out in the open with no shade. But other than that it’s easy to see why the state park is a perfect representation of how much pride Missouri takes in its conservation and park system.

Very nice RV park near grocery store and food. Also near the Lake Of the Ozarks State Park. This RV park has everything you’d need. There is a nice pool, games, laundry, playground, propane, supplies and food, full hook ups, cable, restrooms and showers. The reason I took a star off was that the sites were closer together than I like.
Traveler
Tent, rv Hookups, cabins. yurt. Pool. Pleasant place for kids and adults. Good restaurant, live entertainment on occasion, views, trails. Great staff. Conpletely new place. Good time by current river mo.

This is a Military Campground (not quite a FAMCAMP - more a Recreation Area)! They have four areas - tent, water and electric, full hook up and cabins! We have stayed here may times - typically with the full hook ups. It is NOT off I-44 but off US 54. We have stayed up there in March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October!
Traveler
For starters the RV park is about 1/4 down a 1 lane gravel road so if you’re pulling a big rig you better hope you don’t meet another vehicle. All the 50 amp full hookup sites seem to be in use by permanent residents. The 30 amp sites are not on level ground. No water or sewer connections for the 30 amp sites. The road also gets a little steep and winding to the 30 amp sites. Nice small lakes make for a nice view once you get into the valley.
Guide
This place is much more like private property (with the bonus of full hookups), than an “RV park”. Everything about this place is A+. Roomy, level, and clean lots. Organized & friendly owners. Great lot amenities (fire pits, picnic tables with umbrellas, well maintained hookups). Beautiful views in very direction (open fields, tree lines, greenery, pond, clear views of sky). Very well maintained & marked grass walking trails throughout the property. Easy to find. Not too far interstate. Easy to back in site. This place was perfect for us & our dogs & our large 36’ fifth wheel while we explored and traveled Route 66.

This campground is very large thus always having availability for tent camping! They have ranger presentations on weekend evenings about the local wildlife and rivers and springs-Jacks Fork & Current River that are very informative! Great place to bring family and an equally reasonable price!! Offers group camping too! Harvey Kayak and Canoe rentals is right around the corner and will pick you up right at your campsite! I highly recommend this campground. They also have RV hookups and a private beach!
Guide
We love staying here! Right next to the Niangua River for floating and trout fishing.
Sites are pretty level, require little work and full hook ups are available.

Stayed one night while visiting Springfield. Mostly long term campers. Transient campers are placed near the entrance and close by (about 100 yds) I44. The only meadows are around the outside. All gravel on roads and sites. I do not recommend this place unless loud road noise does not bother you.
Traveler
Full hook up! Flat with gravel pull through. Pretty creek, but away from the bank, no trees.
GuideThe only issue is the full hook up area is a big parking lot with no shade! BUT you have great satellite signal!~ also the water in 10 & 11 is slow.We have stayed here many time! They have an awesome Halloween Spooktacular!!!!
Traveler
This great little campground on the Gasconade River was a delight. I had a camper and the full hook up was awesome. They have a cabin, a little retro camper and a large guest house for those who don’t have a camper or want to tent.
Firewood brought to your campsite upon request. Shower house. Open spaces. Katie and her crew are awesome.
Float this great river and end up at your camp. Beautiful river that does not have any jet boats. Make this one of the places to visit for sure.
ScoutOsage Beach RV Park is a family friendly park. The owners are great people. We have spend the last two summers in a seasonal spot and would highly recommend this park. Minutes away from great food and the water.
Traveler
Great RV Park with shaded sites. Convenient to the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum.

Great stay here. Quiet and safe RV park near Mansfield. Managers are great people.
TravelerGreat staff! Biggins in the ponds, and great music events! The rv park at the top of the hill is great and pet friendly!
Fish on!
ScoutThis place is pretty new and they didn’t spare any expense. Lodge and campgrounds were great. Camp host at RV park was awesome and helped us a couple times.
Traveler
Although the old rv park across the water is nice and level, we ended up wanting to be closer to the water and there happened to be a trail. Easy to get in but could be tricky for a small car to get out (boulders, trees, incline and possible rain/mud) 4x4 recommend. Great spot right next to the dam. Very quiet. Lots of beavers in the pond. Fire wood is abundant. A few fire rings in place at location.
ScoutReceived a warm welcome when arrived. Campground host led us to our site and ensured we had everything we needed for our visit. Moderate Verizon cell service. Average WiFi service throughout the park. Very clean RV park.
GuideThis was a very nice, clean campground in the city of Osage Beach. We needed a campsite to be able to work and school remotely from and this fit the bill with excellent WiFi that had boosters all throughout the campground. It was quiet, with not a lot to do at the campground itself (there was a pool, but it was off-season, so not open), but is centrally located to a lot of sight-seeing adventures. Very friendly, helpful hosts and nice laundry facilities. Phone signals good for AT&T and Verizon. Propane available, playground, shuffleboard and Good Sam discount.

My husband has been going to Montauk for over 40 years. He taught me to trout fish here. We both love to come back year after year. This is not only one of the most beautiful RV parks I’ve ever been to, but one of the friendliest all around !
Traveler
and canThis RV park is the best option in the Fort Leonard Wood area. THe owners/operators are awsome. The only draw back is that the roads and spots are all gravel and ven be muddy at times. Laundry is cheap. We spent a winter here and the owner was always helpful if anyone needed help dealing with the cold. Other than being all gravel and dirt roads and spots the only real draw back is that it is close to I-44 be noisy at times.
RangerNice level sites well spaces. A good size campground with onle one loop with water & electri hook ups. very small loop. Fills up early.Reservations recommened, especially on weekends.
No cell service at all.
Traveler
Great little spot for "on your honor" camping with some electric sites for rvs, but mostly primitive sites. Also some dispersed camping on a hiking trail available.

Brendan and Teresa are an adotable young couple who are transforming a large area in the midst of Missouri farm country into a small black- and blueberry farm that includes a small RV camp. They also make and sell natural products (soaps, balms, etc.). They have constructed a cute rec house with darts, corn hole, even a little reading nook. There is a swing on the big tree in front of the rec house as well as horseshoe pits. Dispersed around the berry fields are hidden firepit areas for guests to enjoy. And you can pick berries for your breakfast!
They have built an exquisite shower room with cedar walls and river rock flooring, and there are bathrooms for guests as well.
Brendan and Teresa could not have been more accommodating. They presented us with a goody bag with s'mores fixings and a sample lip balm from their product line. And Brendan helped us with hose repair parts when our water hose jammed on the reel and we had to cut it off! First rate customer service.
The drawback for us is that (1) it is FAR from the main highway so not convenient for one-night stays and (2) the one site suitable for large RVs is not very level. We have a 40' Renegade Verona and it took 6 tries to find a place near the hookups where our auto-level would find a good position (no "excessive slope" error).
Also, we knew from the start there was only 30 amp service and no sewer, so we can't complain about that.
But for smaller RVs and boondockers, this is a charming getaway for families and anyone who enjoys getting away from it all.

Lake of the Ozarks State Park campground is located in Kaiser Missouri about 5 miles down highway 134 off of highway 42. This campground is about 1.5 hour from Columbia and Springfield Missouri. It is approximately 3 hours from St.Louis and Kansas City Missouri .
Lake of the Ozarks State Park includes two different areas which are both located on Lake of the Ozarks.
The one reviewed here is located in Kaiser and includes Public Beach #1 , a marina/gas dock , horse stables/trails, hiking trails,beach,fishing dock,shore fishing and campground.
The other is located in Osage Beach about 20 minutes away and includes Public Beach #2, grand glaze marina/gas dock,shore fishing and hiking trails. No camping is available at the Osage Beach location aka PB 2 or grand glaze.
Lake of the Ozarks State Park Campground is a wonderful place to set up camp for the weekend and is one of my all time favorites. The State Park is clean and well maintained with plenty to do for everyone.
The camp sites range from primitive to full hook up 50amp and you will see a range of camping types from tents to class A's . The sites are well spaced out despite how the reservation map appears on the State Park website. I would however suggest staying at the campsites on the outer edges as the interior sites are a bit more cramped.
This area includes bath and shower houses that are of average cleanliness for a State park (typically worn but clean). As well as 3 playgrounds for the kids. Also on site is a Beach so bring a Towel and swimming suit.
A few things to note . If you come in the winter or spring the lake will be low and your lake side campsite will be Lake view instead. You are located about 15 minutes from a grocery store however a camp store is available also bring bug spray.
Your ideal sites are lakeside 160's I stayed at #163 and it was wonderful open with not a lot of tress for the dogs to get tangled in.
This is a true gem at the lake and even though I only live 15 miles away we visit many times throughout the year.
