Any great RV park has to start with fully-loaded RV campsites. Luckily, at Pin Oak RV Resort, our RV campsites are equipped with water, sewer, and electricity hookups. Our RV resort also features premium RV sites that offer either a view of the lake or a larger area to pitch tents and enjoy quality time around the fire pit.
RV Park may be in the name, but at Pin Oak RV Resort, you don’t need an RV to stay with us! We also offer cabins to rent for those who are looking for more of a glamping experience.
Choose from a standard cabin, a deluxe cabin, or rent our doublewide mobile home or bunkhouse, both of which are large enough to sleep parties of up to 12. All of our cabins feature a kitchen, running water, electricity, and all the other modern conveniences of your home.
Lovely lot along the Osage River. Pavillion, charcoal grill, 50 amp electric, water sewer and private access to the Osage River. Bring your boat, we're about 6 miles from the Missouri River/Osage River confluence!
$80 - $100 / night

Most tenants work in the Vicinity . The spaces are a little bit dirty. Nobody picks up after the dogs. The pound is nice, but filthy water

This is a small RV park just off I-44 about 20 minutes from Meramec Caverns. It’s very close to the highway so there is lots of highway noise. Some sites are farther away so not so bad. There is easy access from I-44.
30 & 50-Amp Electrical, Water & Sewer Hook-ups. Concrete pads. Bathroom/showers are clean. Pet friendly, coin laundry. Some pull thru sites. Adjacent to the Great American Flea Market on weekends if you like that stuff.

This is an older RV park and campground, and the age shows. We spent several nights here due to engine problems with our tow vehicle. The sites are level, and there is plenty of shade. (One advantage of being an older park.) But everything is just a little run down. The sites are gravel and close together do not much privacy. They come with water, sewer & electric. There is a pool (closed when we were there), playground, mini golf, a lake, game room, laundry and a small store with basics. The bathroom and showers were clean, but dated. Not all facilities were in working order. Two of 6 washers were out of service, one bathroom stall was out of order, pot holes in the road. There are also cabins, and RVs available to rent. There is quite a bit of traffic noise from I-44 and there are a lot of excess lights kept on all night long. The staff was friendly and check in was easy. Many of the sites are occupied be semi-permanent residents. They have internet, but it is weak and spotty. Saturday night they had a band making noise for 3 hours!
Scout
Great place for the price. The staff is very helpful and welcoming! We will be visiting again in the future!

I stayed one night in the RV campsite. There was only one other camper. The grass had been mowed recently so the path around the pond was easily walkable.
Not many of the RV sites had fire rings and, with all of the fresh cut grass, it would have taken a lot of raking to make a spot safe for a fire anyway.
Guide
Basic tent site, potable water was right near our site. Bathrooms were clean. There were some families staying nearby but overall was a quiet stay.
Legend
Check-in was quick and easy and we proceeded to pull through site 83 with FHUs. The gravel pad was very long and we had plenty of room for our 40’ rig and F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad and water pressure was decent at about 40 psi. As we were on the end of a row, we had a lot of front yard space. The sites here are very close together, but long-term guests kept their sites nice and well organized, and overall this CG was very clean. There are mature trees so satellite placement could be challenging. We were able to place our Starlink in the yard area for a good shot to the north sky. We got 4 bars on Verizon and their WiFi worked well for a campground of this size. At the office, they have a nice store and gift shop with one of the best selections of camping shirts etc. that we have seen.
Traveler
Stayed one night in a campervan. Would definitely recommend! We arrived a little late - right at sunset - but the friendly and helpful staff had already texted us all the info we needed for arrival. It was very quiet. Level spaces. Very dark, unlit walk to the bath house, so bring a light! Bathhouse was clean and well kept. Would recommend!
Scout
We stopped here overnight on a roadtrip from Ohio to Colorado. We were able to make a reservation online only hours before we arrived and it was such a simple process. The campsites are in the middle of the city park and it was nice to be able to walk our dogs around the park after a day of traveling. We had full hook ups which is always a relief!! The campsites are quite close together and this is not a forested area. It was perfect for us for a one night stop!
Guide
Lovely wooded spot. There are about 6-8 sites. Can back in a camper. Outhouse building. Only had one other camper. Shaded, wooded. We had a lovely night but woke up covered in ticks! Lots of ticks here. We ride our motorcycles here to tent camp. Sites are close. Fire rings , no picnic tables.
Guide
Good: It was clean and tidy, had ice and firewood for sale, was close to the boat ramp for the Osage River, and the bathrooms looked to be newly remodeled. Good shaded and flat spot for our tent.
Bad: No one on-site, no TP, no paper towels, no internet (Other campers said it had been working until the power went out during a storm a few days before; when the power was restored, the internet didn't come back)
Conclusion: For $44.29/night, I would keep going next time.

I had difficulty with the WiFi. But the security seemed good.

Campground was nice, pretty buggy, but bathrooms were in shambles, showers were full of mud and dirt
TravelerI've lived in a camper for a few years now and this is probably the best park I've come across. Not only is it beautiful but the owners are extremely friendly and make you feel like family. The prices are incredible, and you can even do your laundry for free! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful, and affordable place to get away.
Guide
We stayed two nights Group Site A. It’s far removed from the other campsites…and the bathroom. It looks like there used to be a trail back to the bathroom but it’s overgrown now. The water spigot was out of order but as we already had to drive up to the bathrooms, we just took the water cooler. The water is strongly chlorinated. That being said, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The Cub Scouts loved the site, the Natural Wonders Trail, and the visitors’ center. We will definitely go again but only if we get the site closer to the bathrooms.

GuideMy family and I had a nice stay. Long walk to the bathroom. Campsites are on top of each other though, so that stunk.. speaking of stunk, our site had skunks and raccoons each night. The park did have nice trails, fishing areas, breathtaking riverside views.
ScoutGreat Quiet Fair priced.
GuideGreat spot. Enjoy the sound of owls and silence. Plenty of dead/down trees for firewood. 2 bars w/Verizon.
GuideGreat staff, wonderful level sites. Bathroom on site. Pool during season. Partially shaded. Dog walk area. Pet friendly.
GuideWe discovered this gym. On our way home. Just needed to stay overnight, but will definitely be back. The little details make it very homey. Sites are well laid out and easy to maneuver. Full hook ups or tent sites are available to meet the needs of the camper. Clean facility and family friendly.
GuideFar enough away from the highway to be silent. Toilet available. Fire pits. T-Mobile service is good.
Scout
We stayed there for a scout event. They had hot showers and bathroom which is always a plus. There was a little trash at the site but nothing bad.
We had a ton of room between us and others. We could choose our site. I appreciate that quiet hours were enforced.

I was on my way to St. Louis MO. And need a place for the night. This is just few miles from hwy 70 east to reserve and pay on the phone. I t was nice they I put my tent instead of sleeping on the car. Recommended
GuideExcellent grounds. Very very clean and well kept. Hosts/owners are extremely responsive and helpful. Sights have some trees. Walking paths, dog walk area, fire pits, bathhouse. I would visit again.
ScoutStayed there for a week. The owners are very friendly. Very well kept campground. Enjoyed the pool.
ScoutI took a good bit of time to cool off and make sure I was okay with putting this out. Now about 2 weeks after my trip, I am still very irritated with my experience and decided I would try and prevent others from having the cluster-splat of a trip as my party did. I will not be coming back.
Thankfully, I did not bring my kids to experience this kind of trip because I try to shield them from the terrible things in this world, and this would be one of them.
Do not offer powered pavilions if you cannot keep your power on. Those who pay for their weekend home away from home expect to have the same type of service as their home, and you cannot provide, even if you offer, powered pavilions. Thankfully other camp-goers brought generators and were generous enough to share with us. I had a feeling at that time they they'd been here before and this was a common occurrence. (First Fail)
Get your plan together."We need your party leader to come to the front office to discuss the float plan". We were originally under the impression that we were setting off on the river from our campsite, as it was very close to the river. This was not the case when our party leader was told that we would be shuttled to the launch site, and we would pull out at our camp site(which is what we did at other locations on my previous float trips). Our party met at the front office to join the shuttle(which was 30 minutes later than they told us to be ready for departure), at which point they shuttled us about 30 yards from our camp site to set off on the river from the bank. (Second Fail)
You should not send guests out onto a river with faulty equipment. You take the hit, refund some of their money and offer them safer alternatives."Your raft has a very small leak and should be able to make the 4 mile float". We made it approximately 3 miles, and swam to a competitors pull out point after swimming the last 1/4 mile to it. My group also had at least 4 inner tubes that had no retention of air, and thankfully one member of our party brought their own tube which came with a pump. Every bank that we could stop at, we were constantly handing that pump to one another refilling our devices. I understand that it was a busy weekend for Arapaho, but you need to know your limits and capacity and not just look at the$$. We had raft number 1 as I was informed when we returned to the camp, and this is likely the very first raft the location ever acquired. If you are unwilling to part with faulty equipment and replace it with something newer/safer, eventually, you may have a lawsuit on your hands in the terms of"wrongful death". (Third Fail)
Learn how to talk to people. When a customer is voicing their complaints with a situation, do not interject at their argument at every breath they take in order to openly prove that you are a narcissist and spin your problems onto them. You probably had plenty of good feedback from the other float-goers on this day, because they had no troubles. When you scraped the bottom of the barrel, however, and brought your terrible equipment to my group, do not take a stab at my group for being"a bunch of pricks"(direct quote from the owner of this camp ground) when we have a complaint with our situation. There was no need for you lay your hands on other float-goers, either.(Fourth Fail)
In closing. I hope this location doesn't close. I hope new ownership takes over and makes this place a great place. We had a decent camp the night before our float, and we even paid for a second night for plenty of our group to stay again. After being treated terribly and listening to the staff talk about how they were openly racist, on meth staying awake for days in a row, and ESPECIALLY the owner being a terrible person that I expect to see in hell when I get there, my party simply called the weekend a wash and decided we would never return. I'm sorry, but you can take your$180 cash back and 1/2 off next float and smoke them away. They will likely be going along with your profits before long.
