  Scrivner Road Conservation Area

  A hidden gem tucked away in rural Cole County

  First off there is camping here!!!! This Missouri Conservation area is a Swiss Army knife of rugged of the path camping. Rivers, Lakes, Gun range, Horses and hiking can all be enjoyed here. First come first serve basic camp area on the river. It has 1 fire ring in a gravel turnaround. Don’t let this fool you. This area has an abundance of wildlife equestrian trails and hiking. Getting too hot paddle on the lake located on the left Forck after entering. The area has a handgun, and rifle range with vault toilets. The pictures speak for themselves. Love this spot and will be planning another trip soon.

  Secluded rustic mini-resort

  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.

  Highly recommend!

  Pitched a tent here in mid August 2021. We rolled in late, close to midnight, and Teresa and Brandon were very accommodating. Set us up with an excellent campsite at the edge of the blueberries. We happened to land on an unseasonably cool night in August. Our campsite was among the trees, but with big open views of the sky. On a clear night you're far enough away from city lights to see lots of stars. We'll be back!

  Berry-good Time

  Found this place on a whim through Missouri. Was looking for dispersed camping and not much popped up in the area. So campgrounds were next up.

  This place already had a few good reviews, so I called them up. Immediately knew this was going to be the place. Super nice folks, clear communication, and even showed us the grounds upon arrival.

  Lots of amenities for just staying a single night. Everything you need and want in a campground, but not a KOA or Yogi packed site.

  Overall 5/5, cheap, friendly, abundance of things to do, and quiet (when I stayed).

  P.S. Depending on which site you choose… the cost varies, but still cheap. There is lighting, power outlets, tables, fire rings and outdoor grill, along with many other fun child-friendly things.

  Paddy Creek Recreation Area

  Quiet, easy camping

  Nice long weekend in a relatively primitive campsite. Vault toilets were a plus, but no water source that we saw. Access to swimming, fishing, and hiking trails. We were surprised with how many sites were taken up, but there were still quite a few available. Arrive early for a good spot (We stayed in spot 20 which had its own path to the river). Would definitely camp here again.

  There isn't much in the 20 miles before you get to the campgrounds, but there is firewood for sale (self-serve) 10-15 minutes before.

  Such a cute and memorable experience!

  Stayed here on a roadtrip and although it is kinda far from a main highway, it's so worth it. Teresa is such a sweet host and the facilities they have built are beautiful. (The cedar shower smells so good!) We even got to pick a complimentary lip balm and the strawberry shortcake is amazing. Each spot is tucked away and very private, with a firepit, firewood and logs or homemade seats for you. Just keep an eye out and spray for ticks, I found one crawling on my foot while getting ready for bed. Just wish I would've came with berries better in season, I'll have to come back!

  Riverfront Campground and Canoe

  Great River Access, Excellent Trout Fishing, Close to Bennett Springs

  We love this campground.  The staff is great and the campground is beautiful.  It offers direct access to the Niangua River, and it is only a short drive from Bennett Springs State Park, where you can fly fish and pull trout from the river from dawn until dusk.  

  The float trips on the Niangua are gorgeous.  I recommend going on a weekday to avoid the crowds.  

  Our most recent trip was in the beginning of June.  It was a little muddy.  Our fall trips to this location were absolutely gorgeous.

  Quiet and Cozy Campground

  My girlfriend and I stayed here during our road-trip through MO. The owners Brandon and Theresa were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. They gave us a tour of the farm when we arrived and let us pick out which camp site we wanted. The camp site had everything we needed including a fire pit, grill, picnic table, water spout and bath room nearby. We enjoyed picking black berries right next to our campsite to have with breakfast in the morning. I highly recommend staying here with your family or significant other!

  Froggys River Resort

  Not as nice as the other options

  This "resort" is just a basic campground.  There's no place to dump your camper's tank, which you'd expect at the prices they charge.  The owner is in some sort of a feud with the residents that live around the campground, so now one of them fires a shotgun off every half hour, and another one blasts revelry early in the morning.  Nothing scary, but I didn't like knowing that we were right next to residents...certainly wouldn't want a campground in my back yard.

  Otherwise, it's mediocre.  Depending on the time of year, the river can be quite low, so be sure to check the forecast before planning a stay.  It was only about 6 inches deep when I was there.  The Gasconade Hills campground is just down the road and was a much better experience.
