GuideWe stopped here for one night on a trip home to Texas from Iowa. The hosts are very kind and helped us get backed in to our spot and set up. Lots of nice amenities and activities! It’s tucked back nicely so it feels very secluded.
GuideThe area is so nice and peaceful we decided to come back out. We tent camped in a new spot that hasn’t been used lately so we run into a ton of ticks and chiggers, it was annoying but nothing bug spray with 40% deet definitely helped.
Since it was the weekend all the good spots were taken but we still had a good time with a nice view.
ScoutThe campground is nice with a super clean bathroom and shower facility. They have a nice swimming pool. There is also a boat ramp of you are looking for that. Friendly people and super clean place
GuideJust one look around and we spontaneously decided to camp that night to check out the area. Amazingly beautiful and well maintained campgrounds near the Lake of The Ozarks just for military families, count me in. Area is easy to navigate with bathroom facilities, playground and pavilion with grills, plenty of fishing spots, tons of rv, cabins and tent campsites. You can also rent boats, jet skis, and other outdoor gear at the admin office. We took a tent campsite toward the back of the park with beautiful lakes views and a little private beach. We cannot wait to come back to hang out longer.
ScoutThe road to get in and out of this place is absolutely ridiculous. You can try to go 1mph to avoid potholes or washed out area just to hit the next pothole and washed out area. Dont make the mistake we made! Read all the Google reviews (including the 5 star ones which also complain about the road) i stopped counting after 25.. that explains alot about how much the owners care. The road was so bad we took a loss on the money and stayed elsewhere. Id rather loose out on a few hundred then damage my vehicle getting in and out of this place multiple times during my stay.
ScoutOut new favorite place! this campground has everything for a perfect long weekend! The cabins are spectacular and right on the water! We just tooK 40+ family members and everyone fell in love with this campground. We had family from Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri, and everyone raved how this was their new favorite spot. The fishing was great, amenities were fantastic, and the hosts were amazing. Free rentals on pontoon boats, kayaks, and paddle boats. We will be back again, especially since they just built more cabins!
RangerCampground was set up as tiers up the hillside. The top had 2 pools, shower house, and restroom all new and very NICE! Only issue was the kids being allowed on golf carts all day and late into the night flying all over both directions. Kids on bikes all night with no lights on bikes or grounds. It's a free for all. The lower pools are big with scenic views of the boats and lake front. Bar area was adequate and food was good but limited. DG was close and supermarket was 30+ minutes ito town.
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
GuideRuby's Landing River Resort is the place if you are wanting a place that has wildlife, beautiful river views and away from the lights of town. We enjoyed hanging out with our friends on the porch of Cabin #3, eating a great steak and catching up. The town of Waynesville is not far away and they had a couple of grocery stores, some restaurants and Uranus!! I definitely want to come back for their annual Haunted River Float.

Fishing access: Multiple campgrounds provide direct water access for anglers. At Boiling Springs Campground, the unique setup lets you "float the Piney and Gasconade and float back into your camp! The last 1/2 mile are the same float," as Tim L. notes. The campground sits where two rivers converge, creating diverse fishing opportunities.
Water recreation: Many cabin properties include boat rentals and swimming areas. "Free rentals on pontoon boats, kayaks, and paddle boats" are available at Cedar Creek Resort & RV Park, according to Jason R., making it convenient for water activities without hauling personal equipment.
Trail exploration: Hiking opportunities exist throughout the region with varying difficulty levels. Cedar Creek Resort offers "over 160 acres of land to explore" as Kathy F. mentions, with trails connecting to fishing ponds and natural areas without leaving the property.
Privacy options: Site layouts vary significantly between properties, affecting the camping experience. At Cross Creek RV Park, Barrett C. explains, "We tent camped on the island for 2 nights. It was awesome, you can fish right off the bank of your own private island within in minutes of waking up." The island site includes its own restroom facilities.
Recreational amenities: Beyond natural features, many campgrounds provide additional activities. Keidra P. appreciates Cross Creek for its "nice outdoor pool! Kids love the mini golf, shuffleboard, and basketball. Huge private lake great for fishing and watching duck families swim by."
Contactless systems: Modern reservation processes make planning easier. Amy E. from Cedar Creek Resort notes, "The registration online was seamless. We submitted an inquiry online, they replied within a day with the invoice to confirm our site and sent us confirmation details via email."
Road conditions: Access roads to some properties present challenges. At Cross Creek RV Park, Sean warns, "The road to get in and out of this place is absolutely ridiculous. You can try to go 1mph to avoid potholes or washed out area just to hit the next pothole." Other visitors echo this concern while still rating their overall stay positively.
Military access options: Military Park Fort Leonard Wood Lake of the Ozarks Recreation Area offers exclusive facilities with specific eligibility requirements. Paul S. describes it as an "Absolutely hidden gem on the lake available for military (active/retired/DAV). Has full hookups, big rig friendly and has a large array of boats you can rent."
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts facilities differently throughout the year. Kate B. notes at Military Park Fort Leonard Wood: "Sites with electric and water only are in nice oak woods overlooking Lake of the Ozarks. (Our site # J has a concrete stairway with 150 steps down to the water.)" Such features may become challenging during wet weather.
Budget-friendly activities: Many properties include complimentary recreation. At Deer Valley Campground, Myranda H. points out there's "no cover charge for live music and some of the lowest food and drink prices on the lake," making entertainment affordable during extended stays.
Safety considerations: Family campsites vary in supervision levels and terrain hazards. Fred R. observed at Coconuts RV Resort: "Only issue was the kids being allowed on golf carts all day and late into the night flying all over both directions. Kids on bikes all night with no lights on bikes or grounds. It's a free for all."
Swimming options: Water access varies significantly between properties. At Boiling Springs, Aundrea mentions, "Our camp site was right on the river with a beautiful view of the spring," while Elisha P. adds there's "a spring on the opposite side of the river that is fairly easy to swim to that is a thrill to swim through. It's ice cold!"
Site selection strategy: Many campgrounds have significant terrain variations. Sarah S. from Linn Creek KOA advises: "Very hilly (though grade on the site wasn't bad at all), pull through sites make getting in easy with larger rigs but all roads through are gravel and rutted so not the easiest."
Utility considerations: Hookup quality varies between sites. Charles A. notes at Linn Creek KOA: "Spacious and mostly level sites, which is outstanding as this park is on face of a hill." However, other reviews mention issues with water pressure or electrical connections at some properties.
Noise factors: Location relative to roads impacts the camping experience. Human B. cautions that at Linn Creek KOA, "the noise from the freeway running in front of the resort is unbearable at all hours," which may affect light sleepers despite other positive features.
