Stayed here here for one night in early September during our trip to Wyoming. Paid $10 with interagency senior discount. Stayed in the B Loop. We were one of 5 campers here; camped in a camper van. Our sie, B46, was close to a clean vault toilet (which has tp). Short walk to clean restroom/shower house; this building also has a laundry room. The sites have a level gravel driveway; most sites are back-in. Spacing between sites is okay; no privacy between sites. Even though the campground is along a lake, the sites at B Loop offer no lake views. Hosts seemed friendly. Did not see any hiking opportunities at this loop. There is a path to the lake at the back end of the loop. There is nothing special about this campground, but it is a good, clean, quiet location for an overnight stay. I had excellent T-Mobile 5G service. I would stay here again.
Nice place, but just didn't care for how much the cops drove threw nonstop, we are camping to get away from people and doesn't make me feel at peace wondering why so many cops always drive thru.
Beautiful spot on the lake. Clean campground, full hook-ups. Tent and RV friendly. Will stop here again!
Beautiful camp ground will definitely come back with my family!
Friendly owners. Very clean park. Shower units are new and spacious.
Nice camp host. Was quiet. Was less than half full. Clean shower house and vaulted facilities. Will return.
This campsite is beautiful. Loop B is much quieter with fewer guests. Loop A is a little more busy. Loop A: 2 smaller loops of campsites. A17,18,19 are very close to a little walkway that goes down to the lake. These spots are very hot and sunny in the morning, but shaded in the afternoon. Loop A has 1 set of nonflushable toilets that were surprisingly clean. Loop B: this is where the shower house and flushable toilets are. Showers were clean and water was hot. Showers had good water pressure. Loop B also has the playground which is right behind site B47. It’s a newer playground and all equipment was nicely maintained. There are no swings. Only complaint is that there are no benches or picnic tables at the playground so bring your camping chair if you plan to stay awhile. Further past Loop B the road turns to gravel and there is a parking lot with a walkway to the lake. This offers some small bluffs with deep water for jumping off. If you walk further around the corner to the right, it turns into a nicer “beach” style area with few rocks, although the mud can be a little thick after it rains. When we were here (July) the lake was pretty muddy but I’m not sure if it’s always that way or not. It was also pretty low, but still had plenty of fun and kayaked through all the little coves.
Great hosts. Nice shady spots with water and electric.
Outstanding park! Huge sites, brand new poswer poles, shaded, amd well patrolled for am extra feeling of safety. We had a great weekend! In the A amd B loops, very minimal cell service and very little opportunity to stream on the TVs. I also couldn't get any over the air channels but we weren't there to watch TV!
Just got back after 2 days there. Sites are spaced a good distance apart, nice clean lots with fire ring, picnic table and 30 amp. The flush restrooms are cleaned everyday and very nice. I picked site 69 which overlooks the lake and was less than 30 yards from water edge. Site very from 100% sun to 100% shade so you have a lot to choose from. Highly recommend it to anyone will will be back soon.
Simple trails, good online same day reservation system, sites list grade so you can find an even surface for your vehicle.
Way off the beaten path but we had a good time. The campground was clean and everyone was nice. It did get a little rowdy on the weekend but folks respected the quiet hours.
Bathrooms decent with showers.
T-Mobile and Verizon in places. Hard to get in a camper Several sites that can take advantage of Starlink.
Great trail network and very nice stock mo state park campground. There are 3 separate trail systems that do not connect, so take a minute with the map.
Site 47 right on the water great for kayaking and swimming. Water in the lake is high this time of year but fun is still to be had via fishing. Biking. Boating and kayaking
Just got back from 2 nights and could not be more pleased with the experience. Very well layout grounds, well marked camp sites, excellence shower, flush toilets and washer/dryer available and all public areas were very clean. I was at B lot Site 17 but would be better if water hookup was also at each site although public facet was close. Besides that, it was a wonderful weekend. Highly recommend this campground to anyone.
Truman Lake was flooded three years ago, since then Sparrowfoot has been completely updated with new water and 110V/30A/50A hook-ups. It seems since the updates many of the sites would be considered Family Sites as many are adjoined. We are at A21 which is fine, but very close to the next site. However, A19 has a better lakeview. Our host Ron and Karen drove by to chat and said they'd move us to A-19 (which is already reserved). We may take them up on it if it doesn't effect the other campers. There is a "Cozy Corner" RV Park just outside the entrance to supposedly get supplies; although sign said OPEN no one was there. So the Host gave us firewood free and we gathered plenty of driftwood for our fires. Walmart and town is just a few minutes away. At 12:30am I can hear distance hiway traffic. But the site is dead quiet on a Wednesday night too. We checked the showers and toilet s, they were clean and had just been hosed down. Fishing from our site is abou 200'. A19 is about 100'. As I write this I can hear the coyotes coming in. Water pressure is great, electrical is fine. Dump station is about 3 minutes away. The coyotes are getting close so I'm wrapping up to go inside. We are SUPER stoked to go fishing in the morning and check out the Dam and area shoppes. We will definitely be back, only 90 min. drive from KC area.
See beautiful scenery on the MO River & Katy Trail. You may get to see a paddleboat cruising the river. Cooper’s has spectacular sunsets, a boat ramp, dock, trails, bonfires, live music, and a very friendly atmosphere.
The Katy trail runs through the edge of the property, offering quick access to trail walking, hiking, and bicycling.
The general store has many options including a wide variety of food and drinks. It also has a small bicycle repair area set up outside.
I highly recommend the delicious Thai food restaurant on site.
Prices are very reasonable.
Nice COE campground. Sites were spacious with 50 Amp hook ups. Some sites had been receantly redone, new grass, rock pads and elec pedestals. There was no CG host so the reason for a one star for service but park was quiet and had no problems. Clean rest rooms and showers. We were on our way to Branson so it was just a one night stop. We camped at Sparrowfoot in a Travel Trailer.12.00@ Night with America The Beautiful pass.
The bathrooms are nice, fully functioning toilet, sink, and shower. The sites have nice trees for shade and are nicely spaced for hammocking. We went during the end of the usual camping season and had no problem getting a spot and didn't have anyone beside us. It was nice to hear the aircrafts from the base and next time we will bring our kids so they can experience it too. We will be returning since it was such a nice place with everything we needed.
Clean restrooms & shower stalls. RVs are packed in with little privacy in between. Camp host was friendly & helpful.
I was here during their weekend celebrating Oktoberfest. They had beer, food trucks andmusic. Awesome please, right on the river and live music
Leaving this magical place today. For anyone wanting to stay be aware they have live music Thursday through Sunday. They wrap everything up by 10pm and it’s very quiet late night. This weekend they had special events everyday related to the Katy trail right next to it. You will have water and electric but no sewer and no dump station on site. Plan your length of stay accordingly. In addition to the live music, food trucks come in and there is a cash bar/store with drinks, snacks, firewood and ice. It’s a very small campground and you are not walled off from the general public. If this is your style of camping you will really enjoy this place. Built in the 70’s on the banks of the Missouri River I had an amazing time. It was like being on vacation from my full time vacation lifestyle. I didn’t grocery shop the whole time.
Return visit to interior shaded site. Nice lakeside view, level staggered site, electric only. With temps in the high 90’s enjoyed the shade the trees provided. Did not disappoint
Hidden gem, south of Warsaw, near the Osage Bluff Marina on Truman Lake. Shaded electric only site with amazing view of the lake
Bathrooms clean. Quiet location. No cell coverage, more time to relax.
Enjoyed our stay!
Flat level gravel site with plenty of space to spread out with an amazing view of Truman Lake and Long Shoal Marina. Lakeside site with view of the open sky. Picnic table, fire ring
Poor Verizon coverage, TMobile a little better. Enjoyed lunch and breakfast at the restaurant in the marina.
With America the Beautiful Senior pass, cost of site was $10 per night
Clean bathrooms and showers. Dump station and fresh water fill station at camp ground entrance
Recommended
Nice view. Right on Missouri River. On Katy trail. Bathrooms are port a johns. Live music some nights.
The park attendants are fantastic! The shower house is clean and big! The toilets are clean and get cleaned often. I will be back!
