Best Campgrounds near Shell Knob, MO

This posting looked good to us, and we put it in our itinerary for a boondock stop.  When we got there we found a locked gate across the entrance to the conservation area! 

We were tired from a long drive with a bunch of rain near the end, and we ended up just sleeping in the parking lot.  it was actually comfortable and level enough, which is why I'm not giving this one star.

Site 46- Love love love this place! Camp host are great, bathrooms/ Showers are very clean.

We spent a weekend in early May in campground 1 backing right up to one of the creeks. The sound of running water alone would have me back. Electric only and not very level site but loved it! Lots to do and see at the hatchery and play in the river. Hikes were overgrown but beautiful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful park. Bathrooms were clean and my wife even commented on it. Camp hosts were friendly.

Stopped in in the middle of the week, opening week of spring turkey season so expected a few other people there, not a single spot was open, and most looked to have been there longer than 14 days. Had to leave and find somewhere else.

Unique camp site on a horse meadow. No worries the horses are not on the same spot during your stay. Rustic camp ground with a picnic table and a fire pit with wood. Water and a vault toilet are a short walk away. We enjoyed the campfire, stargazing and the sound of a nearby owl a lot. We only did an overnight stop but the kids wanted to stay longer. Very friendly and helpfull host.

Well maintained installations, friendly and helpful staff, very close to many local attractions. Fair prices and they keep working on improving the facilities. I will definitely recommend you this place, i will gladly come back to this campground. Our side was close to the road, but we didn’t hear a thing at night.

This campground was so beautiful and easily accessible! I loved the proximity to town and easy access to the Coler mountain bike trails, walking trails, and super cool cafe in the middle of the woods. The restrooms, fire pits, and tent platforms were well kept and clean. Defiantly the nicest restrooms I have ever experienced at a campground! Ben, the campground manager, was also super friendly and knowable about the Coler and anything in the Bentonville area. I really appreciated all of his help!

This was the last stop of a 5 week outing for me, and I booked a single night the day before arrival, looking for a full hookup place to dump my tanks and winterize on my way home to northern IL, where the temps were below freezing.  The staff was super friendly, and accommodating and when I arrived at around 7pm they were available to show me to my spot, and offered to help me get set up. Showers/ restrooms/ laundry are all in one building, and very clean and well kept. The park is adjacent to a large field where my dog was able to run to her heart's content, which was very welcome after being in other campgrounds where I had to keep her on a leash at all times. This was really just an overnight for me for convenience, but if I ever want to hang around Springfield MO for a few days, I'd definitely stay here again. 

Spaces are packed gravel, pretty level. As others have said, it's convenient to I40, just a few minutes away, and quiet at night.

Mark Twain National Forest is always a great getaway. This location is tucked away from the main road and is easy to get to. Could easily get 4 rigs + in the sight. Established fire ring (be mindful of burn bans). Close to Roaring River and Table Rock lake.

We have stayed at this campground several times and Anna is there to answer all your questions and really take care of you. This is close to Roaring River and Table Rock Lake. You are also close to Cassville if you’ve forgotten anything or want to eat out!

Pretty remote. Quiet. Tick dog tried to get through the tick gate but failed unfortunately. No table. Burn ban, so no fires. No ticks. Hard to get to in the dark, but nice scenery.

Stayed 3 nights. Weekend had a few family gatherings near us, but the weekdays we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Campground is well maintained with beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. We were in upper section (electric only) - the lower section next to the marina has full hookups. There are a few pull-through, but most sites are back-in and long enough for al most any rig.
