"Lake Mozingo is near the College Town of Maryville, Missouri. My experience is limited, but I’d say it’s pretty nice here. And inexpensive."
"Nice sites close to the lake with electricity water and wifi."
$25 - $30 / night
"The park is huge and takes you along an hour long historic trail that has old settlements, ruins of workshops and beautiful view-points of the Missouri river from the bluff edges."
"We pulled up as you literally drive through a bunch of open farmlands to get here and it was almost a little spooky because we did not see anyone."
$30 / night
"The Missouri River is right there, you can take trails to get there or drink be. The Indian Cave is along the river. Not my belief it’s a real cave but there is a historical aspect to it."
"The park also has a store, a museum, horseshoe pits, archery, trails, and boating on the Missouri river. There is a cemetary and an old restored town."
$7 - $25 / night
"We arrived around 8 pm and even though the office was getting ready to close, the woman behind the counter was very kind and helpful. She helped us with finding our spot and with getting firewood."
"Small park.sites are right next to each other. Picnic tables and fire pits are on site gravel. All roads are narrow one way with the dumpstation at the back end of park with trash dumpsters there."

"Loved that the tent camping sites were actually surrounded by trees, I see way to many tent campsites that are basically just in the middle of a grass field."
$39 / night
"We stayed at camp area 3 which is way more wooded and deep inside the conservation area with access to the river right on the site."
"Just spent the night here on our drive through to KY.
Seems there are lots of things you can do while here, besides camping: fishing, birding, hiking & horseback riding."
"There is a lake/ river at the edge of the property with fish, plenty of frogs and I even saw a beaver or otter swimming across it. You can fish but it is catch and release."
"We travel with a dog and so much lush green grass to explore and walk was a plus for us. There is a dog park but I didn’t look for it so can’t comment on it. Didn’t use the bath house either."
"Nice out of the way location.
no services of any kind, there is a shelter house, and trash barrel.
nice place to get away from people"
"But there are actually two locations to camp there are multiple camp spots near the entrance, and also more if you drive down to the boat ramp, there are a few around there also."
GuideA little dusty, gravel sites, i was in 29.. has pool , updated facilities, playground..
GuideWe booked at the last minute while traveling through and heading home. When we came in after hours, we had our envelope ready with a map and route to our campsite. The campsites were nice, level gravel sites. The dogs enjoyed all the extra room, grassy areas, and small trail to explore.
LegendJust stopped for one night. Some highway and train noise whenever outside. Neighbor playing music outside late at night (after 10pm) which was annoying. Came after hours and name was left on board with check in info: Sites are nice with trees and vegetation but not very level. Dog park is nice though
Would recommend for a stopover
RangerWe were traveling and was looking for an overnight stop. This was very easy off the interstate but once there you felt like you were miles out in the country. Yes.. if you were listening for it you could hear some road noise. But it really wasn’t invasive at all. The sites appear mostly all level and gravel. We had a pull through and it was perfect for overnight. Full hook up and shade. We travel with a dog and so much lush green grass to explore and walk was a plus for us. There is a dog park but I didn’t look for it so can’t comment on it. Didn’t use the bath house either. Owners were great and met us even after hours when we arrived to make sure we were in the spot correctly. Would definitely recommend. They have a few tent sites that looked very nice. Site A was really tucked into the back and had lots of vegetation and privacy. The pool was small but was clean and fenced.
RangerI took my skoolie there, and I thought we were supposed to park near the cabin, however, it's the part to the left of the cabin that we are supposed to camp at. The website actually forbids anybody camping around the cabin, so you need to use the campsites directly to the west, where there's a bunch of piers, sites, and bathrooms. We drove down 322nd Rd. to get to our site near the bathrooms across from the maintenance building. That road is gradual enough that I was able to get my short bus down it safely without tipping over.
The management guy here is pretty cool and he let me know that it's a 7 day stay not 14 hung out and pet my dog and talked to me for a little bit. That was pretty nice.
TravelerWe're the only ones camping here. Some people come to fish during the day but it's dead at night. Clean pit toilets. Will definitely be back.
GuideWe arrived on Sunday at 3:30 pm & office closed. Booked online which stated campground would assign spot. No one around & placed 2 calls unanswered. Selected a spot, spent night & left in AM. Campground needs work.
Scout$5 for a tent, water, shower and electricity to recharge devices. Perfect amenities for bikepacking.
GuideNice little camp spots. No amenities available. But there are actually two locations to camp there are multiple camp spots near the entrance, and also more if you drive down to the boat ramp, there are a few around there also.
