Best Equestrian Camping near Stockton Lake

While Stockton Lake itself brings a lot to the table, with beautiful blue water, cliffs to jump from, and close proximity to town if you are craving some ice cream (I suggest Squeeze Inn), the State Park and several of the other campground sites offered by the Corps of Engineers or by private citizens are always jammed together with few trees. This campground is an exception. There is plenty of room and the trees make your site feel much more private. If it isn’t full, I suggest Hawker Point as your first choice when headed to Stockton Lake

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.

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.

Cheap full hook ups at a nice lakeside campground, they also have a hotel and cabins that are nice getaways. The food at the restaurant is pretty good as well.

I enjoy camping here because the sites are spacious. The lake is clear and has good fishing. The bath houses leave a little to be desired. You have drive half a mile to get to them.

Just got home from a weekend stay at site C19 at Hawker Point COE Park. This particular site was just up the hill from the lake and completely private. The walk to the lake was about 50 yards and a little steep but we managed to carry two kayaks down and up without too much trouble (and we are a middle-aged couple), and it was totally worth the effort because it was as if we had our own private cove.

The site is very spacious and shaded with plenty of trees for our hammocks and clothesline. Lots of level places for tents. The park attendants were very friendly and helpful.

C19 has no electricity or water and the closest vault toilet is a good walk down the road. The shower houses were driving distance away. We have a shower tent, so that wasn’t an issue for us.

We drove through the rest of this park to check out A and B campground loops. A loop consists of full hookup sites and many sit right on the water. Little shade and crowded, but if you like to play on the lake all day these might be for you. B loop had pretty wooded sites but many were not close to the water. C loop is where it’s at!

Lake camping isn't my favorite because often times the sites are too close together for the privacy and quiet that I prefer that being said Hawker point is my favorite lake campground. Many sites are well spaced and shaded. Campground host is friendly

Tons of unique shaded spots with many on the water. Hilly terrain and dense woods make some spots feel very isolated and peaceful.

Hawker Point campground together with the lake is great. The campground was well kept, mowed, clean and fellow campers were friendly while at the same time respectful of others .

The lake is to die for. Water was clear clean and like glass. We have kayaks so our morning trips were accidently long, peaceful and awesome.

Make reservations early because it is full most of the time. Mon Tues, Wed seem to be the only openings if you wait too long.

Also, fill your rig with water before you go. There are no water hookups.

Nice spacious spots, lake views, friendly campers. Great Hosts! Clean and well maintained. Our favorite spot for camping at Truman Lake. Close to boat launch. Great fishing, lake is accessible from many sites.

This is a great family campground!!! It’s not nearly as busy as the state park which is awesome!!

This review should have gone under Berry Bend Campground. If fishing boating of all types is your thing this is it. This. Is a very large campground very well maintained. Showers flush toilets and pit.

What a nice getaway. No internet, no cell, no problem. Great beach with a beautiful view.

Upon entering, you can feel the magic created when human creativity meets divine inspiration. Warmly greeted with a smile and a tour of this wonderful retreat, I knew I’d be a frequent guest. This place has everything from axe throwing to free coffee and the property is engineered and planned very nicely. This is my new favorite camping spot!

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!

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!

Must be able to disperse. Very quiet but fairly goes to interstate. This was a great over night for us on our way back east. Finally no interstate noise! Owners are wonderful. We were able to even pick blackberries. If you have a trailer, use a spot near gate. Will still be quiet.

Great hosts, beautiful spot, was set up right next to the blackberries.

Hosts were awesome! We had a later checkin and they had the campfire with plenty of wood going on our arrival. They also had a small tiki torch burning and a s’mores starter package! Will get sample products today and we’re extending our stay.

Great spot to camp, very remotes. Great owners and hospitality. They had the fire already started for me as I arrived later in the night!

This place is wonderful and the owners truly care and do a great job! The farm is beautiful and trails are a wonderful walk through some beautiful nature. Me and my sister stayed for my birthday and had a blast. There is a bathroom on site and beautiful campsites with all that is needed for a great stay! Would recommend to anyone who wants a unique experience and to support local business with wonderful owners!

I stayed at the Pullin on over campsite, and it was nice. They supplied wood and were even nice enough to bring me some free samples of the lip balm and fragrances they sell. The site was pretty out in the open, and there was nothing too special about it. Overall I had a nice stay!

Teresa greeted me B with a smoked kit and complimentary lip balm. The solar showers are adorable, the whole camp ground is nice. There are trails and wood for Campfires. The honey berry hideout was my site it came equipped with a grill Andrea picnic table as well as a campfire and there is wood for fires around the property, I There is rec room area that I was able to use as a charging station. They have lots of little personal touches and best of all it was affordable, I can't say enough about how sweet they were. It was a pleasure to stay there. I wish there were more campgrounds like this around

Quaint Berry farm accommodating RVs. Host met us with welcoming gifts. Our site had electricity and water. Not all sites do. There is clean public restrooms and a solar hot water shower. They have a game room available for all to use. They also supplied wood for a fire. They supplied s’mores kit as part of the welcome kit. There is a water cube that even the dogs enjoyed on this very hot day. We picked fresh blueberries and enjoyed the walk thru the gardens.
