Pulled in after dusk and was still easy enough to navigate. 3 designated spots with fire rings. Lots of bugs and very muggy. Can't wait to wake up to see how pretty it is.

It's off the beaten path but still close to everything," noted one camper about Majestic Oaks. Several campgrounds remain open year-round, including Lake of the Ozarks State Park Campground and facilities near Harry S. Truman Reservoir. Cell service generally remains strong throughout the region, with multiple reviewers mentioning reliable Verizon and AT&T coverage at campgrounds like Versailles City Park.

Families particularly appreciate campgrounds with recreational facilities, while outdoor enthusiasts find the proximity to fishing, boating, and hiking trails valuable. Several campgrounds feature boat access, with dedicated slips available at certain locations like Scallywag's RV Park, where sites can be reserved with boat slip access a short walk away.

Nice new section
Full hook up! Level concrete site. Lots of deer. Great trail along the river and cliffside.

Only as a last resort
This is a terrible set up. The RV sites are right between the auto entrance and exit, right on the gas station parking lot. You would need to be extremely desperate to stay here.

Nice COE campground
Had booked for over a Thursday-Sun stopover when heading out west. Had site C14 which has a beautiful view of the water but no direct access due to the brush between the campground and lakeshore. Hosts are super friendly and accommodating. Had to extend my stay for a few days due to truck issues and it was no problem booking the same site. No issue with mosquitos, but some days the flies were prolific. Showers are just okay, no bench in the handicap stall. All of the washers were out of order and I was told that they were not going to be replaced.

Nice quiet spot
This is a nice quiet campground. 10 minute drive into town, plenty of shops and things to do not far away. There aren't many things to do in the campground. The campground hosts regularly drive around to check on things and fix problems quickly.
