"We walked the dog around a little and she enjoyed that. Just across the street from Laura ingles wilder museum and home."
"Beautiful yard, walking trails and playground with resident kitty. Convenient location across from Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. Would definitely stay here again!!"
"There are some trails from the sites to the river but nature has mostly taken them over and it is not a safe trek."
"Beautiful scenery with good hiking nearby. Sites are first come, first served, but so worth the risk! We LOVED it!!"
$50 / night
"There is plenty of wildlife around and a lake not too far away from you. It is around 20 -25 dollars a night. I think this place is perfect for a wedding"
$15 - $135 / night
"Generator camping is far away from everyone else so that’s nice.
There’s limited bathrooms and showers but I think that’s going to change soon with additions to the grounds."
"I made the 10 hour drive in my jeep to stay at SMORR and hit the trails. The campgrounds are nicely maintained, the bathrooms and showers were always clean."
"Lots of green space for walking the dog.
The not great: this is definitely a primarily permanent resident and we were definitely the interlopers at the site."
"We were in a close to level spot with newer looking hook ups."
"If you’re traveling through southern Missouri and looking for a park to stay in, this is a great choice! Right off the interstate and easy to get in to."
"You can walk or drive up the road for beach river access thats safer. Felt safe here. Well maintained. Large sites (trees) big rv friendly with easy loop gravel road. No verizon cel service."
GuideWe stayed at this campground 1 night on our way between COVID-19 quarantine locations. We found the park easy to navigate (no tight turns). Large semi paved spaces (I say semi paved because the concrete pads were crumbling at least in our spot). Good separation between sites with picnic tables, no shade but they do have a dog park. Hookups were easy to reach and appeared to be in good repair. Decent water pressure. Many of the spaces were permanent campers or long term workers but it felt safe and appeared well maintained.
TravelerThis is probably an excellent site in spring or fall. However summertime is hot at the site because of the lack of shade trees. Site 15 is by the water and has a large area for dogs or family. There is a staircase down to the water next to site 8. The fishing is good. It’s a pet friendly site however if your dogs bark neighbors will complain. The manager is friendly. They do not have trash pick up service; you just take your trash to a dumpster at the end of the camp, which is not a big deal. No grill available but has picnic tables and fire ring. WI-FI aid very good.
TravelerQuick lake access, spacious, shady space, pet friendly, amazing bathhouses.
TravelerGreat staff! Biggins in the ponds, and great music events! The rv park at the top of the hill is great and pet friendly!
Fish on!
ScoutMy wife and I camped here for four nights. Overall it was nice, but there were some things that I wish we knew. The location is great in the sense that it’s easy to get to and it’s laid out well. Unfortunately, it’s directly under an overpass and it is loud- loud enough that I used ear plugs at night.
It’s located on the White river and has a very nice gravel boat ramp, which is a big positive. It also has fishing access during low water.
The WiFi is excellent and the staff are super helpful and friendly.
The biggest plus for us is the bathrooms were among the best that we have found. They’re clean and fairly new.
There is plenty of property to walk and they were very pet friendly. It looks like many of the guests are long term residents.
TravelerChose this location to be our hub while completing a Missouri springs tour. Visited 8 springs in total. Checked out the camping facilities at every spring that offered camping. All locations looked similar. The grounds were well kept and all the folks working their we’re courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very short drive to get to the spring & mill. Wouldn’t call it a “hike” but a very nice path to take a stroll on a loop at the mill. Highly recommend.
ScoutStayed one night while visiting Springfield. Mostly long term campers. Transient campers are placed near the entrance and close by (about 100 yds) I44. The only meadows are around the outside. All gravel on roads and sites. I do not recommend this place unless loud road noise does not bother you.
RangerWe stayed in 2 spots. The first one was beautiful and not much traffic. The next 3 nights, we felt like we on a highway. We also had people walk right through our camp on more than one occasion to walk their dog then left their waste. And no sewer hook up, cell service, wifi or TV.
TravelerSuper nice people and great price for full hookups. We walked the dog around a little and she enjoyed that. Just across the street from Laura ingles wilder museum and home.
