    Scrivner Road Conservation Area

    A hidden gem tucked away in rural Cole County

    First off there is camping here!!!! This Missouri Conservation area is a Swiss Army knife of rugged of the path camping. Rivers, Lakes, Gun range, Horses and hiking can all be enjoyed here. First come first serve basic camp area on the river. It has 1 fire ring in a gravel turnaround. Don’t let this fool you. This area has an abundance of wildlife equestrian trails and hiking. Getting too hot paddle on the lake located on the left Forck after entering. The area has a handgun, and rifle range with vault toilets. The pictures speak for themselves. Love this spot and will be planning another trip soon.

    Dry Fork Recreation Area

    Dry Fork Campground

    The Pine Ridge Campground a few miles down the road was full, so we ended up at 1 of the 8 sites here. This is an equestrian campground that allows non-horse campers, but prefers you check Pine Ridge first. We had a fine one-night stay while traveling through, but encountered A LOT of ticks on the overgrown trail. BEWARE of ticks and check yourselves and your pets if staying here. No cell service.

    Blue Spring Ranch

    Annual Retreat for the Family

    We have stayed at Blue Springs for three consecutive years in a row. We have children in tow, and love all of the amenities. We park close to the creek, we drive to the Meramec River and sometimes enjoy petting a horse or goat. Last year we zip lined. It’s close to the caverns and other awesome sites. Clean shower houses and a pool cap off the nice experience

    Lost Valley Lake Resort

    Family fun

    Lost valley happens to be one of our favorite camp grounds. They are extremely family friendly, they have an indoor pool, hot tubs, and sona, an outdoor pool and hot tubs, inflatable jump pillows, concerts almost every weekend, full hookups, plenty of tent camping sites as well, two swim beaches and several lakes on the property. If that's not enough try the horse back riding, or indoor mini golf, or grab a meal or a drink at the on site restaurant and bar.

    Bass' River Resort

    First time out...

    Been to this campground multiple times. This go around we pulled our popup down and chose a site with out hookups. (545) only negative things to say about the site was that it was very densely populated with trees. (Not a problem if you love shade or aren't trying to back in a camper for the first time). This site is right on the gravel bar and about 100 ft from waters edge. Great for relaxing and having a "beverage" while watching the floaters figure out life. Bathhouse is close by maybe a 100 yard walk. Pretty clean and maintianed. $0.50 cents for 5 min on showers. Hope this helps and happy camping!

    Huzzah Valley Resort

    Well maintained, big lodge/shop, beautiful rivers for floating

    Tent camped here in September. Only one river had floats on it due to low water that time of year. Beautiful area, clear water.  If you go in the early or later seasons be prepared to pull your raft a number of times. 

    The campgrounds were well maintained. One we used, and many other we saw, had small trees outlining the edges of the sites. 

    We had a group of people next to use who were very loud on Friday evening until past midnight . Saturday everybody was exhausted and slept. 

    As this place is near STL I imagine it's popular. I'm hesitant to return during busy season. Although there would be more float options, I imagine it would be very loud at night with lots of young drunk people. Not my ideal camping situation. 

    Also, the trip was expensive. Between the campground site and floating I think it was over $200 for the weekend.

    Ozark Outdoors-Riverfront Resort

    Great for small children

    Spent the weekend there with my family. We stayed in the “family” section. Positives: quiet time starting at 11:00 pm, we didn’t hear cursing, loud music, or anything else that disturbs little ones once they go to sleep, close to the river, clean restroom and shower house, shaded camping spots, clean grounds. Negatives: Nothing to report.

    Blue Spring Ranch

    Very surprised on value vs what you get

    About everything is extra cost fro wifi, showers, No tv reception, long walk uphill to showers and bathrooms, zip li e looked cool but wasn't working while we were registered, No close dumpster where ever it is you'll carry it or drive to it. Pool is small, the river is to far to walk to 2 to 3 miles one way and not maintained really for swimming or river rock and vehicles stuck in the pushed back river rock and sand. The camp grounds looked fairly clean only contact with employees was at the office/ store was nice. That's where you can pay to use the wifi system in the sites next to no use.

    Bass' River Resort

    Nice camping space but could be cleaner

    I’ve been here a few times but stayed here for a birthday weekend away! The resort was completely booked up so the camping areas were a little full but no problem! The showers and bathroom house was walking distance from our camp but unfortunately a few of the showers on the female side didn’t work and all were extremely dirty.. (Sanitary products left inside showers and on floors along with other things) the porta potty’s were also super close to overflowing is what a few guys in my group stated. But the employees and bus drivers helped make the float trip and transfer there super smooth!! Nice place to stay if you bring your own shower and toilet!!
