"Close to Springfield right off the highway, real close to where we needed. Has everything you could possibly need in a camp grounds."
"Nice park that's close to 1-44, James River Parkway, and unfortunately a railroad crossing. So you will hear a train horn on occasion, but no highway noise. We will come back here and stay again."
"What a wonderful gem just outside of Springfield Missouri. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, close to lots of attractions in the area."
"The staff was super friendly, and accommodating and when I arrived at around 7pm they were available to show me to my spot, and offered to help me get set up."
$7 - $48 / night
"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."
"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."
"It is right near a few shopping centers but in the back of a trailer park and very quiet. They had good internet access for free."
"Affordable and right on edge of town"
"Basically just a parking lot behind Lambert's Cafe, but with full hookups for $30. Self serve station for registering makes it easy. Relatively quiet considering it's location."
$12 - $25 / night
"Our spot had electricity and was all by itself tucked in the back corner which was perfect! We were a cpl min away from the River which made for a beautiful walk!"
"The RV sites are a little small and close to each other, and you can tell some people are long time campers."
$14 - $24 / night
"Campground has private boat ramp and parking away from public use so things stay secure overnight. Short walk to beach area is nice. Will be back again"
"The swim beach is a little far from the camp, but if you walk down the trails there are great places to swim near camp including "Chicken Rock" a large island out in the lake the kids love to swim to and"
"This state park is one worth a stop when near Springfield. I drove north toward this park to enjoy something a bit different and found it to be very peaceful during a weekday. "
"A trout fisher dream, as one of Missouri’s 5 hacherys are here. Fun for this kids to see the amazing amount of fish."
$12 - $42 / night
"The campsite was large with an asphalt path and a nice spot for my tent. First weekend in May and the park was pretty much full. My campsite close to the facilities."
"Nice campground with a paved walking/cycling trail from boat docks to the dam. Nice showers, fairly level campsites. Fishing within walking distance."
RangerWe stayed 2 weeks with other family in a camper in site 129 but had to move 2 times in order to stay at the campground. It’s popular so make your reservations early! You can do everything online, which is convenient. Each site was easy to back into and level at. There was a firepit, picnic table and a pole to hang a lantern on at each site. They give you a bag to put your recyclables in. 115 did not have water, but there was water access close enough to fill our tank. It also had immediate access to the walking path around the lake. We were on that path with the whole family almost everyday. There are access points to get down to the water along the trail. We also put in our kayak within walking distance to 115. We walked to see the Branson Belle and also to the marina where you can buy $1 bags of fish food for the carp and turtles. The laundry was clean and easy for a couple loads during our stay. The camp hosts were sweet and helped check us in at each site and even tracked us down when we accidentally left a lantern between moves. We’ve already made our next reservation to stay again. Complimentary WiFi was great at 130, 131 but not at 115. We had a good Verizon signal during our stay. Easy couple minute walk from 115 back to our family at 129 but would recommend booking together if staying with a group. Dumping area was clean and easy to access on our way out.
ScoutIm From ohio that's were i stop to go out west the first time there google maps were wrong ! So I drove around the block and found it. There is NO locked gate nice little spot cows across the street after 12hrs riding good enough for me
ScoutThird time we have stopped here, and the third time was just as good as the first. David is doing a great job taking care of all us Happy Campers. It's not the biggest park but has excellent facilities that make up for its size.
ScoutSmall campground but worked great for us they have a nice swimming pool, although we didn’t use them the showers and laundry looked nice. It’s hilly (hey this is the Ozarks) but the sites themselves are pretty level most RV’s are leveled somewhat. You can walk to some attractions. One thing——sightseeing helicopters arrival path is right over the campground so that’s only significant noise.
TravelerThis posting looked good to us, and we put it in our itinerary for a boondock stop. When we got there we found a locked gate across the entrance to the conservation area!
We were tired from a long drive with a bunch of rain near the end, and we ended up just sleeping in the parking lot. it was actually comfortable and level enough, which is why I'm not giving this one star.
GuideWonderful 'Ma & Pa' hosts! Very sweet people. This camp is on a hillside that is terraced at each site. Nice & quiet for the most part. There are several permanent residences here, some working on vehicles & such in the late afternoon & evening, sometimes a bit loud and/or noisy. After dark, everything was quiet.
GuideBeautiful park. Bathrooms were clean and my wife even commented on it. Camp hosts were friendly.
ScoutThis is a city park with a mile walking loop, playgrounds, bathrooms, a couple spots with RV power hookups, and a dump station. The first night is free and then it's $20/night up to 7 nights in a thirty day window. It is right by the train tracks, but we were able to sleep through once we fell asleep.
When you cross the train tracks, turn right and the RV park is passed the aquatic center. There are about 7 spots, at least 3 with electric hookup. First come, first served and you call the number on the sign to register.
GuideMill Creek has been one of my favorite places. It's absolutely beautiful here, almost if not all of the sites have a lake view. The bathroom/ shower house are very clean! We plan on coming back in the fall. If you can get a spot we would definitely recommend!!
