What to do
Fishing at nearby ponds: Eagle's Nest RV Resort and Arrowhead Point RV Park & Cabins Campground both offer fishing opportunities without leaving the campground. Arrowhead Point has "a nice small catch and release pond," according to Jason C., making it convenient for campers wanting to fish without traveling to Truman Lake.
Swimming pools during hot months: Several campgrounds maintain swimming pools for summer heat relief. At Lake Paradise Resort, "the pool is renovated and very nice. It is very large, zero entry, up to mostly around 5 ft deep with a small area that was 9ft; there is a children's area with a sprinkler," notes Julie B.
Hiking options: Some campgrounds feature on-site trails. "Nice park, hiking trails on site, spots are well maintained. Good amenities on site and very close to everything the Lake has to offer," writes Russ G. about Majestic Oaks RV Park & Campground.
What campers like
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Campground upkeep receives frequent positive mentions. At Sidetrack RV Park in Wheatland, visitors appreciate the "amazing amenities" with one reviewer noting the "community building is great entertainment when not at the track or watching boat races."
Family-friendly seasonal events: Lake Paradise Resort hosts special activities throughout the year. "We went to a movie outside there and fireworks for Memorial Day weekend," reports erica B., adding they "can't wait to be back for 4 of July!!"
Off-the-beaten-path quiet: Campers frequently mention peaceful settings away from crowded areas. James H. described Arrowhead Point as "Off the beaten path, quiet, we love it!" noting they were "Greeted by the owner and directed to our site. Once parked and hooked up, we were visited once more by the owner to see if anything else was needed."
What you should know
Site levelness varies by campground: Some parks feature more level sites than others. Jason C. mentions Arrowhead Point has "Level sites with full hookups. 30,50 amp, water, sewer on every site."
Seasonal weather considerations: Missouri summers can be hot and humid while winter camping requires preparation. Julie B. notes Lake Paradise has "quite a bit of poison oak around the fish cleaning area" and "shade at the pool is at a minimum."
Cell service limitations: Reception can be spotty depending on carrier and location. Julie B. reported "my phone (AT&T) could not get service" at Lake Paradise Resort, while other campgrounds may offer WiFi to compensate for weak cellular signals.
Campground rules differences: Osceola RV Park & Campground allows campfires while Sidetrack RV Park prohibits them. Brittany M. from Osceola RV Park warns "if you do the same just know you might see some people skinning deer in the middle of the campground" during hunting season.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access policies: Some campgrounds include swimming fees within camping rates, others charge extra. Julie B. explains at Lake Paradise Resort, "Included in your camp fee you get 2 free daily passes per night of camping to the pool and a discounted rate for any other swimmers."
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for parks with dedicated play areas. Becky M. notes, "No playground for kids" at Turkey Creek RV Park, so families should research before booking if this is important.
Road conditions for bikes/scooters: Surface types affect children's activities. Julie notes at Lake Paradise, "Roads throughout campground are gravel, not paved, if that makes a difference with kids bringing scooters or bikes."
