The Hitching Post RV Park & Tiny Home Village

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Rough road access is the first thing to plan around at The Hitching Post RV Park & Tiny Home Village, a small established campground in Ava, Missouri, with full hookup sites featuring electric, water, and sewer connections at around $35 per night. The bathhouse has individual toilet and shower rooms, though reviewers note water availability at individual sites has been inconsistent. Long-term residents share the property, giving it a mixed-use character rather than a dedicated overnight stop. Campers who want a baseline with hookups and don't need polished amenities will find it functional; those expecting resort-level service or a well-staffed check-in process should look elsewhere. Nearby, Southern Missouri Off-Road Ranch offers a different experience for those interested in off-road recreation.

Has potential but needs owner attention

You can tell this property had potential; the owners have put a lot of $$ into installing sites w/electricity/gravel & a new bathhouse. But checking in was sketchy when “the office” is an unidentified building with a handwritten poster board, “Knock before entering.” I had to text before a young lady came out to show us to our site. The listing says all sites have water & trash. Not accurate. None in our site & water pumps at top of the hill were turned off. The only water avail was at the bathhouse….100 yards from our site. NO TRASH RECEPTACLES OF ANY KIND any where except a dumpster at the top of the hill at the office entrance. Individual toilet rooms w/showers were nice enough, but only 1 had toilet paper! Plus, the campground has long-term campers. We had no problems with that, but this is not a polished property; fairly primitive in overall experience … but with potential. Rather than post a public review which WOULD affect future customers, I sent a detailed text to the owner (?) with feedback & details that are easily fixable. I said I did not want to post a public negative review. It’s been almost 2 weeks now, & I received no response or acknowledgment. Perhaps the young lady who was on-site never gave the feedback to the owners who were “out of state”..???… I don’t know. But when customers attempt to provide actual info privately rather than on public blast, that’s a good thing. Oh well; I tried. Overall, this is “a place to stay.” And $35/nite w/elec is equitable. But don’t go to Hitching Post & expect what it’s not. I’m actually only disappointed the “owners”(?)may not have seen actual feedback that would help the campground.
