Boat access and fishing opportunities draw campers to this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Harry Truman Lake. The facility features multiple loops with wide driveways that accommodate RVs up to 68 feet, though most sites offer 30-amp electric hookups only. One loop provides 50-amp service, but these sites fill quickly through the reservation system.
The forested setting includes a day-use area with boat launch access included in camping fees. Each loop centers around a pavilion, making the layout work well for larger groups wanting to camp together. "Large wide driveways small loops," notes one reviewer, describing the practical site design that handles big rigs without tight maneuvering.
Campers find clean restroom facilities with flush toilets and showers throughout the campground. The lake setting provides swimming opportunities alongside the popular fishing access. Ticks are common in the wooded areas during warmer months, so campers should come prepared with repellent and check regularly.
For those wanting additional lake access options, Sterett Creek Marina sits nearby with different amenities and marina services.
