ScoutThis is a very clean and well kept campground. Some areas are very close together but I believe we are just all overnight campers in this area. They do have larger campground areas. The bathrooms are kept clean and have nice showers. The pool is also well kept. I would definitely stay here again!
TravelerWe stayed here in June of 2026. The Campground Managers were friendly and helpful. The campground and facilities were clean. We would stay here again. Nice area to explore.
GuideCalled MO Conservation Dept and verified it was ok to camp here. Woman told me eventually they plan on permitting, but as long as there aren’t >10 people, it’s fine. Arrived around 5 and drove past first few sites to minimize backing in. Big open graveled area where pit toilet is has a spot that is level and easy to maneuver with a 13’ trailer (or even much bigger). Clean site though bordering vegetation looks like poison oak. Can hear road noise but also birdsong. Two cars have passed by but no one else visible setting up camp at this point. Great for an overnight so far!
TravelerNice park, like alot nowadays lots of long term people. Bath and showers are fair. Laundry facilities are clean wit two washers and dryers. Wifi is poor can't get connected.
LegendThis is mostly permanent people. There are very few sites for short term travelers. We are in site 7. Level, Concrete pad, full hookups. (30-50 amp) Not much shade during the day but nice row if trees for afternoon shade. Several sites are along the road, with little room to spare. Bathroom and shower are in a separate trailer, along with laundry. ($1.50 wash, $2.00 dry.)
Horses and cows across the fence to the west! (The wind was blowing from the east.)
ScoutMy family and I have enjoyed Country Crossing RV Park. It is a great place to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet. Fishing is great and kayaking was enjoyed.
GuideVerdon Lake is a basic campground next to a small lake. Tent campsites are scattered along the lake's edge and each has a picnic table and fire ring. The area however has little parking and does not appear to be easily used by RVs or trailers. Grounds are well maintained and the vault toilet was clean and stocked. No trash receptacles, so be prepared to haul everything out. Cheap firewood is available nearby at the Verdon Fire Department. Can be a little noisy at night with highway traffic and nearby railroad tracks.
RangerAre you supposed to stay here? Probably not. There is a sign saying the lot is closed 10pm - 4am. Having said that I can’t imagine anyone being that worked up about it. There is some sort of long term RV place to the left but it doesn’t look used on the regular. We only stayed over night and we didn’t have any problems. Don’t be loud, trashy, disrespectful or move in for the summer and I think you’ll be fine.
RangerEasy to find and large parking area. Two fire pits in the grass to use but you can’t drive up to them. We were the only ones there and it was quiet. It was also 11° overnight so we hunkered down Isolde for the night and left in the morning.
