Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents16 acres ¡ Reeds, MO
The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like.   We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!).   Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

The best camping near Stockton State Park guide

Overview

About

Stockton State Park is one of mid-America’s best sailing lakes. Set sail for your own cruise on these clear Missouri waters—or just enjoy the relaxing views of the boats floating by, with the green hills of the Ozark Mountains along the horizon. While this park is enjoyable year round, summer brings the full menu of activities, including boating, paddling, fishing, swimming, and scuba diving. Five trails for hiking and mountain biking offer lake views. A fully stocked marina offers watercraft rentals or you can bring your own and depart from one of the park’s boat launches. RV and tent campsites, as well as cabin rentals, are available.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for serenity: The walk-in tent sites in the West Campground provide the best privacy, as they are tucked away from the road in a wooded setting.
  • Best for big rigs: The West Campground has several sites with 50-amp hookups.
  • Best for long stays: The dump station, laundry facilities, and woodlot are located in the East Campground.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Reservations may be made up to 12 months in advance through the Missouri State Park website or by phone. 
  2. Advanced reservations are recommended during the summer peak season, especially for weekends and holidays.
  3. Both campgrounds are open year round, with showers and water available April 1 through October 31. 
  4. A two-night stay is required on weekends, either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday.

When to go

Summer is the busy season, as lake activities abound under the full sun. Expect high temperatures topping 90°F, with high humidity. The lake waters are refreshing. Spring and fall are cooler, with less activity in the water, though boating is possible through much of the year. Fall is a popular camping time in the Ozarks, due to the pleasant weather and the colorful leaves filling the hills. If camping during the winter, come prepared for potential freezing temperatures and occasional snows.

Know before you go

  • Cell signals may be limited.
  • Water is not available at individual campsites.
  • During the off season, potable water is available at the camp office’s frost-free spigot.
  • An onsite restaurant offers simple fares at the marina, accessible from land or water.
  • The marina is open seasonally, April through October, with extended hours between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
