Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

We loved staying at Ken and Jen’s land! They were both super friendly and we had such a great time being able to watch sunsets on their little island on the pond!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

We tent camped here. We will be coming back. The campsites were well kept and the amenities were great. The fishing was also extremely fun for the kids and myself. We had fun in the sandy beach area and the kids didn't want to leave. The camp host was welcoming and helpful. This experience was a 5 out of 5 easily.

Weekend Trip to Four Creeks Campground

We had the most amazing weekend at Four Creeks! From the huge gorgeous tree at our site, to easy creek access, amazing rock hunting, peaceful scenery, the stars, and so much more - I can’t recommend this campground enough! In a great location with so many things around, you’ll never be bored. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Hammocks strung and swaying in the breeze Ken and Joan have a real gem of space in their hands. We were a multi generational group back for our second stay at Harmony lake. In four years the grounds have changed a bit but the hospitality and land is world class. You won’t find a nicer set of hosts in the county.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Harmony Lake is a beautiful property. Its really well taken care of. Lots of fun things to do. We caught lots of fish and had a great time camping. We love this place!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

This place is wonderful. It is my second time staying at Harmony Lake. The property is amazing. We had lots of fun playing on the beach, feeding the animals and enjoying the beautiful weather. The service from the hosts Ken and Joan is exceptional. They went above and beyond to help accommodate our weekend family camping trip.

Weekend Trip to The Magic Land Homestead

We had a wonderful visit to The Magic Land! What a cool little homestead. Laura Lynn is an absolute joy and a top notch host.

1 night at Earth, Wind & Solar Farm

We had a great experience camping here with our travel trailer. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and it is a beautiful property with a large pond and chickens. We enjoyed going for a walk in the neighborhood and had a very peaceful and quiet evening. This spot could not be any more convenient to I-70 but you would never know it. We definitely recommend it to other travelers in the area and would love to stay here again in the future. We also purchased the egg add-on which was delightful. Farm fresh eggs really added to the experience.

4 nights at Four Creeks Campground

The most beautiful, peaceful little creekside campsite I’ve ever been to!

Weekend Trip to The Pocket

the property was great! the RV was exactly what we needed. and the fresh eggs in the morning were a definite bonus!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

It is a beautiful little place. The peacock is loud and the geese are really mean. it is a unique place to stay. I stayed there for a shower while working so I didn’t get to take in all the amenities but it looks like a lot of other people have a lot of fun there.

Weekend Trip to Spring Lake Ranch

When we booked this on Hipcamp, we thought it was just camping- but it’s so much more! This place is super cool. When you arrive you are greeted by cows and horses, they also have goats. And as others have mentioned in the comments, the ranch dogs roaming around work hard at their jobs but are also as sweet as can be (interacted great with our dog as well!). We booked the campsites on the lake which was beautiful spot. The spots were a little closer together than we expected, but be we had no problem fitting our 8 person sized tent. This place had horse back riding, a dock for fishing, multiple great spots for gatherings and fire pits. They also have some really cool cabin rentals as well. It’s very family, kid, and dog friendly. The bathrooms are also very nice. If you are looking to plan a trip with a group this would be great place! Some campers next to us came with a group (some tent camped, some RV, and some stayed in cabins). If was so easy for them to meet up and had some large areas to hold little cookouts/fire pits gatherings. Overall, I would highly recommend. You can he’ll they take pride in their place and the experiences they offer.

Weekend Trip to Spring Lake Ranch

A lot of things to do. Great experience. Would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Four Creeks Campground

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

I went camping last weekend and had a great experience overall. The location was beautiful and peaceful, and the surrounding area was perfect for exploring. I was also impressed with the infrastructure—it was well-maintained and made the stay very comfortable. Even though the weather was rainy at times, I still had a really good time. It didn’t take away from the experience at all. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

The campground was very cozy and had plenty of amenities available. Easy driving distance from Elephant rocks and Johnson shut ins. Would definitely return!

Weekend Trip to D'Ranch at Clearwater

My kids didn't want to leave! They loved seeing all the animals but took a special liking to the two dogs, Ellie and Harley. We got a tour of the property on the four-wheeler, took the canoe out, had a fire, and enjoyed the cool weather and sounds of the roosters in the morning. We'd definitely love to return sometime. Great location and awesome hosts!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

My husband and I had such a great time! We loved how quiet and secluded it felt. The tent sites were well maintained, especially considering all the recent bad weather. Arcadia is a special place for us...would love to make this a regular place! Thank you!!

Lakeside camping in Missouri guide

Overview

The Show-Me State can certainly show you some gorgeous lakes, each with a vibe of its own. Lake of the Ozarks is at the center of it all, known as the summer destination in Missouri for those looking for a good time. Lively resort towns, like Osage Beach, offer shopping, restaurants, and attractions. To the south, the Branson area is known as a family-entertainment destination, with a backdrop of jewel-toned lakes and rolling green hills, while the chilly waters of Lake Taneycomo snake along the edge of downtown. Table Rock Lake is a hot spot for boating, fishing, and watersports, and Bull Shoals Lake straddles the Arkansas border and serves as a calm retreat. Quieter lake getaways can be found at smaller waterways across Missouri. Lakeside accommodations range from primitive tent and RV sites to luxury cabins—unique getaways may include glamping tents. Look for a Missouri lake campsite with water views and direct access for an unforgettable experience.
