Stories from the community

Campsite 1 has a beautiful view and lake access is also very private it stays secluded by itself, with boat slip availability!

3 nights at DnD Lakefront Campground Lake Ozark

This campsite is so beautiful this site has a pretty steep hill but if you have a 4X4 you can drive down it easily ended up camping out in our bronco and our puppy loved it

2 nights at Big Rock Candy mountain

As previously mentioned, the shower house is amazing (and has AC) but they also have a great set up around camp. You can be as primitive or comfortable as you'd like and the host family is incredibly welcoming and friendly. They went over and above and helped us with a couple small issues we were having. Would definitely recommend!

6 nights at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

We have loved camping here at Riverbend. Some of the spots are in the sun and some have more shade - site 4 is great if need shade, site 8 has wonderful sun all day long! Nice and quiet and a nearby river is a great place to cool off in the afternoon.

3 nights at Ozark Hills Honey Farm

I enjoyed staying at Travis’s camp! He’s a friendly and knowledgeable beekeeper who taught me about bees and how hives work. He was super welcoming and made sure I had a comfortable, fun stay. If you like nature and want a unique experience, I definitely recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to Crooked Creek Ranch

Ross land was well maintained and very little road traffic/noise . The dogs had a great time running around while we relaxed. Definitional will be booking this site again.

Weekend Trip to DnD Lakefront Campground Lake Ozark

Very scenic and clean! Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Ozarks Piney Bend Riverfront

Great location! Came down with my buddy and his kids to enjoy a weekend away from the city. The kids had a blast hanging out in the cabin and sitting around the fire. Lacey gave great instructions and it was so easy to find. Would definitely come back again.

5 nights at B Berry Farms & Co.

I felt so at home while I was staying here. It was so peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Riverbend RV Park and Campground

This campground was probably the best one I have been at. It’s a small camp ground which me and my family loved. There wasn’t any through traffic with the kids running around. The only thing I would say is that be prepared to go on some step hills on gravel roads with narrow pathways. With it being only 20 min from haha tonka it was prefect for my family to go and hike during the day and relax in the quiet campground that evening. I would recommend this campground to anyone. We will definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Riverbend RV Park and Campground

It was a relaxing, quiet spot. Great views of the morning fog across the hill tops. Host were pleasant, polite and helpful.

2 nights at River Bluff Woods

In my opinion, one of the best Hipcamp sites in my area! Peaceful. Too much rain for me to venture down to the canoe—next time. Thanks, Jack!!

Weekend Trip to Riverbend RV Park and Campground

Nice campsite, host was very helpful and responsive

13 nights at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

The beautiful surroundings the trail down to the river is beautiful wooded area then you can sit out by the river it’s so beautiful!! Steven was very attentive and helped when I needed.

Weekend Trip to Crooked Creek Ranch

I took a group of six fellas for a one-night camping trip, here at Crooked Creek Ranch. Ross is a thoughtful host, and communicates very well before and during the campout. The campsite is as-advertised, without facilities, but Ross provided ample, non-potable water for fire dousing, washing, etc. He provided shovels for latrine use, but our group brought modified camp toilets, and took our waste with us, bagged. The picnic table and bench were in very good condition. The cleared area is well maintained. We endeavored to leave the campsite as pristine or better than we found it. Some nearby animals gave us a great, musical serenade early in the evening, and early in the morning, but a quite night in between. Although I didn't bring my travel trailer on this trip, I can see how it would be an awesome place to bring it in the future. It really is a picturesque, peaceful place. If this is your plan, be very mindful of your antennas, and awning. There are many, low tree branches between the pipe gate and clearing area. I wish we had booked two nights instead of just one, and hopefully, Ross will have me back another time. Five stars.

1 night at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

Good sites. A hot shower and clean toilet. Steven is a super nice guy.

1 night at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

Great site and beautiful property! Steven’s directions were easy to follow and lead us right to the site!

2 nights at Wildflower Camp, Hike + Swim

Jon and lads were excellent hosts. The site was extremely secluded and beautiful. The fireflies at night were a bonus. I just wish I had more time

4 nights at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

Absolutely outstanding! We arrived late the first night, and our camp host was there and waiting, and generously helped back in our rv, since only half of our party was able to make it up the first night! He was extremely helpful and around and on the property most of the time cleaning and fixing it up! Beautiful small secluded campground, great if you're looking for water, fishing, trails, atv spots, and enough space to have pets and kids!! We will definitely be back to this spot in the future! Beautiful spot and can't wait to see it grow and develop the next time we come out to visit!! Thank you so much for an amazing getaway for our family!

Great for dry camping OR Parking near the front of the property (with a hose and electrical with extension cord connected to 15-amp standard household outlet - you need an adapter). Small functional farm for animal lovers - goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowls, chickens (animals vary by time of year). Pond has fish. Short drive to Lebanon (all amenities), Bennett Spring State Park, and Springfield. 1.5 hours to Branson, Table Rock Lake, and other state parks. Fresh eggs with advance request (subject to availability). Vehicles + trailers (combined) greater than 30 feet not recommended when grounds are wet. May be difficult to turn around. Comments: 1) Please excuse the mess - we have many projects in progress in the front of the property. The back of the property is private. 2) We recommend repellent for ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, and other bugs during warm season. 3) The Cicada season usually starts in May. We recommend earplugs if that sound bothers you. 4) During heavy rain, there is a seasonal creek leading to the back of the property that can be difficult to pass without a 4X4. If you aren't driving a 4x4, park closer to the house on the gravel driveway. 5) There is a walking trail around the perimeter of the property.

Relax at the Lake of the Ozarks

5 sites · RVs5 acres · Sunrise Beach, MO

Filled with natural wonder, opportunities for recreation and relaxation and a few quirks, the area is a little misunderstood even by many Americans. The Ozarks region is as famous for the Lake of the Ozarks as it is for the mountains that the area is named after, largely because of the sheer size of that particular body of water. With its various arms and nooks and crannies, the lake has 1,100 miles (1,770km) of coastline, which is more than the state of California. It’s no wonder it’s such a popular spot for boating and watersports, with so many places to dock and so much water to explore. The lakes and rivers of the Ozarks are rich with fish, particularly several species of bass and catfish, as well as trout, crappie and carp, all of which attract many recreational fishing boats. There are also more unexpected water creatures like small freshwater jellyfish, which are not believed to be native to North America but do periodically appear in the Lake of the Ozarks, particularly in late summer and early autumn. Looking for a serene getaway with stunning lake views and a touch of green? Look no further than our 5-acre Hipcamp site overlooking the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. With a dispensary just half a mile down the road, you can unwind and enjoy some fresh greens while taking in the breathtaking scenery. So come kick back, relax, and soak up the tranquility of our little slice of paradise. Book your stay now and let us help you create unforgettable memories!
