When I arrived I was upgraded to a site that had a small privacy wall a couple chairs and some neatly decorated route 66 paraphernalia on the privacy wall. The RV park has full electric, water and sewer hookups on each site. There is a bathhouse that contains men's and women's bathrooms with showers and a washer dryer area for campers use. I must say the bath house was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The park itself has a New Mexico midwest vibe to it even though it's in Southwest Missouri. Would definitely go there again.

We chose to camp right by the water down away from everyone else, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I loved the property, we were able to fish in the creek and the lake, it was perfect! Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the peace! I recommend staying here!

Just us girls, summer camping trip. Fourth year in a row coming to this site. No other can compare, in our opinion. It's quiet, seems somewhat secluded but still only 7 minutes from a Walmart and 3minutes from a gas station. It's also only 7minutes drive to beautiful Grand Falls. We love to float from the falls to our camp. Very relaxing. Lots of wildlife. The land owners, Phil and Angie, are both super nice and so are their dogs. The restrooms/showers are in good repair and cleaned often. The land is very rocky, consider that if tent camping. The river is always so clear, and it's fun to go see all the beautiful rocks and fish.
RV campers- there is a narrow somewhat steep incline/decline onto the property so that may be something to consider if your rig is really long but there were about 20 RV/Campers onsite already and they clearly figured it out just fine.
There is also a nice sized beach area open for all campers to enjoy. Always clean when we go. There are several trees but also a lot of open space as well. The on site lake with rope swing is always a hit with our group, too.
Overall, our favorite trip every year, hands down.

We stayed in our trailer for 1 night. We had a good time. There is a camp ground across the water and they party day and night. There is a little beach area but it is packed with non campers...think it must not be part of the camp ground.

Be sure the in app directions guide you to the right place (to a campground)! Maps sent me 10 minutes away to a church 😅
Luckily Angela responded immediately to my message to give me the address. I arrived late after a long drive.
I camped as a stop over on a roadtrip moving back home (solo female camper and I felt very safe).
The location is actually quite lovely and peaceful. The frogs sang me to sleep. There’s a central pond the camping is set around (with huge rope swing!) and the campground is set along a river, both waters an easy walk away (though I only swam in the river). Some of the tent sites are a ways away from the toilet, the RV sites being closer.
This was the perfect camp spot: friendly neighbors, peaceful sleep, I got a morning swim in before hitting the road, what else could a gal ask for!

It's was a great overnight stay and the river was a welcome break from the heat. I was a little nervous because other reviews mentioned how busy it is, but we just drove a little further into the campground and had no trouble finding a spot all to ourselves - and any groups quieted down well before dark. We have our own bathroom in the van, so I can't speak to theirs. But the hosts were incredibly nice, communication was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. I would definitely book again.

This was our 1st stay @ Marinia Del Ray! It was Great! We usually stay @ our Lake Keystone, but due to flooding, Marinia Del Ray was open for tents, RV camping & cabin rentals for our entire family. We were not disappointed @ this location. Such a lovely relaxing place & play resort. Done alot of fishing boating swimming. Deer eating @ our camp site every evening. This experience is worth a repeat. Definitely worth the drive to Grand Lake @ North Eastern Okla.

Stephanie responded to my request for the day I requested promptly. We were only there one night and they gave us a very level site so we didn’t have to unhitch our travel trailer. Can’t comment on facilities as we just pulled in overnight and didn’t use them.
Gravel sites but level pull through!
