Warsaw, MO · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
We have two private sites, a primitive campsite directly on the Lake of the Ozarks, and a RV spot with full hook-ups (water, 50 amp AC, and sewer). The two sites are separated from each other, but both have access to the lake, including kayaks, a canoe, a paddleboat, excellent fishing, a boat-ramp, floating dock and a one-mile perimeter nature/hiking trail.
*** NOTE *** From January until early May, the lake level is dropped about five (5) feet, so boating and fishing access range from difficult to impossible (though, arrowhead hunting is a fun activity you might enjoy during the low water months!).
Primative Campsite - A private 1.5 acre campsite with a firepit (and plenty of wood to burn in it) and direct access to the Lake of the Ozarks. Amenities and features of the campsite include: a private camp toilet with a door and a concrete pad, picnic table on a gravel pad with an umbrella, a fully equipped cornhole game, fishing pole holders, a garbage can, three (3) level wood tent platforms, and even a big swing set!
RV site - the RV site also has a picnic table with umbrella, a garbage can and a fully equipped cornhole game. Nearby, the RV site also has access to a very nice private pit toilet, a gazebo with lights and an electrical outlet, and a firepit stocked with firewood.

Sunset mountain is hands down the best hip camp experience I've had so far. The camp ground is a beautiful park in a natural setting. The views from the pool deck are just awesome . Host James has built the best nudist friendly oasis I've been to is many years . This place is the greatest.

We loved our 3 night stay at 38 Special! The grounds were pristine! The facilities featured 6 clean, individual shower/bathrooms with laundry machines in the building as well. The outdoor grilling area was spot on and was right next to the gorgeous infinity pool that overlooked the lake. Swim beach was soft sand and had a great platform to jump off of. You could also rent boat slips at a very reasonable price! Sarah was an excellent host and we will be back again!

1 night at Explore the Ozarks - Dockley Ranch
I was invited 4 years ago and finally made it. I desperately needed time to myself (alone) to reset and to find peace. Dockley Ranch is a sanctuary, a place to just sit still and feel the natural beauty of this planet. I had everything I could need including coffee. Instructions were clear. I was welcomed by employees who gave a tour of my cabin and explained how every thing worked including a friendly visit from the Alpaca.
Recommendation. Bring bug spray for the trail. I brought some amazon boxes to use as a fire starter. Bring flip flops for the shower or to have in hand to enjoy the waterfall. Follow their driving directions and drive slow. Enjoy the views. I plan on bringing my children next.

This campsite was perfect for a 4th of July weekend! Dianna was a very kind host and the property is very private, far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy the lake and everything it had to offer. The walnut trees provided lots of shade for camp and the bathroom was super nice. Lots of open space to play yard games as well. Would definitely recommend.

This place is such a great spot to spend the evening. Storms rolled through on us the entire time, but it was such a good spot that we really enjoyed sitting under our awning watching the river roll as the storms came through. The hosts are great and our dogs (and cat) had a great time exploring the water, fields and woods that surround it. Great views, great privacy… this one is definitely on our favorites list for the future

Our first family camping trip and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. We tent camped in beautiful site 1. The privacy was very nice, had the cove pretty much to ourselves. The site upon arrival was very clean, stocked fire wood, turf grasspad down for tent comfort. We were worried about flooding being in site 1 from the rain, but the run off water is directed away from your camp area and we had no flooding. It was amazing to walk into the water from our campsite with the amazing view. Directions were good. Gravel road and some paved. Porta potty on site as well. Thank you Debra for the family memories!

This is a beautiful spot with a nice peaceful pond. Caught a couple fish. The property is in the county yet close enough to easily get to Republic or Springfield. The Geese, ducks and chickens were also entertaining. Wonderful hosts as well. We felt like we had the place to ourselves but knew they were available if needed. Will definitely stay again if we’re out that way again.

Simply the best! Beautiful waterfront location. Every amenity that you need or want. Easy booking and fantastic communication. This was our third stop on our first RV trip, and definitely the best. We have been spoiled forever after visiting 38 Special. Everything is clean and easy to access. The pool was perfect, plus there are gas grills available in the covered pool patio. We used the gas grills for easy cooking every day. Bathhouse was clean and has private rooms for shower/toilet/sink. We also took advantage of a boat rental right from the docks at the camp. Chef’s kiss perfection! Sarah is the manager and you could not get a better host! Thank you so much for a fabulous visit, can’t wait to come back!
