4 nights at Gasconade Hills Resort

The host was very accommodating. We arrived in the middle of the night and they worked with us for a quick and easy setup. Full hookup was conveniently located and worked well. Restrooms/showers were updated and clean. Very nice property and despite Mother Nature dealing them a few ruff blows, they are working diligently to continue improvements on their property.
