Campers at this Missouri campground appreciate the natural beauty and seclusion it offers, with highlights like the scenic views and proximity to the Niangua river. Steven, the host, is frequently praised for his helpfulness and prompt communication. While most reviews are positive, a few mention challenges with the terrain, especially during rainy weather, and the need for careful navigation of gravel roads. Overall, it's a peaceful spot for those looking to enjoy nature and have a quiet getaway.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
The pretty bird singing was an amazing way to wake up each day!
We stayed at Site 11 which is a "primitive" tent camping spot, but with great wifi access included, I'm not sure how primitive it is, haha!
There is a shower house, more of a shed. It has one toilet and one shower.
It is clean and nice. I would recommend placing your used tissue/toilet paper in a trashbag and not the toilet because it is a country septic system.
The terrain is steep and rocky at times, just be careful to watch your footing and remember, you are on top of a Missouri "mountain". It's going to be hilly.
We saw deer, turkey, lizards, eagles, hawks, fish, turtles, dragonflies, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We are so so grateful to Steven because Riverbend is truly magical!!! We did endure the rain, but everything dried up pretty quickly.
There is a Dollar General not too far, but outside of that it will be about 30 minutes to town so get what you need beforehand.
At the tent site, there were shade trees (such big, beautiful trees), a picnic table (loved it!), and a fire ring (perfect to cook on, we brought grates).
There was some rocks under the tent, but nothing too bad at all, we laid a tarp under our tent and we were good to go.
Definitely recommend keeping yourself protected from bugs, you'll be in nature so we're technically in their home.
I'm so happy we found this nice, quiet gem of a place.
Thank you, Steven, we look forward to returning!

Beautiful spot, easy to find, clean and secluded. Water access is nice but may be difficult for some to go to but would recommend 👍

Site 12- Riverbend Primative
We weren't able to stay there due to the struggle of the terrain to get in and out comfortably (it was due to rain that night). While scenic, there was a water crossing and significant sand to get to the site. We were riding motorcycles and I felt it would be too sketchy trying to leave the following day.

The area is beautiful and being close to the Niangua river in the morning is also amazing!

We had an amazing stay on Steven’s land!! We had issues getting to the site, and Steven was super easy to get ahold of and gave us great directions. The site was beautiful, and we had a great time visiting Ha Ha Tonka State Park.

This property is so gorgeous. That was my favorite part. Steven was super nice and available to help out. And, I appreciated the bathroom. Keep in mind you'll drive on a gravel road for 4 miles. We didn't notice that part until we saw it on Google Maps. Ha Ha Tonka State Park is less than 10 miles away.

Beautiful property off the beaten path. Nice amenities such as WiFi, picnic tables, fire rings and bath house. Amazing host who was very responsive. We were the only campers so we had to place to ourselves. The spots are close together so it may have felt a little tight had the campground been full, but we had a great experience.

It has a beautiful view, nice hookups and it's close to the beautiful Niangua river. We spent one afternoon hiking at HaHa Tonka state park. That was a great experience.

My timing was bad for camping here.

Site 10 - Riverbend Campground
My experience at Riverbend was not a very pleasant one. Bad timing on my part mostly. It's fairly close to HaHa Tonka State Park which was amazing and that day was a warm sunny day, otherwise early April was bad planning. My dog and I were the only ones in the campground which made it a little scary. Never saw another person the whole time. The water faucet on my reserved site was busted and sprayed the whole time I was there. Couldn't use it but I was able to fill my holding take instead. I came in from the east off D Hwy. No matter which way you come in you're going to be on gravel for a while. The campground is up a very steep hill although it was well graded and in good condition. Needed four-wheel drive and low gear pulling my camper up. Coming in from the west is also part gravel which is not a problem although you will go through two water fords and cross the narrow, no railings Whistle bridge over the Niangua River. I preferred the way I came in from the east. Had four days reserved and ended up forfeiting the last day due to storms moving in. Spent part of my last full day in my truck for safety during the storm and wind on that hill. I did walk down to the river the first day. It's a very steep, rocky walk and not real close to the campground. Being early April It was in bad shape with downed trees blocking the river and a washed out bank. Again, later in the year I'm sure it's quite a different experience. The timing of my trip was bad.

Site 11- Riverbend Primitive
Awesome place! I am very satisfied with my stay, I was fortunate to book on a slow weekend so I enjoyed a lovely weekend on a peaceful hilltop. Me and my family visited the Ha Ha Tonka State Park, which was a convenient distance. Fire ring, shower, and bathroom were all up to standard.

Entrance was very easy to find and loved the lighting at the entrance. Also the restroom/shower was very clean and much appreciated. Steven was on hand to greet us and had delivered some firewood to our site prior to our arrival. Couple notes, numbered markers would have been very helpful. Especially when arriving in the dark after a 9 hour drive. Not really any plat spots near our site to pitch a tent. Overall experience was pretty good. And I will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

Site 3 - Riverbend Campground
It was a good place to stay! I loved how close it was to Ha Ha Tonka and how quiet the area was. I saw several deer and could hear geese and coyotes. The shower/bathroom was clean and a hot shower was perfect after a long day. The only downsides are that some of the spots are not level, the trail to the river is short but pretty steep with loose rocks, and if they were busy the rv spots would be a little close together for my taste. Otherwise great place, I’d definitely stay again!

The drive in was dark so when I woke up, I was pleasantly surprised by how pretty the land was. Steven met us at the entrance and showed us the spot, made sure we were comfortable, gave a little backstory of the campground. Thank you Steven!

The campsite was great! Lots of space, Lots of privacy, close to the river and the state park. Would go again. The bathroom had an actual toilet and shower. The property looked nice and I felt safe. The host was responsive and kind. The only drawbacks: the specific area we pitched our tent was on a rocky area with about 1 inch of dirt, so stakes didn't go in well, especially in the wind, and we saw about 50 spiders on our tent under the trees which was expected. We also encountered a snake, but it was friendly. Would definitely recommend if you don't mind little insects and creatures :)

We did tent camping and came in a little after dark. Steven was quick to help us find our campsite and get us wood. During the stay we were able to get in touch with him quickly if needed. The campground was beautiful at night; we could see so many stars. When we woke up, it was even more beautiful because of the scenery. The foliage on the trees and the surrounding hills was breathtaking. We met family friends there and all the kids were able to explore and had a great time. We went down to the river, it was a little steep but once we were there, we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this campground to any friend.

Beautiful campground, quiet, remote, clean and we enjoyed our stay here. Ha Ha Tonka State Park was only 8 miles away from our stay here.
Steven greeted us when we arrived, he was very accommodating and helpful with all our questions and stay. :)
