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.

Riverbend the beautiful
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!

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.

Site 10 - Riverbend Campground
I enjoyed how quiet it was, and the hike to see the creek was awesome and relaxing by the creek. Owners were very helpful and nice. My family enjoyed the place.

Site 4 - Riverbend Campground
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.
