Rustic Trails RV Park

10 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Rustic Trails RV Park in Phillipsburg, Missouri, offers 10 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and five tent sites in the Ozarks, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 116 feet — an unusually generous length allowance for a park this size. An outdoor pool, on-site lake, and woodland walking trails round out a family-oriented property. Ten pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 116 feet. Every site pulls through, and the 116-foot capacity handles essentially any rig with a tow. Five tent sites cover simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills, a dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake on the property for fishing and swimming. A game room, playground, pavilion, community fire pit, volleyball, and woodland walking trails fill the grounds. For 10 sites, the amenity set is genuinely broad, and the family atmosphere is much of what brings guests back. Phillipsburg sits in the south-central Missouri Ozarks, where forested hills, spring-fed streams, and clear lakes over dolomite and limestone topography create the landscape that has made this a preferred destination for Missouri and Midwest visitors seeking quiet, affordable outdoor recreation. The park serves the Ozark season, with summer lake and pool use driving the peak and fall color bringing a second wave. With 10 RV sites, reserve well ahead for summer weekends and holiday periods.

Fishing Tales Resort

11 RV Sites

Fishing Tales Resort in Lebanon, Missouri, provides a cabin and full hookup RV resort experience in Laclede County's Ozark hill country just miles from Bennett Spring State Park, where one of Missouri's most beloved spring-fed trout fisheries draws dedicated fly fishers and trout stocking enthusiasts to the Niangua River corridor in the heart of the Ozark Plateau. The resort's strategic position in the Bennett Spring fishing community serves the dedicated angling visitors whose Lebanon-area stays are structured around the daily hatchery-release fishing at Bennett Spring alongside the broader Ozark outdoor recreation landscape of rivers, state parks, and the clear-sky stargazing that remote Laclede County's low light pollution makes genuinely spectacular. The resort's amenity package serves both fishing-focused and broader outdoor recreation visitors: cabin rentals for enclosed group accommodation, full hookup RV sites, an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna for post-fishing relaxation, general store for tackle and essential supplies, laundry, showers, playground, and Wi-Fi provide the complete infrastructure for extended angling and outdoor recreation stays. River and stream access through the property connects guests directly to the Ozark waterway system that defines the region's recreational character, and the stargazing enabled by Laclede County's distance from major metropolitan light pollution creates evening recreation of genuine quality alongside the basketball court's daytime social activity. The bird and wildlife watching in the surrounding Ozark woodland adds naturalist appeal to the fishing-centered itinerary. Bennett Spring State Park, approximately 12 miles west of Lebanon via MO-64, is one of Missouri's most intensively visited fishing destinations and the site of Missouri's annual opening trout season on the first Thursday of March—a cultural tradition in which thousands of anglers gather at the spring before dawn to participate in the season's first stocking release in a communal fishing event unique in the American fishing calendar. The park's crystal-clear spring, discharging an average of 100 million gallons of cold water daily at a constant 56 degrees, creates a year-round trout habitat in a natural spring branch of exceptional clarity and beauty that has been Missouri's most popular trout fishing site for over a century. The Gasconade River, Missouri's most consistently productive float fishing stream for smallmouth bass, flows through Laclede County and the surrounding Ozark counties in a clear-water float corridor that canoe outfitters have served from the Bennett Spring area since the mid-twentieth century development of float fishing as the Ozarks' dominant recreational water activity. Lake of the Ozarks, approximately 25 miles northeast of Lebanon, provides the Ozarks' largest reservoir with marinas, boat rentals, and the entertainment infrastructure of the Lake of the Ozarks community that supplements the Lebanon area's natural outdoor recreation with commercial lake resort amenities. Fishing Tales Resort operates year-round in Laclede County's Ozark climate, with the Bennett Spring trout season from March 1 through October 31 driving the most intense fishing-related demand and the March 1 opening day creating the resort's single most anticipated reservation window of the entire year. Summer's warm Ozark temperatures make the pool and hot tub the most popular on-property recreation, and fall's foliage season in October transforms the Ozark ridges surrounding Lebanon into a hardwood color display that extends the resort's appeal beyond the dedicated fishing community to the broader Ozark outdoor recreation visitors who follow the season's color progression south from Missouri's northern counties.

Rustic Meadows RV Park

5 RV Sites

Rustic Meadows RV Park in Strafford, MO, offers 5 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Every site is a pull-thru carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Nothing needs unhitching and the 70-foot maximum takes a long coach — five sites, all of them easy. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills, a dump station, and a community fire pit cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a recreation center with ping pong, a pavilion, a playground, and fishing fill the grounds — a lot of amenity for a five-site park. Strafford sits minutes east of Springfield on a stretch of Historic Route 66, in a corner of the Ozarks within reach of Branson and Springfield's attractions. From I-44 eastbound, take exit 88, turn left toward Evergreen Road, then right on Evergreen. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Five pull-thrus go fast — call ahead on a holiday weekend.

Laketime RV Campground

126 RV Sites

Laketime RV Campground in Osage Beach, Missouri, offers 126 full-hookup RV sites on Lake of the Ozarks, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance, open all year. Categories publish their exact length — 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, and 31 feet and up — alongside prime view sites, a boat ramp, boat docks, and private sand beaches. One hundred twenty-six back-in sites run in premium categories sized at 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, and 31 feet, plus a 26-foot prime view tier, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Publishing length by the foot removes every guess about fit — you know exactly what you are booking before you tow in. Accessible sites are available. A public boat launch with dock facilities and private sand swim beaches put the lake literally at your feet, with boating, swimming, and picnicking on site. A pavilion fills out the grounds, and a golf course and water park are nearby. Pets are welcome. Directions: Highway 54 to State Highway KK, northwest on KK to Duenke Drive / Walker's Cay Drive, in through the Margaritaville entrance, past the horse stables and left onto Gantner Ramp Road. Osage Beach's restaurants, pool bars, spas, and lakeside shopping are three minutes away, on a lake with 1,150 miles of shoreline. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Ozark Adventures RV

40 RV Sites

Ozark Adventures RV in Sunrise Beach, Missouri, offers 40 full-hookup pull-through RV sites in Lake of the Ozarks country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 135 feet. Large, medium, and standard pull-through categories mean no backing at any site — and 135 feet accommodates anything on the road. Forty sites run in standard, medium, and large pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 135 feet. Sizing categories by rig class rather than amenity tier is genuinely fair — a compact trailer does not pay for space it cannot use, and a 100-foot coach with a tow knows exactly where it fits. One hundred thirty-five feet is among the most generous length allowances anywhere. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates well below the resort properties on the water while leaving the lake minutes away. Offroading is nearby. Pets are welcome. Camden County sits at the center of Lake of the Ozarks, the most heavily used recreational lake system in the Midwest — 1,150 miles of shoreline, more than the entire California coast. Sunrise Beach is on the western arm, with marinas, restaurants, and boat access all around, and Ha Ha Tonka State Park's castle ruins and springs a short drive south. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with far easier availability in the spring and fall.

Seventy-four sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, deluxe back-in 50-amp, premium, fishing pond back-in 30-amp, and fishing pond back-in 50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The fishing pond categories put you on the water at the site, which is exactly what most guests here are after. Twelve tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier give direct lake access for boating and fishing, with an outdoor pool, pond, and playground filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Lake of the Ozarks has 1,150 miles of shoreline — more than the entire California coastline — which makes it the most extensively developed recreational lake in the Midwest and the center of Missouri's most commercially active resort economy. Bagnell Dam, the Grand Glaize arm, and the lake's restaurant and marina infrastructure are all close. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with far easier availability in the spring and fall.

Professional Service Enterprise

At Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri—in the Osage River impoundment where Bagnell Dam created one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States in 1931 and where the 1,150 miles of shoreline, the casino entertainment complex, and the boat rental economy have made the Lake of the Ozarks the most visited inland water destination in the Midwest—Professional Service Enterprise offers a curated portfolio of 11 fully equipped waterfront lake homes positioned from the 3 mile marker to the 43 mile marker, accommodating groups from 1 to 24 guests in properties ranging from 1-bedroom to 8-bedroom configurations. The emphasis is on private coves, private boat docks, and the fully stocked home infrastructure—linens, kitchen supplies, bath products, and hospitality provisions—that turns a Lake of the Ozarks stay from a camping trip into a lake house experience. For families and groups who want the full lake-house lifestyle rather than a campsite, this is the Lake of the Ozarks answer. Eleven waterfront properties, each with a private boat dock, provide the full range of group sizes and bedroom configurations needed for solo travelers, couples, families, and the larger family reunion or corporate group retreat market. Some properties include private pools or hot tubs—Bittersweet Palms and Lake Breeze Timbers both feature pool amenities and are positioned within walking distance of the lakeside bar and grill establishments that the Lake of the Ozarks commercial corridor is famous for. Every vacation property arrives fully stocked with bed sheets, pillow slips, bath towels and washcloths, kitchen towels, dish soap, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, toilet paper, and trash bags—the full turnkey provision list that eliminates the supply-run logistics of arriving at a lake house with nothing in the cabinet. Many properties are pet-friendly. Private boat docks at each home provide the morning-on-the-water access that is the specific appeal of a private lake house over any hotel or campground alternative. The professional service that the company name describes goes beyond property management to active concierge capacity. The team's 20-plus years of Lake of the Ozarks experience enables them to arrange boat rentals—pontoons, ski boats, jet skis—to supplement or replace the boats that guests bring; organize golf outings at the lake's multiple championship-quality courses; and coordinate the full range of activities that the lake's commercial entertainment infrastructure provides. The ability to arrive at a Lake of the Ozarks vacation home with the concierge logistics pre-arranged—boat rented, tee times booked, water sports scheduled—is the service dimension that distinguishes this operation from a standard vacation rental booking. The Lake of the Ozarks entertainment corridor on the lake's commercial sections provides the bar-and-grill, casino, and live music programming that has made the lake famous in the Missouri and Midwest vacation market. Ha Ha Tonka State Park on the lake's arm provides the natural counterpoint—castle ruins, sinkholes, natural bridge, and the karst geology of the Missouri Ozarks in its most visually dramatic form, accessible on trail from the state park's well-maintained hiking infrastructure. The Lake of the Ozarks State Park provides additional boat-in camping, equestrian trails, and water access with the state park system's management quality. Professional Service Enterprise operates year-round at Lake of the Ozarks. Summer represents peak demand for the full lake experience—boat traffic, water skiing, and the open-water swimming that the lake's warm temperatures make practical from May through September. Spring and fall offer the quieter lake experience with the Ozark hardwood color that frames the coves and hillsides in October. Contact the team to match your group size and preferred lake mile marker, arrange the concierge services that complete the lake house experience, and let the Lake of the Ozarks waterfront deliver Missouri's most celebrated inland water vacation.

Sidetrack RV Park

27 RV Sites

Sidetrack RV Park in Wheatland, Missouri, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, in back-in configurations sized for rigs to 55 feet. Restrooms are on site. This is a straightforward, no-frills park in Hickory County's Ozark border country, and it is priced and equipped accordingly. Twenty-seven back-in sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, taking rigs to 55 feet. Restroom facilities are available. Guests looking for resort programming should look elsewhere; guests who want a clean, functional site with full hookups and easy access will find exactly that. Pets are welcome. The park's value is its position rather than its amenities. Wheatland sits on the Highway 83 corridor between Kansas City and Springfield, in the transitional country where the intensively farmed Osage Plain gives way to the wooded limestone hills of the Ozark Highland. Truman Lake and the Lake of the Ozarks are the region's main draws, with fishing, boating, and Ozark hill-country hiking within easy reach. The surrounding rural landscape has kept its character through low population density and modest development pressure, which is much of the appeal for guests who come back. The park serves travelers, workers, and outdoor recreation visitors passing through central Missouri year-round. Summer lake season brings the heaviest demand, though the small site count means availability can tighten at short notice in any season.

Coconuts RV Resort

39 RV Sites, 5 Houses

Coconuts RV Resort in Gravois Mills, Missouri, is an adults-only property offering 39 full-hookup back-in RV sites and five houses on the Gravois Arm of Lake of the Ozarks, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance.

Thirty-nine back-in sites run in poolside, premium lakeview, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. Naming categories poolside and lakeview tells you exactly where you will be. Five houses round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, showers, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. One thing to know before booking: this is an adults-only resort, which is precisely why most guests choose it. The swim-up bar at the adult pool is the signature, with a water park, splash pad, beach, and marina alongside. Boat rentals open the lake for boating, water sports, and swimming, with a fitness center, sports courts, pickleball, biking, a playground, dog park, pavilion, and live music at Coconuts Bar and Grill filling the rest. The property sits at the 7-mile mark of the Gravois Arm, and it has built one of the most genuinely resort-oriented lakefront campground experiences in the Midwest — closer in feel to a Caribbean-styled beach club than a campground. Summer lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Mimosa Place RV

Mimosa Place RV in Warsaw, Missouri, provides a friendly, well-positioned base in the heart of Missouri's Ozarks lake country, putting guests within easy reach of two of the state's most popular recreational reservoirs and a collection of regional historic sites that reflect the rich layering of frontier settlement, presidential history, and Ozark cultural heritage concentrated in Benton County and the surrounding area. Warsaw's position at the confluence of multiple major water bodies makes it a natural hub for campers whose priorities center on fishing, boating, and quiet immersion in Missouri's interior landscape. The park offers full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, along with an on-site laundry facility that addresses the practical needs of extended-stay guests and through-travelers heading deeper into the Ozarks. Cabin rental options are available for guests who prefer enclosed accommodations, and the park's compact, independently operated character creates the kind of welcoming, small-town atmosphere that distinguishes family-run Missouri campgrounds from larger branded operations. The proprietors' familiarity with local fishing conditions, lake access points, and seasonal events is itself a resource that guests frequently cite as adding genuine value to their stay. The Ozark Plateau landscape surrounding Warsaw is defined by dense oak-hickory forest, spring-fed streams, and the dramatic impoundments created by twentieth-century dam construction that transformed the Osage River watershed into some of the Midwest's most productive recreational fishing water. The town sits at a geographic crossroads between Harry S Truman Lake to the east and south and the upper arms of Lake of the Ozarks to the west, placing guests within reach of thousands of acres of public fishing water managed jointly by Missouri Department of Conservation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Lake of the Ozarks—formed by Bagnell Dam in 1931—stretches across Benton, Morgan, Camden, and Miller counties with 1,150 miles of shoreline, making it one of the longest man-made lake shorelines in the United States and a destination for bass fishing, waterskiing, pontoon boating, and lakeside resort culture that draws millions of visitors annually. Harry S Truman Lake, quieter and less developed than its neighbor, provides excellent walleye, crappie, and white bass fishing along with public boat ramps maintained by the Corps. Harry S Truman's birthplace site in Lamar to the southwest and the elaborate Victorian-era Bothwell Lodge State Historic Site near Sedalia—a stone hunting lodge and estate surrounded by Pettis County prairie—add historical depth to the regional itinerary. Mimosa Place RV operates year-round, with the fishing and boating season from May through September representing peak demand and occupancy. Fall hunting seasons bring a secondary wave of visitors seeking access to the Ozark hardwood forests' white-tailed deer and turkey populations, and the cooler temperatures of September and October make for particularly pleasant camping conditions. The park's affordable rates, central lake country location, and friendly ownership make it a well-regarded choice for guests who return season after season to explore Missouri's Ozark interior at their own relaxed pace.

A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and on-site dining cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a playground on the grounds. A boat ramp and boat rentals put guests on the water, with hiking, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, birding, picnicking, and Ozark dark-sky stargazing. The park sits less than a mile from Montauk State Park and its access to the Current River — spring-fed, pristine, and home to some of the best trout fishing in Missouri. Salem is in Dent County at the edge of the Mark Twain National Forest, where the Current begins its run south through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Eight sites a mile from Montauk means trout season books out early.
