Happy Pappy's Montauk RV Park

8 RV Sites

Happy Pappy's Montauk RV Park in Salem, MO, offers 8 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The park is open all year. 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.

Cedar Ridge RV Park & Storage

11 RV Sites

Cedar Ridge RV Park & Storage in Bakersfield, Missouri, offers 11 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, in the Missouri Ozarks near the Arkansas border. Dry camping sites join 30-amp and 50-amp pull-throughs, with RV and boat storage on site. Eleven sites run in 30-amp pull-through, 50-amp pull-through, and dry camping categories, the serviced sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 60 feet. The dry camping option suits self-contained rigs at a lower rate. RV storage and boat storage are available — genuinely useful in a region where guests leave a rig or a boat between fishing trips. A dump station and pavilion handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The park is a working RV park and self-storage facility rather than a resort, and it is straightforward about that. What it offers is a clean full-hookup site with easy access, and storage for the equipment that the region's recreation requires. Boating is nearby. Bakersfield sits on State Highway O in Ozark County's hill country just north of the Arkansas line, where the White River drains southward through some of the most productive freshwater fishing terrain in the Mid-South. The park serves traveling campers alongside the region's core visitor base — anglers, hunters, and paddlers who come to Ozark County for its rivers, lakes, and the solitude of one of Missouri's most rural corners. Fishing season drives demand spring through fall. With 11 sites, call ahead for extended stays.

Branson View Estates

39 RV Sites

Branson View Estates in Branson, MO, offers 39 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. Every site takes all three amp services, and the park is rated big rig friendly at 60 feet. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a playground cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. Picnicking is the on-site recreation, and in Branson that's the right call — guests come for the shows and the lakes. Branson delivers everything else: the theater district, the Ozark hills, and Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo for boating and fishing, with golf, a state park, and the mountains all close. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Branson's show season runs spring through Christmas — reserve well ahead, especially for the holiday run.

Bull Creek RV Park

15 RV Sites

Bull Creek RV Park in Branson, MO, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, standard back-in and premium back-in, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The 40-foot maximum keeps this to mid-size rigs. Laundry, a pavilion, a community fire pit, and WiFi cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. At 15 sites this is a small, quiet park rather than a resort — no pool, no arcade, no queue for the laundry — which is a genuine relief in a town built around volume. Branson delivers everything else: the theater district, the Ozark hills, and Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo for boating, all within a short drive of the gate. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Branson's show season runs spring through Christmas and this park is small, so reserve well ahead.

Ember Shoals Outdoor Resort

42 RV Sites

Ember Shoals Outdoor Resort in Cotter, Arkansas, offers 42 full-hookup RV sites on the White River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Premium and standard back-in and pull-through 30/50-amp categories join on-site fishing guides, a clubhouse, and walking trails. Forty-two sites span premium back-in 30/50-amp, premium pull-thru 30/50-amp, standard back-in 30/50-amp, and standard pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits. Four clear tiers and every category carrying both amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The park was previously named Denton Ferry RV Park. On-site fishing guides are the standout amenity here and tell you exactly who this resort serves. A clubhouse, walking trails, pond, corn hole, and river frontage fill the rest, with boating nearby and a state park close. Pets are welcome. The White River below Bull Shoals Dam is one of the world's great trout tailwaters. Cold, clear water released from the dam's depths holds temperatures ideal for rainbow and brown trout year-round, and the river has produced record browns. Cotter calls itself the Trout Capital USA and means it. Trout fishing runs all year, with spring and fall the most comfortable and productive. Reserve well ahead for those windows.

Branson Lakeside RV Park

138 RV Sites

Branson Lakeside RV Park in Missouri offers 139 full-hookup RV sites on the shore of Lake Taneycomo in downtown Branson, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Supersites, lakefront pull-through, and deluxe patio pull-through categories join premium and standard tiers, with a marina, boat ramp, and five fishing docks. One hundred thirty-nine sites span back-in, premium back-in, standard pull-thru, premium pull-thru, deluxe patio pull-thru, lakefront pull-thru, and Supersites categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Ninety feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. The deluxe patio section adds private patios, fire pits, and picnic tables with umbrellas, and the lakefront tier is the one to request. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and firewood handle the practical side. A marina, boat ramp, boat docks, boat rentals, and five fishing docks in the campground itself open the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. A clubhouse, pavilion, walking trails, community fire pit, dog park, and on-site dining fill the rest, with live music through the season. Branson Landing's shopping and dining district is steps away, with the theater strip and Silver Dollar City close. Summer, the fall theater season, and the Christmas shows drive three peaks. Reserve well ahead.

Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort & UTV Campground

2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort & UTV Campground in Bunker, Missouri, is built entirely around off-highway vehicle recreation, offering RV rentals — the Cherokee and the Cougar — alongside full-hookup sites on a big-rig-friendly property with direct trail access. A dump station and WiFi serve riders in one of the Ozarks' most trail-rich landscapes. The two on-site RV rentals, named the Cherokee and the Cougar, let riders arrive with a trailer full of machines and no rig at all. Full-hookup sites accommodate guests bringing their own, on a layout sized for big rigs hauling UTV trailers. A dump station and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. Trail access is the entire proposition. UTV and ATV trails run directly from the campground, which removes the trailering-out routine that most OHV trips require. Fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking are all available in the surrounding country, and off-roading is the reason nearly everyone books. Bunker sits in Reynolds County, one of Missouri's least densely populated, in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest. The Current River watershed, the volcanic shut-ins, and Taum Sauk Mountain — the state's highest summit — all converge within a short ride, which is why the OHV community treats this stretch of the Ozarks as a destination rather than a stop. Riding season runs spring through fall, with fall color weekends drawing the heaviest traffic. With two rentals and a small site count, reserve well ahead for any weekend.

Hide-A-Way Campground

54 RV Sites, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Hide-A-Way Campground in Branson, Missouri, offers 56 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. A dedicated ADA back-in category joins premium back-in and pull-through tiers, along with two rental RVs — the Velvet Buck and the White Squirrel. Fifty-six sites span ADA back-in, back-in, premium back-in, premium pull-thru, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. One hundred feet is exceptional for the Ozark hills and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Accessible sites are a named category rather than an afterthought. The Velvet Buck and White Squirrel rental RVs and cabins round out the lodging for guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a clubhouse, community fire pit, playground, dog park, and corn hole filling the grounds. The clubhouse-oriented, neighborhood-style atmosphere is what regulars come back for. Boating, a water park, and an amusement park are all nearby. Pets are welcome. The Branson entertainment corridor is minutes away — dozens of theaters, Silver Dollar City, and Table Rock Lake recreation. Summer, the fall theater season, and the Christmas shows drive three distinct peaks in Branson. Reserve well ahead for June through August and for November and December.

Lakeview Cabins & RV Campground

31 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Lakeview Cabins & RV Campground in Branson, MO, offers 31 full-hookup RV sites and 4 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 42 feet. Sites come in three categories — 30-amp sites, 50-amp back-ins, and pull-thrus — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, on-site dining, golf cart rentals, and four cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a fitness center, kayak rentals, walking trails, and lake access fill the grounds, with swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boats, and hiking. Branson sits on Table Rock Lake, a 43,000-acre reservoir carved from the Ozark hills by the damming of the White River, with blue-water clarity that surprises first-time visitors — and the theater district a short drive away. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Branson's show season runs spring through Christmas, and 31 sites on Table Rock fill quickly.

from $50/night

Bar M Resort & Campground

17 RV Sites, 2 Glamping Sites

Bar M Resort & Campground in Reeds Spring, Missouri, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and two glamping sites on 10 acres along a private cove of Table Rock Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Boat docks, a boat ramp, an outdoor pool, and a game room sit on a quiet lakeside property between Branson and Kimberling City. Seventeen back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two glamping sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The private cove is the draw. Boat docks and a boat ramp give direct lake access for boating and fishing, with swimming from the shoreline and an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A game room, ping pong, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds. Table Rock's blue-green clarity is exceptional, and having a private cove rather than a public ramp is the difference between launching in minutes and queuing on a summer morning. Pets are welcome. Reeds Spring sits in Stone County on MO-248 in Tri-Lakes Country, which puts Branson's entertainment complex within easy reach while keeping the campground itself quiet. Directions from St. Louis: I-44 west to Exit 82-A (Highway 65 south), about 20 miles south to Missouri Highway EE, right (west) on EE three miles to the light at Highway 160/13, then left (south) about 18 miles. Summer lake season and the Branson calendar drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Port of Kimberling

112 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites, 26 Hotel Rooms, 13 Suites

Port of Kimberling in Kimberling City, Missouri, offers 112 RV sites, 48 cabin, hotel room, and suite units, and four tent sites across 220 acres overlooking Table Rock Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 85 feet, open all year. Prime and Prime Electric categories join premium back-in and pull-through tiers, with the largest full-service marina on the lake and an on-site storm shelter. One hundred twelve sites span basic RV/tent, standard RV, premium back-in, premium pull-thru, Prime, and Prime Electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Read the category carefully — the Prime Electric tier carries electric without the full hookup set. Forty-eight cabins, hotel rooms, and suites — including three luxury cabin types — and four tent sites make the lodging range exceptional. A dump station and restrooms handle the practical side, and a storm shelter sits on the property, which is a genuine safety feature in Missouri rather than a marketing line. The marina anchors everything, with boat, pontoon, and WaveRunner rentals opening Table Rock for boating, fishing, and swimming. An outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, recreation center, beach, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with hiking, live music, and planned activities. Table Rock is one of the Ozarks' most beautiful and productive lakes, with Branson close. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.
