38 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 8 Condos, 1 Lodge

Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel in Mountain View, Arkansas, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites and 10 cabin, condo, and lodge units in the Ozark Mountains, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and EV charging. Sites take rigs to 45 feet across named categories including Best View back-ins and premium pull-throughs with room for a tow vehicle. Thirty-eight sites run in 30-amp and 30/50-amp full-hookup back-ins along the fence line, Best View back-ins on gravel pads, and premium 50-amp full-hookup pull-throughs with space for a tow — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Accessible sites are available, and EV charging is on site, still uncommon at Ozark campgrounds. Ten cabins, condos, and lodge units serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a gated entrance handle the practical side, and the property is open all year. On-site recreation is broad: a disc golf course, sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, a recreation center, community fire pit, and walking trails, with a lake, pond, and creek on the property for fishing, boating, and kayaking. On-site dining covers meals, and live music and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Mountain View is the Folk Music Capital of the World, a living folk culture community where traditional Ozark music and crafts remain central to daily life. The walkable downtown, the Ozark Folk Center State Park, Blanchard Springs Caverns, Gunner's Pool, and the Syllamo mountain bike trails are all close. Music events drive occupancy here — check the calendar and book around it.

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.

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.

Candy Cane RV Park & Campground

9 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Candy Cane RV Park & Campground in Steelville, Missouri, offers nine full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites three minutes from downtown, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, and a family-owned operation that charges nothing extra for the shower house or dump station make this an intentionally small-scale Ozarks stop. Nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp back-in and 50-amp pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. Laundry, restrooms, showers, a dump station, and WiFi handle the practical side — and the shower house and dump station carry no charge, which small family-owned Ozark campgrounds maintain as a point of hospitality. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with an 18-hole miniature golf course, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, and a pavilion filling the grounds. Swimming, fishing, hiking, and picnicking run from the area, with live music through the season and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. Steelville sits in the Meramec River valley at the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, where spring-fed streams, float rivers, and karst geology of the Salem Plateau created Missouri's float-trip camping culture. The Meramec River is five miles away and Meramec Spring Park — with its natural spring, trout hatchery, and trail system — is ten minutes out. Downtown Steelville's restaurants, including Rich's Famous Burgers and the Spare Rib Inn, are three minutes from the sites. Float season drives summer demand. With nine sites, reserve well ahead for any warm-weather weekend.

Ozark Outdoors Resort

Few Ozark destinations pack as much river adventure into a single address as Ozark Outdoors Resort, a sprawling riverfront property on the Meramec that has been welcoming families to Leasburg, Missouri, since 1960. The resort lines one and a half miles of the Meramec's scenic banks with more than 200 RV sites, motel rooms, cabins, and tent sites—enough variety to accommodate any travel style under the towering hardwoods and limestone bluffs that define this corner of Crawford County. A full roster of water-based recreation, aerial adventure, and evening dining ensures guests rarely need to leave the property once they've settled in. RV sites range from primitive to full hookup with 20/30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer, and a picnic table and fire ring accompany each site regardless of hookup level. Cabin options span rustic Country Log Cabins and Deluxe Kozy Cabins to motel rooms, condos, and group retreat lodging, giving the resort the flexibility to host family reunions, corporate outings, and church groups as easily as solo travelers. The Meramec Mercantile supplies camping essentials on-site, while the Paddlers Bar and Grill serves seasonal meals and cold drinks at the water's edge. Float trips on the Meramec, Courtois, and Huzzah Rivers form the beating heart of the Ozark Outdoors experience, with canoe, kayak, raft, and tube rentals available for half-day or multi-day journeys through crystalline Ozark spring-fed water. For those who prefer their adventure overhead, the Floating Treetops Aerial Park delivers 36 unique challenge elements across six ziplines suspended among the forest canopy—a course that engages first-time climbers and seasoned adventure seekers alike. Sand volleyball, horseshoes, and a swimming pool add land-based options when the river crowd thins in the late afternoon. The Meramec River corridor hosts some of Missouri's most spectacular cave country, with Onondaga Cave State Park just upstream offering guided boat and lantern tours through one of the Midwest's finest show caves. Meramec State Park, a few miles east on Highway 185, provides additional hiking trails, cave tours, and a family aquatic center popular with summer visitors. The resort's position between St. Louis—about 75 miles northeast—and the Missouri Ozarks interior makes it a natural launching point for exploring the Salem Plateau, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and the Current River corridor to the south. Float trip season runs April through October, with June and July delivering the warmest water and the most festive atmosphere on the Meramec, when the resort's campground fills with the laughter of families who have made the Ozark Outdoors float trip an annual tradition. Spring and fall bring lower crowds, quieter campsites, and a more contemplative Ozark experience for those who prefer their river adventure without holiday weekend energy. Reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends and holiday blocks—the combination of riverfront camping and the Floating Treetops aerial park draws visitors from across the Midwest, and popular cabin styles book months in advance.

Coconuts RV Resort

39 RV Sites, 5 Houses

At the 7-mile mark of the Gravois Arm on Lake of the Ozarks in Gravois Mills, Missouri, Coconuts RV Resort has built one of the most distinctly resort-oriented lakefront campground experiences in the Midwest—a property where the swim-up bar at the adult pool, live music at Coconuts Bar and Grill, a water park, a marina with boat rentals, and the particular social energy of Lake of the Ozarks summer culture combine into an experience that functions more like a tropical lake resort than a traditional campground. If the Ozarks lake life is the goal, Coconuts is the campground built specifically to deliver it at the highest available intensity. Waterfront RV sites—available on both annual and nightly rates—position guests as close to the Gravois Arm as the property's lakeside layout permits, and the resort's amenity concentration is specifically designed for the guest who came to the lake to be on the lake in every possible way. Multiple pools anchor the aquatic recreation program, including separate private adult and family pools with a swim-up bar that is the resort's most distinctive social feature. A water park extends the aquatic programming for families. A 24-hour fitness center, dog park, pickleball, and tennis courts serve the health-and-recreation-oriented guests who supplement the lake activities with on-property options. Coconuts Bar and Grill operates on-site with live music and the social energy that Lake of the Ozarks visitors specifically seek from a lakefront entertainment destination. A 16-stall shower house serves the resident and nightly guest population at the scale the resort's site count requires. Arcade games, billiards, laundry facilities, and retail shops provide the complete on-property infrastructure. The Gravois Arm's position at the Lake of the Ozarks' southern reach gives Coconuts a water character defined by the lake's recreational intensity during summer months. The 54,000-acre reservoir—created by Bagnell Dam on the Osage River in 1931 and covering 1,150 miles of shoreline—is the Midwest's most concentrated summer lake recreation destination, with boat traffic, water skiing, tubing, and the general organized chaos of a lake that exists primarily to be enjoyed. The Gravois Arm's marinas and the resort's marina-with-boat-rentals give guests who didn't trailer a watercraft the access to the lake that the entire Coconuts experience is built around. Lake of the Ozarks State Park—Missouri's largest state park—provides a natural counterpoint to the resort character of the lake's commercial development, with 85 miles of undeveloped shoreline, hiking trails, two swimming beaches, and the geology of the Ozark Plateau on full display in the park's interior. Ha Ha Tonka State Park, with its dramatic karst springs, caves, and the castle ruins of a 20th-century Ozarks estate, is one of the most unusual and visually striking natural sites in Missouri and accessible for a half-day excursion that provides welcome contrast to the lake's summer intensity. Coconuts RV Resort operates seasonally aligned with the Lake of the Ozarks recreational season—the property is at its most vibrant from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with shoulder-season programming in May and September providing a quieter alternative for guests who want the lake without the summer-weekend crowd density. The swim-up bar and live music fill the social calendar during peak season. Reserve your waterfront site early for summer holiday weekends, bring the boat or rent one from the marina, and let the Ozarks lake culture do what it was built to do.

Cabins are available, and the resort operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Grand Lake has been the primary water recreation destination for the Tulsa metro since its impoundment was completed in 1940, and 1,850 feet of private shoreline in Ottawa County is a substantial claim on it. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends.

Marval Resort

85 RV Sites, 71 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites, 3 Lodges

Marval Resort in Gore, Oklahoma, offers 85 RV sites, 74 cabin and lodge units, and 13 tent sites on Lake Tenkiller, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 90 feet.

Eighty-five sites run across 30-amp water-and-electric, 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric, 30 and 50-amp full-hookup with sewer, and Park View and River View variants of each, sized to 90 feet.

A general store, propane fills and exchange, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. The recreation roster is extensive.

Mini-golf, a clubhouse, game room, craft room, arcade, ping pong, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, and horseshoes spread across the grounds, with golf cart rentals, walking trails, a playground, pavilion, and dog park besides. Live music and planned activities run through the season, and the property serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Lake Tenkiller is one of Oklahoma's most pristine reservoirs — crystal-clear water, limestone bluffs, and the Cookson Hills' hardwood backdrop make it the most scenically distinctive lake in the eastern Oklahoma hill country, and one of the state's premier bass fisheries. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.
