Basswood Resort

57 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Basswood Resort in Platte City, Missouri, offers 57 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Deluxe, premium, and standard back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, disc golf course, jumping pillow, and lake. Fifty-seven sites span standard back-in 20/30/50-amp, standard pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, standard, deluxe back-in, deluxe pull-thru, and premium back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-five feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Five tent sites, cabins, and trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, showers, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, fitness center, clubhouse, gaga ball, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a lake, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing and planned activities round it out, with a golf course, casino, and amusement park nearby. Platte County feels genuinely rural — livestock pastures, creek valleys, and Missouri hardwood forest — while keeping Kansas City's barbecue, jazz history, and professional sports 30 minutes away. Kansas City International Airport is close, which makes this practical for fly-in guests picking up a rig. Summer drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall the most comfortable months. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and Kansas City event dates.

Lennies River Retreat

1 RV Site

Lennies River Retreat in Saint Joseph, MO, offers 1 RV site with 30 and 50-amp service and room for a rig up to 35 feet. The site is a back-in carrying water and sewer with site-delivered WiFi; confirm the electrical connection details with the retreat when you book.

An outdoor pool, a boat ramp, and river access support fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, hiking, biking, and birding, with golf and wine tasting nearby.

Owl Creek Market & RV Park

74 RV Sites

Owl Creek Market and RV Park in Odessa, Missouri, offers 74 full-hookup RV sites at the I-70 exit, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted up to 140 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout — the most generous length allowance in this batch. Concrete and gravel back-in and pull-through categories are listed separately, with an outdoor pool, playground, and a specialty market. Seventy-four sites span concrete back-in full hookup, concrete pull-through full hookup, gravel back-in full hookup, and gravel pull-through full hookup categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 140 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Publishing the surface by category is genuinely useful, and 140 feet accommodates anything on the road with room left over. Accessible sites are available. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. The market is what sets this park apart from every other highway stop on I-70. The store carries more than 100 varieties of artisan cheese alongside selected meats, wine, Dutch-style foods and spices, jarred goods, and chocolates — a specialty grocery that happens to be the campground store rather than the other way around. An outdoor pool, playground, horseshoes, a creek, and picnicking fill the rest, with wine and beer tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. Odessa sits in Lafayette County 35 minutes east of Kansas City. Demand tracks interstate traffic and Kansas City events rather than a season. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.

Oregon Trail RV Park - Westmoreland

5 RV Sites

Oregon Trail RV Park in Westmoreland, Kansas, offers full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service on a big-rig-friendly layout in the Pottawatomie County countryside, with sites sized to 45 feet and fire pits throughout. Back-in water-and-electric, full-hookup back-in, and pull-through configurations are all available, along with a playground, pavilion, and dog park. Sites run in back-in water-and-electric, back-in full-hookup with sewer, and pull-through water-and-electric configurations, all carrying 50-amp service and sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. The big-rig-friendly layout accommodates larger coaches, and a dump station serves guests on partial hookups. Restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Note that site inventory here is small — confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. On-site amenities suit families and longer stops. A playground and pavilion anchor the grounds, a dog park gives pets their own space, and volleyball and swimming fill out the recreation. The small scale is the character of the place, and the surrounding Flint Hills countryside is quiet in a way that larger highway parks are not. Pets are welcome. Westmoreland sits on Rock Creek in the rolling Flint Hills transition country of northeastern Kansas, along the historic Oregon Trail corridor. Roughly 500,000 emigrants crossed this prairie between 1840 and 1869 on the overland migration that populated Oregon, California, and Utah, and the landscape between the Kaw River valley and the Platte corridor remains relatively unchanged. The park serves both brief stopovers on the northeastern Kansas highway network and longer countryside stays. Summer brings the heaviest travel demand — reserve ahead.

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.

Arrowhead Point RV Park & Cabins Campground

Arrowhead Point RV Park and Cabins in Osceola, Missouri, occupies a shore position on Harry S Truman Reservoir — the 55,600-acre Corps of Engineers lake on the Osage River in St. Clair County that serves as the primary water recreation destination for the southwest Missouri region between Kansas City and Springfield. The park's catch-and-release pond, pull-through full-hookup RV sites with high-speed Wi-Fi, cabin accommodations, and on-site paddleboard and billiards programming give guests a self-contained lakeside resort experience in a corner of Missouri that rewards those who find it with genuine lake recreation access, reasonable pricing, and the uncrowded atmosphere that a Truman Lake location tends to deliver compared to the more heavily trafficked Lake of the Ozarks to the northeast. Spacious pull-through full-hookup RV sites with high-speed Wi-Fi give the campground the practical infrastructure for comfortable extended stays, and the cabin rentals serve guests who want Truman Lake access without their own RV equipment. The catch-and-release pond provides an on-site fishing option for guests who want to wet a line within walking distance of their site, and paddleboarding on the pond offers water recreation without the boat launch logistics that the main reservoir access requires. The billiards room handles evening recreation when the lake-focused outdoor programming winds down. Pets are welcome. Harry S Truman Reservoir's 958 miles of shoreline through the Ozark border country of St. Clair, Benton, and Henry Counties provides a water recreation environment of substantial scale — bass fishing on Truman Lake, particularly largemouth and white bass, sustains a regional tournament fishing culture that draws competitive anglers from across Missouri and Kansas. The lake's size and relatively undeveloped shoreline character give fishing, water skiing, and cruising guests the uncrowded conditions that the smaller but more famous Lake of the Ozarks cannot consistently provide during peak summer seasons. Osceola's historic downtown, on the banks of the Osage River above the reservoir, preserves the character of a 19th-century Missouri river town with a courthouse square and the kind of settled small-city retail and dining environment that genuine lake communities — rather than purpose-built resort towns — develop organically over generations. The Harry S Truman State Park, on the reservoir's northeast arm, provides the primary Corps of Engineers managed public recreation area with boat launches, designated swimming areas, and developed campground facilities that complement the private resort experience at Arrowhead Point with public land access to the lake's best coves. Arrowhead Point RV Park and Cabins operates through the Truman Lake recreation season, with the primary water recreation window running from late May through Labor Day and the fishing season extending spring and fall with excellent bass activity during the pre-spawn and fall turnover periods that Missouri reservoir anglers specifically target. The Stockton Lake area to the southeast and the Pomme de Terre Lake to the east extend the southwest Missouri lake country day-trip range for guests interested in exploring the full Ozark lake system from an Osceola base. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the Memorial Day weekend and summer holiday periods when Truman Lake's regional visitor market from the Kansas City and Springfield metros fills the available accommodation at lakeside properties.

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.

Smoky Hill RV Park

35 RV Sites

Smoky Hill RV Park in Junction City, KS, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The park is rated big rig friendly; maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. Built in 2020, the infrastructure is genuinely modern. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and a storm shelter cover the practical side — the storm shelter matters in Kansas. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. River frontage runs the property, with a lake nearby. Junction City sits at I-70 Exit 299 in the Flint Hills, where the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers join before entering Milford Reservoir. Milford Lake, Fort Riley, and Kansas State University are all close. Eastbound travelers should take Exit 298 and turn north. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve.

Ted's RV Park

26 RV Sites

Ted's RV Park in Decatur, IA, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 80 feet the pull-throughs take the longest coaches. The park is open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, a dump station, on-site dining, a bar, and a barn. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. A lake, creek frontage, and picnicking fill the grounds, with fishing and boating nearby. A state park and wineries are close.

Rates and availability are on the booking page. Deer and turkey seasons fill this corner of Iowa — reserve ahead in the fall.

Acorns Resort

16 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Acorns Resort in Milford, Kansas, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites and four cabins on Milford Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a boat ramp, beach, fishing pier, outdoor pool, and kayak rentals. Sixteen sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to check carefully before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers. Four cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A boat ramp, boat docks, boat rentals, and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a beach and fishing pier on the property. An outdoor pool, recreation center, walking trails, hiking, corn hole, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and a golf course nearby. The property operates as a wedding venue. Milford Lake is Kansas's largest body of water at more than 15,000 surface acres, and the cedar and oak canopy shading the grounds gives Acorns a genuinely wooded character that is uncommon on the Plains. The Milford Nature Center and fish hatchery are close, with Fort Riley and Manhattan a short drive east. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August, and check your rig against the 30-foot limit.

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. Poolside and premium lakeview categories join a standard tier, with a swim-up bar, water park, splash pad, and marina. 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.

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.
