Basswood Resort sits in Platte City, Missouri, just 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City, offering the full amenity set of a major camping resort alongside easy access to one of the Midwest's most vibrant metropolitan areas. The property runs along a stretch of rural Platte County that feels genuinely removed from the city—livestock pastures, gentle creek valleys, and Missouri hardwood forest—while remaining close enough that a Kansas City day trip is a realistic option on any given afternoon. Basswood backs up its reputation with a diverse roster of on-site attractions: five well-stocked fishing ponds, a swimming pool, walking trails, a jumping pillow, pickleball courts, tomahawk throwing, a frisbee golf course, horseshoe pits, cornhole, a gaga ball pit, basketball courts, and shuffleboard. A clubhouse, activities pavilion, and outdoor theater host the resort's themed weekend events and live entertainment calendar throughout the season, and a pizza parlor and country store keep food and supplies on-site. Golf cart rentals let guests cruise the 197-site property in comfort. Accommodations span 149 full hookup RV sites, 6 tent sites, 27 cabins, a lodge, suites, motel rooms, and RV trailer rentals—something for every travel style and budget. Platte County's rolling terrain surrounds the basswood resort with the kind of middle-American landscape that earns devoted repeat visitors: big shade trees, quiet ponds, and the satisfying simplicity of a Missouri summer evening where the biggest decision is which fishing pond to try next. The five stocked ponds are the backbone of the resort's daytime activity, and the combination of themed weekends and live entertainment gives Basswood a community campground energy that sets it apart from the standard RV park experience along this busy I-29 corridor. Kansas City's cultural and entertainment scene is within a 30-minute drive in virtually any direction. The Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas draws NASCAR and IndyCar events throughout the racing season, while Worlds of Fun offers 235 acres of roller coasters and water park attractions. The Kansas City Zoo is one of the Midwest's most respected, and the Power and Light District downtown provides concentrated dining, live music, and nightlife. Just 20 minutes from the resort, the small town of Weston is known for its antique shops, breweries, and some of the oldest wineries in Missouri. Casino gaming at Ameristar and Harrah's is available within easy driving distance. Basswood Resort is open seasonally and runs a packed themed weekend calendar from spring through fall—events like Western Weekend, Halloween Harvest, and holiday-themed campouts draw capacity crowds and require advance booking. The fishing ponds draw serious anglers year-round, and fall is particularly popular as the Missouri hardwoods turn and the summer crowds thin. If you're looking for a resort that functions as both a destination and a base for Kansas City exploration—with enough on-site entertainment to fill multiple days without ever leaving the property—Basswood Resort delivers a compelling Midwest camping experience that keeps families returning season after season.

Everything was very clean. We should have stayed longer because there is so...Show more

Clean and easy to navigate after hours. However the electric hookup produced an open ground error on my surge protector. Staff admitted that was a common occurrence but suggested that it was my surge protector that was at fault. So I tested it last night at my next location, and NO ERROR! They need to repair ...Show more
