Ballards Campground & RV Park
49 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites
Looking for peaceful camping near Springfield, Missouri? Ballards Campground & RV Park is tucked into a quiet, wooded area but still super close to restaurants, shopping, and everything else you might need. With level pads, 30/50 amp hookups, and both pull-through and tucked-away back-in RV camping sites, it’s a solid choice whether you’re hauling a big rig or keeping it simple.
There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the campground—drop a line in the stocked pond (no license needed), let the kids run wild on the playground, or hang out by the firepit with friends. You’ll also find a camp store, laundry, pet area, sports court, and free Wi-Fi, so it’s easy to settle in and relax.
Ready to explore? Hike the bluffs at Wildcat Glades Conservation & Audubon Center or visit Kellogg Lake Park for a lazy afternoon picnic. George Washington Carver National Monument is just down the road and totally worth the trip. Ballards makes it easy to enjoy it all—book your stay today!
