Fishing Tales Resort

Lebanon, Missouri


11 RV Sites

Fishing Tales Resort in Lebanon, Missouri, provides a cabin and full hookup RV resort experience in Laclede County's Ozark hill country just miles from Bennett Spring State Park, where one of Missouri's most beloved spring-fed trout fisheries draws dedicated fly fishers and trout stocking enthusiasts to the Niangua River corridor in the heart of the Ozark Plateau. The resort's strategic position in the Bennett Spring fishing community serves the dedicated angling visitors whose Lebanon-area stays are structured around the daily hatchery-release fishing at Bennett Spring alongside the broader Ozark outdoor recreation landscape of rivers, state parks, and the clear-sky stargazing that remote Laclede County's low light pollution makes genuinely spectacular. The resort's amenity package serves both fishing-focused and broader outdoor recreation visitors: cabin rentals for enclosed group accommodation, full hookup RV sites, an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna for post-fishing relaxation, general store for tackle and essential supplies, laundry, showers, playground, and Wi-Fi provide the complete infrastructure for extended angling and outdoor recreation stays. River and stream access through the property connects guests directly to the Ozark waterway system that defines the region's recreational character, and the stargazing enabled by Laclede County's distance from major metropolitan light pollution creates evening recreation of genuine quality alongside the basketball court's daytime social activity. The bird and wildlife watching in the surrounding Ozark woodland adds naturalist appeal to the fishing-centered itinerary. Bennett Spring State Park, approximately 12 miles west of Lebanon via MO-64, is one of Missouri's most intensively visited fishing destinations and the site of Missouri's annual opening trout season on the first Thursday of March—a cultural tradition in which thousands of anglers gather at the spring before dawn to participate in the season's first stocking release in a communal fishing event unique in the American fishing calendar. The park's crystal-clear spring, discharging an average of 100 million gallons of cold water daily at a constant 56 degrees, creates a year-round trout habitat in a natural spring branch of exceptional clarity and beauty that has been Missouri's most popular trout fishing site for over a century. The Gasconade River, Missouri's most consistently productive float fishing stream for smallmouth bass, flows through Laclede County and the surrounding Ozark counties in a clear-water float corridor that canoe outfitters have served from the Bennett Spring area since the mid-twentieth century development of float fishing as the Ozarks' dominant recreational water activity. Lake of the Ozarks, approximately 25 miles northeast of Lebanon, provides the Ozarks' largest reservoir with marinas, boat rentals, and the entertainment infrastructure of the Lake of the Ozarks community that supplements the Lebanon area's natural outdoor recreation with commercial lake resort amenities. Fishing Tales Resort operates year-round in Laclede County's Ozark climate, with the Bennett Spring trout season from March 1 through October 31 driving the most intense fishing-related demand and the March 1 opening day creating the resort's single most anticipated reservation window of the entire year. Summer's warm Ozark temperatures make the pool and hot tub the most popular on-property recreation, and fall's foliage season in October transforms the Ozark ridges surrounding Lebanon into a hardwood color display that extends the resort's appeal beyond the dedicated fishing community to the broader Ozark outdoor recreation visitors who follow the season's color progression south from Missouri's northern counties.
