Had a great 2 weeks here! Awesome spot by the river. Caught some fish and found some treasures along the banks. Lots of really neat history here. Everyone was very nice, helpful and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

We have already been here once before and loved it ! Pulling through was easy. Very nice owner meets you at check in then drives you straight to your spot ! I love that alot of the spots are pull through to make it easy! They have an adult pool and a family friendly pool. They do have yearly sites, you can always call and ask . They have a playground for kids as well. A pavilion where they sometimes have karaoke or some event to join and have fun. The second time we invited my family and we rented the cabin deluxe one. Cute little tiny cabins ! Just has enough to sleep in. We had a long week, ran behind on check in time due to traffic accidents, everything in the camper started to break down on us but the owner was nice and understanding and still helped us with our needs. What a wonderful lady. Kids absolutely love this place. I love that there is a little balcony to fish off of on the river. The main one , current moves to fast to fish but they have a spot on the site to load and unload your boat . They did an amazing job with this campsite ! We will definitely be revisiting! Walmart/Hyvee/Gas Station, other main stores is within 15 minutes away. Not bad at all. Also, they do have showers, bathroom, coin laundry on site .

We absolutely LOVE it here. We've been fortunate enough to camp all over the US and this campground is among the best. The new owners have worked their tails off making improvements and it shows as soon as you drive in. So much nicer than before. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for a little weekend getaway the weekend before Memorial Day. This is a very nice campground that is mostly full of seasonal and monthly rental RVs and has a very nice community feel with lots of hoopties driving around. They have a few spots for nightly rentals which is where we stayed. This campground area has been here forever and I remember visiting friends here when I was little! The Campground has lots of beautiful mature trees and is right on the Osage River a few miles below Bagnall Dam. The owners now own Camp Bagnall also and both campgrounds are run out of one office. They have a family pool and and adults only pool. It was a little cool this weekend, so we did not swim, but there were lots of people using the pool all day Saturday. We were right across from the family pool and it was never too loud or annoying and the owners were enforcing the rule that kids needed to have an adult with them. The shower house / bathroom was very clean each time I used it and all of the facilities were well kept! The nightly camp sites are a little bit rough, but we had no problems. They are all gravel and most of them are in an area where there is a transition in elevation, so we drove up a slope to our pad area. The pad was almost perfectly level, but there was a tree in the way to put our canopy out, so we backed up a little and then lost the levelness. No biggie as we were able to level up with leveling chocks and had a wonderful weekend! I would be careful if you have a pretty big RV before using the nightly sites and would check with the owners before booking. Our 5th wheel is 32' and fit good! We will definitely stay here again! Oh, the restaurant "Southern Comfort at Camp Bagnall" was awesome! Some of the best fried catfish I have ever eaten!

The Title says "Best damn campground in the Ozarks" I feel it's the best damn campground in Missouri! Very friendly staff, very clean. Well kept sites, wonderful pool, playground, basketball court with balls to play. Our family had an absolute blast and we WILL be back!!!
