This was our first stay in a U.S Army Corps of Engineers site. This campground is wonderful. It is not close to a lot of amenities; but if you want to venture out and just enjoy nature - this is the place to do it. It is also a good place to stay a night or two if you are traveling on Interstate 40 as it is an easy off and on access. Our rates were cut by 50% because we have the senior pass. Even without that, rates are reasonable for the accommodations. Long sites with plenty of room to park the car. Fire pits, wood fire grates for charcoal cooking, nice picnic tables at each site. Good electric and water; but no sewer. There is a dump station. Waterfront and water view sites. We were able to get satellite and internet with our Verizon card. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend, and the place was packed. Park staff told us that this place fills up every weekend so reservations are definitely a 'must'. Sites are large enough and well spaced to allow for privacy. Half of the sites back up to Lake Ozark ( more like a wide spot in the Arkansas River ).The other half of the sites are across the road from this lakefront sites. You can sit on your patio and watch turtles sunning themselves while barges go through the lock. Or, you can fish from you campsite. The town of Ozark is close by with shops & restaurants. And, yes, the trains do go by at all hours. I heard them at night but the husband slept through them!! We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fifteen minutes off I40 this campground is clean and well-maintained by the Corps of Engineers. The site is located on Ozark Lake and has a dump site, playground, and is open all year. Many of the sites are paved. The only downside is noise from the railroad trains across the lake. Would recommend this campground to those who want to get away from the city. The sites are also very wide and easily accessed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
