Found this little gem quite by accident while traveling back to Texas from Ohio. It is a really nice park: lots of shade trees and grass, dog park, and level RV spaces. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

I had a great time staying here. I was looking for an affordable and safe tent camping campsite with a place to take a shower in the morning. This place was nice and quiet with clean toilet facilities and the showers weren't bad, just a little old. Totally usable and didn't have to scrounge up quarters to utilize them, either.

I was looking for an affordable and safe tent camping campsite with a place to take a shower in the morning. This place was nice and quiet with clean toilet facilities and the showers weren't bad, just a little old. Totally usable and didn't have to scrounge up quarters to utilize them, either. (They were free with a paid stay) The other campers were respectful and I never once felt like my car would be broken into in the night like some campsites I've been to in the West. Yes, the pool was closed, but they had a sign on the door of the office letting everyone know before checking in, so I don't know what that other reviewer was complaining about. This place ain't the Bellagio hotel and resort, but it is a nice, quiet, clean and safe place to camp. I would definitely recommend it.

Mostly permanent residents. No access to laundry facilities if they have them ?. Pool was not available if at any time. Would not recommend staying here. Also residents behind campground come and go all night on same road as campers.

Very nice RV park, with 30/50 amp pull throughs and nice bathhouses. Great price, discounts available, and we took advantage of their Military discount, thank you! The main roads and several of the spots were nicely graveled with fresh pea gravel. We arrived after dark and they were able to accomodate us without in-person contact. See their nice website for more info. Google reviews were very... Very nice RV park, with 30/50 amp pull throughs and nice bathhouses.

We ended up plugging into our neighboring site for electric, and a fire ring was eventually brought to us. The email containing the wifi and bathroom password was blank, no information. I walked up to the store at 4:30pm to inquire only to find that the store had closed 30min early that day. After 3 calls I was able to get in touch with the number on the door, and was told the wifi isn't great but was given a password anyway. There was no wifi. Which is fine, except it was advertised, so obviously expected.The pool was large but invested with dead insects, and the floor of the pool clearly needs some repairs. I did not try using the bathroom, I wasnt ready for more disappointments. This place is fine in a pinch. If you can stay elsewhere, I would.

We were VERY IMPRESSED with Robin and her husband Darrell (sorry Robin if I spelled that wrong) they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to turn our disappointment into a enjoyable experience, and because of them, we will be coming back to this campground and bringing friends!!!! For being volunteer "employees" of this camp ground, they take pride in it and go out of their way to make people feel welcome. You should put these guys on the payroll!!!

Hannah, Katie & Bill have created the perfect getaway right on the Gasconade and we are so thankful for them!

Hannah, Katie & Bill have created the perfect getaway right on the Gasconade and we are so thankful for them! We have camped twice with them since November and have 2 more booked before the end of the year. What I love the most, aside from how personable and accommodating the three of them are (their customer service is top notch!)...they let our groups arrange our campers so we all open into a common space...very rare. And their spaces are larger than usual so you have plenty of room but still the camping community feel. They check on you throughout your stay to see if you need anything but they also visit and get to know their campers. Your good time is super important to them. The campground itself is located right on the river and has a wide gravel bar for putting in/taking out (they also offer float services!). We spent yesterday just sitting in our chairs out in the middle of the river and it was so relaxing. They have full hookup, water/electric, and primitive sites. They let you fish in their stocked pond and they are super pet friendly. They also have a large, fully furnished home that overlooks the river, separate from the campsites, that can be rented for events. I have no complaints and can't wait until our next visit! If you haven't stayed with them, you really should take a weekend, or a week, and head there. Thank you Hannah (she's their daughter but we all know she runs the place 😆), Katie and Bill and see you soon! ❤️

We almost left a 1-star review to keep Froggy’s our secret. I mean, why make it harder for us to book next time, right? But we couldn’t do it. This place deserves ALL the stars and then some. 👏🏼👏🏼 The lodge? Massive with plenty of space for our STL/KC crew. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and things we didn’t even know we needed. The fire pit is AMAZING. 🔥 The river was too high to float (thanks Mother Nature) but Bill (the owner) and Chris weren’t about to let that kill the vibe. They made sure we had an unforgettable time anyway. Total legends. Chill, hilarious, and just the kind of people you want around a campfire or in your apocalypse survival crew. We’re already plotting our return! Froggy’s has officially become that place: the one we want to brag about but also gatekeep like our lives depend on it. If you’re lucky enough to book it…just promise you won’t take our weekend.
