The rolling hills and lush foliage create a serene backdrop for the RV sites throughout the changing seasons.

Binder Lake is a local treasure for fishing, boating, and kayaking, while the on-site pro-caliber disc golf course offers competitive fun for all ages.

This place is horrible…keep driving. Awe shoot, you’re still reading. Just wanted to keep this diamond in the rough all to ourselves. Truck broke down and we were towed in last minute. Turned out to be one of our favorite places we’ve stayed. Beautiful campground with huge full hook up sites. Paved and level. Also a covered picnic table, firepit, and BBQ. Quiet. Peaceful. We stayed in site 17 and it was great! Can barely see your neighbors. Big mature trees. Birds sing all day and crickets sing all night. Feels like you’re alone in the woods, but just a few minute walk up the hill to the park or a quick drive to the lake or into town. About $30/night which is crazy affordable for what you get! Camp host, Doug, was so friendly and helpful. He’s also an RV tech and gave us some very helpful advice on our slide outs that saved us! The campground is lucky to have such a kind man running things out there! We are grateful for all of his help! We were even able to get an amazon delivery right to our door.

Nice city campground. Level sites and water along with electric. Very quiet and a convenient overnight stop. Clean showers and laundry on site
Katy Catrell
Very nice and quiet campground. The woman's restroom especially the showers could use a really good cleaning - definitely had some mold there. But it is a full hookup site so those who can just use yours in your camper. Laundry on site was nice too.

Great little RV park in Jeff City. Quiet, relaxing, level pads, lots of space between sites. Bathhouse was decent. Each site has covered picnic table, and also grill and fire pit. And this is just 5 minutes from highway.
