Location & Surroundings
Situated near the eastern shores of Lake Jacomo, the campground is nestled within over 7,800 acres of protected parkland. The environment is characterized by rolling hills and dense stands of native hickory and oak trees, which provide a sense of seclusion and privacy.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts can spend their days at the Lake Jacomo Marina, which offers various boat rentals and is known for some of the best fishing in the state for crappie and catfish. History buffs should prioritize a visit to Missouri Town 1855, a living history museum located within the park that depicts life in the mid-19th century. For those who prefer land-based activities, the area boasts an extensive network of multi-use trails perfect for hiking or mountain biking through lush timber and native Missouri prairies.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is perfectly suited for recreational boaters and families who desire a quiet retreat with a wealth of activities right at their doorstep. It is an excellent choice for local weekend travelers seeking a high-quality getaway without a long drive from the city. Because of its peaceful environment and proximity to the lake, it also appeals strongly to birdwatchers and nature photographers.

This was our first time staying here (second weekend in September), we have a pop up camper and we stayed in spot 60. There was no shade in our spot, which wasn’t an issue for us because during the day we were out exploring. The hostess was very welcoming, and kept a good eye on the entire campsite (she would drive around checking in, and offered the kiddos snacks/treats). The have a really nice playground which was perfect for our, 7yr. 5yr. And 3yr. old. They offer “family” bathrooms which includes the shower and toilet all in one restroom. They did not have hand soap in either of the family bathrooms, which we had brought our own since we were camping.. so that wasn’t an issue for us, but just a heads up for when camping at this location.

We have camped here for the last few years and always have a great time. It's just a small drive to anything you need but when you're tucked up in the campground it's quiet and feels more remote. It's been a good experience the last couple of years but this year's hosts brought a personal touch that was nice! Krissy loved hearing all of our stories and contributing hers! She drove around each night with her sweet pup in the cart to distribute a little treat for each kid.

It was a perfect getaway close to home. Just from the start you know it will be a great stay after you chat with amazing hosts Krissy and Chris. They helped us picked great spot close to playground and told us about things to do around. Kristy and Chris make you feel like home and check on with everyone if everything is going well. The campground is very clean and organized. Sites are big enough to have some privacy. There is a gate with a code to get in, so you feel safe there will be no random cars driving around. It is a perfect spot for family getaway but it's also quiet enough if you are looking for a more solitude experience. We will definitely be back.

Loved the two set of hosts presents. They were nice and welcoming. The whole place was clean, quiet, neat The only negative I gave is the water pressure sucked in the showers I tried most of them and all had a bit of water coming out not good for long hair

Sweet spot, great hosts, solid bathrooms. 2 gals and their dog enjoyed site 15 tent camping. Fireflies and a good greenwashing on the trial and by the lake were just what the doctor ordered. Thai place 10 mins away was great too, and plenty of stores and places to eat nearby if not prepared for camp cooking!
