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. Just a short drive away, history buffs can explore the Missouri State Penitentiary or walk the scenic trails along the Missouri River in the heart of the city.

Nice campground but you better have a long water hose! The campsite are nice and private with space!

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.

Very impressed!! Here April 8, 2025 just for one night on our way through the state. Lovely quiet campground, even with 3 dogs and a couple kids here. You can't beat this place- full hookups, sewer, electric, trash cans, and clean. Sherry, the camp host, meet us at the entrance and was super helpful and kind. We will be stopping in here again😁

We stayed 3 nights here in site 11 in our fifth wheel. The campground is nicely forested so there is privacy’s between most sites. It is located on a hill/ridge so some campsites you need to back uphill to get into & amount of grass in the site depends on how wooded the site was- site 11 did not have any grass, but it wasn’t muddy after a rain. Water pressure & electrical post was in good working order. Camp host is very visible & helpful. We loved walking the trails around the lake & woods with our dog. The campground is close to Jeff City attractions & shopping.

Very nice little park with great long sites with full hook up. Pads are concrete and level and angled perfectly so easy back in and not looking at your neighbors rv. Some sites share water so you may need a Y. Definitely would stay here again if in this area.

This place was great. The loudest thing here in these 18 sites were my kids! Quiet. Private. Well maintained. Concrete, level, pads and sewer and water at each site. Big, heavy, steel fire pits and grills as well. More improvements coming in December 2023. We will be back to Jefferson City for an extended work trip and we'll be setting up camp here. Dog was fantastic and available. Really enjoyed it here. Cons... You can't get to the rest of the park without a car or walking a ridiculous distance. The grass was out of control by the time we left. It needed to be cut badly, but I assume that responsibility lies on the city. There were a TON of ticks in the area - be careful! Laundy and bathrooms could stand to be updated.
