I returned to this Park after a delightful week hiking the numerous trails last fall. After one day of hiking and returning with dozens of ticks on me and my dog, I stopped hiking and just walked the paved roads through camp. Most seem to be Lone Star Ticks which usually don’t transmit Lyme Disease, but can carry other diseases. Simparica on my dog is effective—ticks latch on but die after 24 hrs or so. That didn’t help me despite strong Deet and long sleeves/pants with socks over pants, Ticks found their way to my skin. The cam host said ticks have been really bad the past few years. Even sitting out or walking on asphalt, ticks drop from trees. Ugh. Made my stay very unpleasant. Road biking on park road hilly but light traffic. Verizon from my site weak to non resistant. OTA tv has about a dozen channels of old westerns, Christian, and far right news/talk shows. Electric only at site. Bathhouses 2-4 adequate, 1 is awful with preformed fiberglass stalls and no grab bars. A disappointing stay.
If you are coming from south don’t use Kaiser address, it’ll take you to south side of lake and you’ll need to make a 40 mi trip around lake to campground. Use 53 Lakeview Bend Trail, BRUMLEY to get you to the right place.

Not a bad stay. We arrived shortly after water was turned on. Electric sites only. Water was available in many places through out the campground. We stayed in loop 3 which was fairly empty mid week. Roads and pads are very narrow and not much room for maneuvering into sites. Large trees and culverts with guard rails throughout the park make backing a challenge on many sites. Cell service on Verizon next to nothing. Hiking was good with many options available. Deer wandering throughout the park evenings and mornings. Showers were clean but un-heated in our loop. Bit chilly on 33F mornings for showers.

We've camped at this state park a number of times over the years. There are many sites and variety of settings from which to choose. We reserved our site on the lower level to be able to view the lake, though it has been a dry summer and the lake level is quite low. The cell signal is very weak in this part of the campground and we needed to access our email while driving to other parts of the park.
We stayed for enough days to try most of the trails in the park and really enjoyed the hiking.
The campground is well maintained and the campground hosts are very helpful and attentive.

A large state park with many hiking trails. Most are short, but interconnect for longer hikes. Several leave from campground, others need to be driven to.
Road biking ok—hilly and no shoulder on county roads, but not too much traffic.
Many camp sites are shady, some are on lake, some have peek-a-boo views, others forest views. Lots of deer roaming through camp, squirrels very active and armadillos roam at night.
Bath houses are well maintained. Showers are hot with good pressure.
No adherence to rule of no parking on grass, nor limit of two vehicles.
Some OTA tv stations.
Shoreline full of trash
Weekends were loud with campers, speeding boats and personal watercraft, and low-flying planes.

I thought the trails would be more bike friendly but they are not, not at all. Very rough even for a mountain bike.

This is a large campground and getting to our site seemed like a bit of drive to get to. We stayed on a Friday night and it was mostly full. We had a site that backed up to the lake. The lake view was nice but the site was sloped pretty good towards the lake. We had one bar of LTE but it was mostly unusable. We were also unable to receive any TV channels. We didn't have another site that close to us but there wasn't much privacy. Our campsite was under the approach path for the airport that is next to the airport. We enjoy that but some might not. The campground seemed to be pretty quiet. There's two dump stations which was nice.

At 43’ we were super tight getting around the park and backed into our site but we made it going slowly. The site is enormous and our view of the Lake is amazing. Water spigots throughout the campground and a couple of dump sites. Electric (50A) on our premium electric spot shows 121v on each leg, through the park is mostly empty and no one is running ACs due to weather. We couldn’t be happier with the site. Down by the lake in our spot was have one bar of ATT and enough service to do work/calls. Able to stream early in the morning and late in the evening. Verizon shows one bar but doesn’t seem to be working. Sites seem well maintained and ours has a new 7’ picnic table on it.

Nice park on lake with many shady spots; wonderful host Gay and park ranger took one look at our 27 ft. Airstream and told us we might not fit in reserved spot (Loop 2, /#36) and to come back for another after we took a look. Sure enough it would have been tight so they set us with a better spot on loop 3 overlooking woods and lake. Loop 2 is really for smaller rigs and spots are tight - wouldn't recommend. Loops 3 and 4 have best sites with loop 4 offering sites on the lake. Only a couple down there with electric so they go quickly. Quiet park but super busy on weekends - lots of tent campers. Deer are everywhere and have no fear of humans or cars so be careful driving through park Most cleared out on Monday. Laundry was just OK; cold water only and only one washer working; $1.25/wash & $1 dry. Numerous well-marked trails in park; only a few for bicycles and they are super rocky; not for a novice rider.
Osage Beach is nearby for any stores/supplies you need. We put our WIFI booster outside and did get enough to stream but there is no service down on lake.
