We are total newbies to glamping. It was so extremely quiet and peaceful. Everything was clean and well maintained. Will definitely be back.

All was very good. Great friendly and helpful person in the entry house. Unfortunately it was the last day that they were open, or we would have stayed longer.

Our camp spot was right next to the swimming area which was great. Great view of the lake, relatively close to the bathroom and being on a weekday, it was quiet. We didn't do this, but it's close to Dogwood Canyon, Kimberling City, etc. A very good, relaxing experience.

1st time back here to camp since about 2004. 4 nights, Sunday thru Thursday. Not much changed. Still an out of the way, clean, quiet place, not many tourist/partyers. Grass around the immediate campsites a little high, but not annoyingly. Grass/weeds in other areas, real tall, but it's also been an abnormally wet August. No cell phone issues, Verizon. Even had a good hotspot signal for watching TV. I think the more weekend people there are, the less signal to share. Wife's 1st time at a CoE park, we have a membership at a private, mostly landlocked park. She's ready to go back to Baxter again.
