Clean, quiet campground. Campsites are spacious. Swimming beach is about 15 minute drive away at Spalding Rec Area, but worth the drive. Beautiful recreation area with nice picnic areas and shower house.

Beautiful campground. Shower house was old & outdated, but well maintained & cleaned regularly. Other shower houses in different loops were being updated so I'm guessing ours is on the list for renovation in the near future.

We arrived on Sunday, 6/11/23 at Ray Behren’s Deer run site #6 and it had rained that morning, leaving our site #6 muddy due to the lack of gravel. Also the blacktop pad to crack away at the edges due to the gravel is not even with the pad. There is big chunks of the blacktop laying around the site. My husband had to be careful not to back the trailer off the pad as the drop off is about 4”. We stayed on #7 last year and it has the same problem lack of gravel and pad breaking away at the edges. I left a note about on my reservation card # I turned in, but nothing was done.
Also there is a water spigot on the loop to the right is leaking! It is probably, leaking a gallon of water every ten minutes! What a waste of water when the state of Missouri is in a drought! I know the rangers drive around all the time and have seen it! My question is why isn’t it being repaired.
Why are they not replacing the restroom they tore down! The photos look real nice, but it would be even nicer if construction of these would have been done before the camping season began! Just looks like the Corp of Engineers are not on the top of their game!

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
