nice location, campground is well kept, our site #97 Ray Behrens was fairly level, little bit of a step off the blacktop towards
the grass area but nothing horrible. Full hookups was a nice plus to this site. Trails could use a little more gravel to make a
level surface for walking. We enjoyed our stay.

We moved to this spot half way through our stay and loved it. With our 43' motorhome and attached car hauler trailer, we backed the trailer wheels up to the stops and had no issues leveling without blocks. The site does slope down a bit in front but we were good. This is a long big-rig friendly site.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ray Behren's!

Great full hookup site in probably the most level and accessible part of the campground for bigger RVs. We are a 43' motorhome with 22ft trailer and had no issues leveling. Water pressure, site comfort, and overall quality of this loop were superb.

This is a great campground and we would totally recommend it.

The campground was lovely but the bathrooms across from us had standing water and mosquitoes the whole time we were there on the women's side.

The park is always well maintained and clean. We like access to the lake and trails. The sites are a good size and well spaced. It’s always fun to go into local towns like Hannibal or Paris which has a lot of history of Mark Twain. Ray Behrens is one of our favorite parks.

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.
