Ray Behrens is one of best campgrounds at Mark Twain lake. Clean well kept camp sites with all the amenities you like to have. Highly recommend any of the Corp of Engineers campgrounds around the lake.

Site was shaded very nicely. Only thing was fire pit was full of ash, but it was so warm we wouldn’t have a had a fire any ways. Loved the Cannon dam visitor’s/information center.

Staff was very nice. We did get hounded within 15 mins of arriving at our spot to put our ticket on the post which was annoying. Our spot looked much different in person than online. It had a big drainage type ditch running through it & with the rain before we came & once while we were there our spot was very soggy & wet the entire time & a lot of crumbling asphalt from our driveway from the water drainage right there. My family & I used to camp there a lot when I was growing up but it's been 15-20 yrs & I was disappointed that the bathrooms hadn't been spruced up at all in that time. They were very dirty & full of bugs as if it hadn't been cleaned in months & the bathrooms were running low on toilet paper. The campground seems to cater to campers now & not tents so it seems like the bathrooms have just been let go. The campground itself has been kept up nicely. I like the new picnic tables vs. the old wood ones. I wish the boat ramp was monitored the way the campground is because we kept dealing with people fishing right at the boat ramp when there is clear signs that fishing right there is prohibited.

Great place to camp. Sites had plenty of grass for tents and plenty of space. Well kept area. Bathrooms were clean. The first Shower stall on the women's side is very hot and you can't adjust the temperature. The second shower is much cooler, and just trickles out. These could be updated, but over all good place.

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.
