Long Shoal

The bird-watching was excellent. We sat in our chairs with our binoculars for hours watching the bald eagles and ospreys fish over the water and an orchard oriole built a nest in a branch right next to our site as we watched! Very quiet with friendly campers who mostly seem to go out every day on their boats. Huge immaculate shower house. Multiple beaches for cooling off.

What I like about this campground is it woodsy but yet the campgrounds are in super shape. The crew there really keep it clean. They are always friendly and helpful

I LOVE Longshoal! We’ve been going there for years! But the shady couple that works there is trashing up the loop they “live” in. They have multiple trailers, cars and trash just laying around. Plus the story of one man being shot and the wife marrying the brother gives me visions of Ozark. They had parked several cars 1/2 way in the one lane road all weekend so taking our boat to the marina and getting our camper out the day we were departing a huge issue. Our camper was in the tree branches to get around their parked trucks. The other two attendants are amazing clean and super friendly!

We loved staying at Longshoal and are planning vacations for next year to reserve camping site.
It was just beautiful great sites clean bathrooms and showers. Nice and quiet a real serine feeling.

Comfy campground. Some sites heavily wooded, other more open with direct lake access. It appears COE is in the process of upgrading electrical service and adding drinking water access to many (all?) of the sites.
Campground has a mix of flush toilet bathrooms and "outhouse privies".
One pending maintenance issue: the men's shower house is in need of new doors.
The campground is <10 miles from the town of Warsaw, which has a nice network of interconnected hiking/biking trails on the Osage River/upper Lake of the Ozarks. Warsaw has better shopping opportunities than you would ordinarily expect from a smaller rural town, including a Walmart Supercenter.

Camp Host was awesome, there if you needed him, and Not if you didn't! Clean, nice view, lots of room. Handy to Marina.
Will be back!!

Nice update to sites with water!!!!!

Really enjoyed the site that I was on great view of the lake. Also, the camp post was awesome friendly and did everything he could to keep us happy. Will definitely go back.

The reservation process was very nice. The restrooms and shower area were very well maintained and clean. The sites in the campground were less than desirable as there were stumps and large sticks/branches that had to be cleared for pitching a tent. On two nights of our visit there was a very loud group of people that were playing loud music and yelling at each other well into the early morning hours. I didn't see any posting about quiet time , but this should be something that is enforced so as not to interrupt other campers nights.
Other wise a nice place and experience.

We had a good time and enjoyed our stay
