We tent camped for 6 nights. Its a beautiful location with clean facilities. Came on a Wednesday with hardly any one else there. By Friday it started to fill up. Full on Saturday and started emptying on Sunday. By Monday and Tuesday its like we had it pretty much to ourselves. Roads are paved, lots of shady spot, and lots of spots with beautiful views of Truman Lake. Long shoal marina is with walking distance or a very short drive with boat slips, food, bait, and gas for your boat.

We camp at this site more than any other on Truman Lake. The sites we pick are shady and ample room for our family and friends. Rules are simple to follow and guests have an easy time navigating. Bathrooms are always clean, paths to the water are nicely mowed.
Always a good experience!

We enjoyed the marina for dinner one night. We also enjoyed visiting the swim beach and glad that it is still being maintained.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- A camping permit is required and must be obtained at the park booth. Limits apply to equipment and vehicle parking.
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.
