Ronny (spelling), was really nice on the check in. She is a top quality staff person to have greet folks as they come in. Bathrooms were very clean and I rate them as two thumbs up. I would definitely stay again. They only info I can give, is I wish the park was open year round.

Great value for a spacious campsite with electric picnic table and fire pit. Nice view of the Missouri river. Very clean bathrooms with hot shower. I hope to come back again.

No issues. Nice campground. Grass was very over grown though. Would've been nice to have it cut before the weekend.

Love Tailwaters but the grass was tall like hadn’t been mowed. Didn’t seem as well kept or maintained the camping areas. Not much space to the pads we had. Hard to put tents on them due to lack of space and grass maintenance. Bathroom always seems clean and showers good hot water. We will stay again here!!

Overrun with campers using tents on camper pads.
Camp Host has a sign by their camper to check in here, but when you knock no one answers.
Bathrooms were out of toilet paper all weekend.

Site 4. These first few sites were close to each other,so they lacked privacy. The upside was being on the river next to the boat launch. Bathroom was clean but small. I didn't see any water available. Maybe at the dump station?
