Lake of the Ozarks has a full complement of boating options. Want a quiet place to hike or mountain bike? The park’s thousands of wooded acres have lots of places to get away from it all, with 12 trails that wind through the park. Cabins and yurts make the park a welcome place for families looking to enjoy the lake but escape the hustle and bustle of some of the nearby towns. And Ozark Caverns – complete with its lantern-light cave tour – presents an unforgettable experience. « less

My sister and I have been to the park two years in a row! The cabins are comfortable, rustic and so cute! Wood stoves in them if needed, a cute little kitchen prep area and the loft beds were comfy. No AC, running water or electric but sometimes its nice to just go easy. Don't recommend if it's really hot,... More

We stayed at this campground for 2 nights and found it to be a nice quiet location with sites both high above the lake and lower next to the beach. Since it was early April, the beach wasn't a consideration plus those sites do not have electric hookups. We found our stay to be very nice and staff was helpful.... More

Good launch ramps, and campgrounds. Many fishing tournaments originate here, and it has a nice public beach.

Many people who go to the lake have no idea where this park is located. It is a place that tournament fisherman know very well. Many Bass Tournaments use this park as the put in place for fisherman. Part of the State Park sets on the old Boy Scout Camp grounds (Camp Pahetsi). There are picnic tables in the area.

We had a great campsite with full hook up and a wonderful view. It is a little far out for dining and city life if you want to drive in and experience Osage Beach, but the Kayaking was great and it was very beautiful.

Put this on your bucket list; I should not be giving it such a good review because it is such a gem, don't want it to get too crowded! Excellent fishing, my all-time favorite camping site.

This state park is located on the Grand Glaize arm of the lake near the town of Osage Beach, Missouri. At the entrance, they have an RV dump station, a laundry room, and a store with limited stock, but most of what a camper would need. The campsites are well separated for sufficient privacy, and include a blacktop strip for... More

We enjoyed driving around and seeing all the different things available in this park. They've got it all -- tent camping, cabins, rv camping, stables and horseback riding, many trails of all varieties, public beach access to swimming in the lake, naturalist programs at the amphitheatre and a beautiful setting. All we really did was take one of the hikes.... More
