Welcome to the unique beauty of the Missouri Ozarks at its finest. RiverFront Campground and Canoe Rental is located on the banks of the Niangua River, adjacent to Bennett Spring State Park, a nationally famous trout fishing haven.
We offer over 200 acres of prime campsites fronting the clean and beautiful Niangua River. Wheel in your RV or pitch a tent, you’ll find the camping experience at RiverFront to be both peaceful and memorable. We’re family owned and family friendly, so bring the whole crew along for a vacation or weekend outing.
There’s nothing better than floating down the Niangua River on a beautiful Ozarks Spring, Summer or Fall day. Camping out is great too, but sometimes you want a few more amenities than the hard ground to sleep on and a smart phone for entertainment after a long day on the river. RiverFront has the perfect solution for you, your family and friends. We now have fifteen rental cabins of varying size to choose from for your next visit.
The most beautiful campground we've ever stayed at! Went during the week, so avoided the weekend crowds. Stayed 4 days, floated 2 of those days to NRO takeout where we were shuttled back to the campground. We liked Bert the bus driver, he was a hoot! River was nice with lots of fishing going on! The store at the campground had all the extras we needed, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We had lots of open space around our sites, and the grounds were kept very nice and mowed often. We will definately be back!!

One of the cleanest campgrounds I’ve stayed at in the Niangua River region, especially at the tail end of a weekend after I’m sure they deal with horses of people. Camping is what it is, you’re next to other campers, so it’s going to be noisy. Things settle down by midnight, but then everyone’s up with the sun. Ports-potties are spread throughout the grounds for easy access, but I was most impressed with the new women’s shower house - so clean and bug free! It must’ve been built with floor drainage in mind and planned well for keeping it maintained easily. Brava for that! Also want to mention our shuttle driver, Tanner, who was friendly and accommodating. He dropped my kayak back off at my campsite on his way, which was unexpected and appreciated. The business has a great employee in him! …

The campsite was perfect, close to the playground and shelter. The bathrooms were clean, with plenty of hot water. We loved the big tree's that provided lots of shade, and shelter from the rain. My grandkids had fun riding their bikes and playing badminton. We could walk down to the river to swim, fish or just throw rocks and enjoy nature. We went over to Bennett Springs to the nature center, and did some trout fishing. There just happened to be a wedding on Saturday at one of the shelters and a live band performed. We sat around the campfire enjoyed the live music while we ate chili and smores. What a pleasant surprise!! We will definitely be back! This is a perfect place for families!

Such a great location! Staff was super friendly and showerhouses were clean and well-kept. The port-a-potties scattered around the campground was a great plus rather than making a long walk to one. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will be coming back!

Great experience for novice kayakers! All of the staff, especially the fellas directing us to our kayaks, were very friendly and helpful! Our kiddos said it was the highlight of our weekend! We would absolutely come back next year!!

Camped with a large group here are some issues. Our concrete pad was great although a little narrow compared to most places we have camped. Our electricity was horrible (even though it looked like it was new I think they have to many rigs on one line. Not good) after the big rigs came in our electric 30 AMP kept going off. Was without air conditioning for 2 nights. We were in campsite D Most of the big rigs had to park in the mud the water does not drain well where they were camping. You have a 90 thousand dollar rig or better and you pay to sink in the mud. Some of the big rigs also had electric issues with it tripping when they turned on their air. My bother and his wife were in a cabin that looked new however when they used the bathtub it leaked water from the bathroom into the kitchen. It was at night so they had to use their towels to soak up the water. Told them about it the next day "oh yes the bathtub has leaked before but the shower works" really!! That was the news they could have used and no discount was offered and they should have given them that night free. Also, the master bedroom has a small bed over it and it is way to low you can't sit up in bed without hitting your head and getting in and out you have to duck. The name of the cabin was Hilltop Cabin. Their website could be more user-friendly hard to find a map of the campground you really have to search hard to find it. It was our understanding that you put your trash out and it was to be picked up every day. Some were there for a week and were never picked up even though the white truck breezed through the campsite numerous times during the day. We were there 3 days it was never picked up. Won't be going back that is for sure.…

Our water pump went out. We received a free tow and were supplied with an economical mechanic on a Sunday. Our expectations were exceeded everytime we had contact with the office. Great environment for the children and the adults. I fully recommend this wonderful place if you are planning to canoe and/or trout fish at Bennett. We will always return and recommend this place.

Awesome place to stay. The owners and staff are amazing. Clean grounds with easy access to swimming and floating. I stay here 3 to 5 times a year and won't go anywhere else. I look forward every year for the weather to warm up to go.

We have absolutely loved our stay at Riverfront in Lebanon, MO! They have a fantastic crew that have been welcoming and have gone above and beyond to make sure our stay was both comfortable and fun! We loved the view and even though it rained a monsoon, our family wants to make this a new family tradition. The cabin is homey and clean with super comfortable beds and plenty of room. Thanks Riverfront for a great trip!

We enjoyed our stay and will be back next year. Everything was in order and Amanda was fantastic! It was also nice being close to the river. Even caught a few Smallmouth Bass. Bennett Springs is just up the road 2 miles for trout fishing and there are stores nearby to grab supplies.
