State parks are often the best-value RV camping in the Ozarks: well-kept campgrounds, electric or full hookups, and locations on the region’s best lakes and springs. Here are our favorites across Missouri and Arkansas.
Missouri
Table Rock State Park
Basic, electric and full-hookup sites minutes from Branson, plus a full-service marina on Table Rock Lake. Listing →
Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Missouri’s largest state park, with nearly 200 campsites, two public beaches and Ozark Caverns. Listing →
Bennett Spring, Roaring River and Montauk
Missouri’s three classic trout parks each center on a big spring that feeds a stocked trout stream, with campgrounds steps from the water. Bennett Spring is easiest to reach from I-44, Roaring River sits in a deep hollow near Table Rock Lake, and Montauk protects the headwaters of the Current River.
Echo Bluff State Park
A newer park near Eminence with a modern lodge and campground beneath a striking bluff — a polished base for the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. Listing →
Arkansas
Bull Shoals-White River State Park
103 campsites along the White River below Bull Shoals Dam, with a trout dock and boat rentals — a dream for anglers. Listing →
Devil’s Den State Park
Civilian Conservation Corps stonework, caves and bluffs in the Boston Mountains south of Fayetteville. The valley roads are steep, so review the park’s RV directions. Listing →
Tips for state park RV camping
- Book through each state’s official reservation system and check site length limits for the exact site.
- Trout parks are busiest on opening day and summer weekends.
- Arrive before dark — park roads can be narrow and winding.
