Camp Flea Antique Mall + Vintage Market — Attraction in Ozark

Stepping into Camp Flea was like diving into a treasure trove overflowing with time capsules. Each booth felt like a meticulously curated mini-museum, with a kaleidoscope of eras and styles. One corner had Art Deco glamour with sleek chrome accents and geometric vases, while the next booth beckoned with the rustic charm of farmhouse primitives and mason jars overflowing with buttons.

Gleaming vintage Pyrex sat cheek-by-jowl with chipped china teacups, their delicate floral patterns hinting at past tea parties. A wall groaned under the weight of antique typewriters, their keys promising forgotten stories waiting to be unearthed. It was a sensory feast, a cacophony of textures and colors that somehow managed to coalesce into a harmonious whole.

He said, “hey, that said 25$!” She said, “I thought so too.” “He said well I don’t want it for 75$,” and he paid for my purchase and we left. A simple, “sir this got marked wrong” would have gone over a little better. Not sure if this is normal practice for them or not but sad to have not explained why the tag got changed on the item. If you get something from a case buy it right then or your price may have changed when you get to the register. He generally takes pictures and sends them to me to see but unfortunately didn’t on this one or we would have had them on it. Will not go back. We only deal with good, honest,...

Sometimes great sometimes not so great.

There is a vendor named Jim James that engages in false advertising. He had a blow mold dog for $49 on Marketplace but in store he was charging $89 on sale. I wish there was some kind of regulation for their vendors who do false advertising. That was truly disgusting behavior as I drove over 30 minutes to check his section out only to realize that he had lied to the general public.

However, their other vendors seem to be kind and compassionate people. That's why I am still giving...
