So we’re camping here right now (6/4/18) We are from Missouri and camp often at Mo state parks.

Im excited to see such improvements because after the tornados this campground seemed to go down quite a bit. But this staff is doing a...
Read moreThe campground was nice. But the park ranger that was working didnt seem to want to enforce rules. We rented a site for 3 nights /3 days. On our 2nd day we left our site and when we returned the campers in the sight next to us had their vehicles parked on our site. When we said something to the ranger he tried to act like it was no big deal. It is stated only 2 cars per site. They had a camper, 2 trucks , a car and a boat. The ranger tried to make excuses for them. I dont want to hear excuses. I paid for the sight NOT them! Other then that I have...
