Ray Behrens camp — Hotel in Monroe City

Beautiful campground with extremely spacious sites. My only issue is our campsite was number 29 and there were cigarette butts everywhere outside, I mean at least 300 on the ground. Also there were so many bugs constantly swarming to the point where you almost needed goggles to walk around, I understand camping but it was so excessive they were under our clothes once we got back inside. Also we were not warned about the showers near our site not even existing, it was just a mound of dirt. My husband is disabled and we chose that site specifically for the location being relative to the showers, for them to not even be there. It should have been included in the booking that the amenities listed are not available. Other than it needing work it is decent enough for a couple...

Looks like a good lake for boating and fishing. Not crowded at all. Easy to stay away from people who...

We stayed for a week at the Ray Behrens campground. We stayed at site 113 in the Little Blue Stem area, we backed in and had full hook ups for $26 a night. We really enjoyed this campground. We had plenty of room between us and the next camper. Each site included a wooden picnic table and a fire pit. There was a large grass area between us and the next campsite and our camper was on an asphalt pad. The site we had in particular had a huge elevation slope from front to back and even at our most extreme settings we could not get our camper fully leveled. This was not a big issue, just something to keep in mind. Overall this was one of our favorite campgrounds we have stayed.

There are deer throughout the property, be sure to drive slow especially during...
