Camelot RV Campground

Nice camp ground right outside of Poplar Bluff. Site is small but well maintained. Issue is owners, not polite or caring. Day 1 we go to walk our dogs at dog area and they put us almost as far away from there despite our request to be close because of handicap. My lab has to go on the way there as I was walking slow with my cane going down a slope. Owner came up and n her cart and told me next time to walk faster as the dog needs to make it to the dog area. I was in shock with that statement. A few days later they area mowing and blowing of sites. They come and start our site while we are sitting outside blowing dust and dirt everywhere. So we go inside and then come out to take the dogs to dog area but we can’t because they are blowing and mowing between us and the dog area. So we take them across from our site in an open field and immediately the owner came up in his side by side yelling you can’t allow your dog to cross the gravel drive and must take to the dog area. We were told by staff and a long term camper to go there because we pick up after our dogs and the dog area is not picked up. There are no poop bags or disposal for them.
If you are here with no dogs then life is good or only if you are staying a night or two while passing through.
Oh and forgot to mention the cat roaming the property and marking things like our chair. Didn’t make the dogs very happy either.

This was actually our second stay at Camelot. Our first time was in September 2020 and the site was near the exit to the campground and which was a little noisy.
This September 2021, our site was more in the interior and was shady. Each time we were led to our site to be sure all was well.
We appreciated that so much.

I chose this RV campground because of the good reviews and because it was right off our travel route. It proved to be a good decision. We hope to stay again in the future.

Very clean, well kept campground. Staff was very friendly. The lady leads you thru on the golf cart to park you at night which was super helpful in an unfamiliar place. Flat sites. There are a lot of puddles when it rains. In our case it rained steady for quite a long time but once it cleared the puddles subsided. Bring your own fire pit/fire ring as they do not provide one. It is right off the highway so you do hear road noise at times but overall a great campground.

Great park right off highway 60. Dale was the camp host and he was very nice and took us to our site which always makes it easier. Jean takes your reservations over the phone and she was also very accommodating. It's a small park and the roads are tight but we have a 44ft motor home with a toad and made it fine. They have done a nice job maintaining the roads as it's hard packed gravel. There is a section closer to the road that they use for short timers which was fine as we could get satellite tv and verizon internet with no problem. You do hear road noise but wasn't too bad. Cost was great!

Level campsite with full hook-ups. Most sites were in the shade. No laundry room or bathhouses available for use. There was a grassy area for your pets (no fence) but the pet policy was 14 sentences long. My favorite statement was "Please keep your pets moving until you reach the pet area, this may avoid accidents along the way." So make sure you move Fido right along. Some road noise but I would think that those sites in the trees would have less. Had AT&T service with no problems but I don't remember how many bars (probably 4).

Beautiful camp. Trees provide lovely shade and a barrier to road noise. Friendly campers. I would have rated Camelot a full 5 stars but there were 2 things that tweaked me. First was the man who Unexpectedly jumped in between our truck and rig to snap a picture of the license plate; “so we didn’t have to bother asking you for it” they said. I’d rather be asked thank you very much. We had just pulled up and I was getting out. How could he be sure we would remain at a full stop? Seems incredibly stupid as well as inconsiderate. Given his sudden appearance I was unquestionably startled. The second issue was the extreme pet policy. I get the “no aggressive breeds” policy. Most places follow the same. But. Seriously folks, the expectation that a dog will hold its business all the way to the designated doggy area?! Totally unrealistic. Which also severely limits any dog exercise because the dog space is not enclosed and they have to remain leashed at all times. So I walked my dog around the campground anyway. Cuz she (and I) cannot travel all day and then have no exercise. And I absolutely refuse to walk an unknown area without my dog. So, that said, beautiful place to stop or stay for a while.
