Lamar City Park

Ok, so everything around this is nice. The actual RV spots are horrible. It was a swamp. Granted all the main they had did not help. I would not pay $20 a night. Electrical hookups are questionable but worked. Some fuses melted in the box. Nothing is really marked clearly and as another review stated, the trains! Oh my, the trains go by a lot during the night. Noise cancelling head gear is in order!

The park across the street however is beautiful!

We had large drive through site with 50 amp service and a nice level lot. Our rig is 40 foot and we pull a pickup truck. The swimming pool was across the parking lot and only cost three dollars per person. They have both an indoor and outdoor pool. There are train tracks nearby, so of course there are trains and whistles during the night.

We were the only ones in this very convenient spot tonight. There is ample room for many RV's of any size or type, since it is an open, flat, grassy space. While this is mostly a dry camping site, electricity is provided at the few telephone poles with various inputs, so we hooked up 30 amp service and have our A/C running on a hot summer night. Sweet! There is a small rest room building with flush toilets, lights and running water, one each for men and women. There is a gorgeous pool adjacent to this grassy area that is part of the park. There is a $5 daily admission. Check for pool hours; it is currently 12-7pm weekdays. This park is just off I49, the major US N/S highway on western Missouri, so it is convenient to access. There is a sign asking you to register with the caretaker, who lives in the park. We simply told him we were here for one night and he graciously bade us a good stay. I think the first two nights are free, but there is a donation box by the rest rooms. It's very quiet here (other than for two trains that went by), since the site is part of a charming park, which makes for a nice stroll. There are a couple of water spigots and a dump station, but I'm not sure if it's functional, since the top is off to the side, as if there was work being done. Site quality is 3 because it's basically a mowed grass field.
