This small campground on Thomas Hill reservoir allows for boating, fishing and a great getaway. Close to Highway 36 taking Highway 3 then following the directions as provided. Binoculars would make for great observations of wildlife here. Friendly staff. This is a first come first serve location. When I arrived there were only four spaces out of 10 left. I chose one that would be best for a tent with some shade. Covered picnic table. Regulation metal fire ring. Parking is good for big rigs as well as van type campers. Enjoying the peaceful breeze coming off the water. This feels like a diamond in the rough!

I can't even nitpick about this place. It's clean, quiet, safe, and beautiful. I didn't want to leave, but was in search of a cooler climate in July. Shopping is 17 miles away. I had full bars with ATT. People were super friendly. Like someone else mentioned... Follow the signs not Google maps. If you're trying to decide between here a... more

Happy trails everyone!

Really nice free campsite. Right next to the lake, large spaces with picnic tables, fire rings, and shade structures. No water or electric. Easy in and out for our 40 foot fifth wheel.

Similar experience to the previous reviewer. Stayed Friday/Saturday. Only six sites were occupied over the weekend, with some day-use boating traffic.
No longer any bridge issues... was able to drive east to the 3.

I was looking for somewhere to stay overnight while passing through Missouri and decided this was better than a Walmart. To my surprise, this was much, much better than not only a Walmart, but a lot of pay campgrounds I've stayed at. The campground was clean, well-maintained, and overall very nice. There are absolutely no hook-ups, but there are two water spigots in the campground and vault toilets. The sites were level gravel pads, well-marked, and each one had a fire ring and a covered picnic table. There weren't (m)any trees for privacy, but they were spaced far apart and each one had a great view of the reservoir. In addition to the campground there is a pier for fishing, two boat ramps, and a fish cleaning station. I was the only camper on Monday night, but there was quite a bit of day-use activity from people fishing and using the boat ramp. If I had been staying longer I definitely would have wanted to get out onto the water--the reservoir looked clean, clear, and calm.
There's not much in the surrounding area to see or do and I can't imagine this would be a destination visit for anyone but locals, but as a stop-over on the way to somewhere else it was very, very nice. One note: The bridge over the reservoir is closed (and it appears it has been for some time), so you must approach the campground from the east. When driving to the campground, signs will warn you that the road is closed ahead. It is, but it's closed past the campground, not before it.
