Morning on the Lake of the Ozarks starts with boat wakes rolling against the docks below the bluff at Mile Marker 25, and from a wooded pad at Sunrise Beach the water fills the windshield. Kids drift down to the slips and the saltwater pool by the resort dock before breakfast is cleared, and by the third day nobody is asking to move the rig. Most Missouri RV weeks are built on that shoreline, with a family-size motorhome hooked up for seven nights while the days go to the water.
Lake of the Ozarks State Park is the quieter version, with the shoreline left as undeveloped coves and a picnic table close enough to the water to hear it lap. Resort pads put the dock and the pool a short walk away, and the park trades both for a cove of your own, so the shore you pick sets the tone of the week.
Riviera, Lake Ozarks RV Resort, and the state park's electric loops
Riviera RV Resort is the bluff at Mile Marker 25 in Sunrise Beach, the place with the pool and the boat slips. Its pads come in concrete, turf and gravel, as back-ins and pull-throughs, with full water and sewer and 20, 30 or 50 amps at each, and the pool runs Memorial Day through late September as of October 2026.
Over in Osage Beach, Lake Ozarks RV Resort runs full-hookup sites with 20, 30 and 50 amps on generous pads, 95-foot pull-throughs and 50-foot back-ins. Either length clears a week-rental motorhome with plenty to spare.
At the state park, the campground splits into electric or basic sites in Sections 1 through 3 and sewer, electric and water only in Section 4, with 50-amp sites in the mix. That split is the reason to book the park site first and the rig second. A Section 4 pad lets you stay all week without breaking camp to empty tanks, while an electric-only pad means planning a dump run, so the site you land shapes both the trip and the rig you rent for it.
Two people traveling light can fold the lake into a longer loop with the Katy Trail through Hermann and the trout parks at Bennett Spring, Roaring River and Montauk, and that trip is written up on the Missouri campervan page.
Branson, Silver Dollar City, and Table Rock State Park
Branson runs on a different rhythm from the lake: rides at Silver Dollar City by day, shows along the Highway 76 strip at night, and the rig parked on a full-hookup site the whole week in between.
Branson Shenanigans RV Park is the in-town base, level gravel pads under the trees two blocks off Highway 76, with full hookups and 30 or 50 amps at every site and pull-through, pull-in and back-in spots. It states it is open year-round, as of October 2026.
Silver Dollar City Campground belongs to the theme park and runs a free shuttle to the gate, so the rig never leaves its pad on park days. Its 50-amp pull-throughs come with water and sewer, alongside plain 50-amp and 30-amp sites.
For the lake side of Branson, Table Rock State Park camps under oak and hickory shade, with sewer, electric and water sites in Campground 2, electric and full-hookup sites in Campground 1, and dump stations in both. It's the quietest of the three, and the one on the water itself.
Mark Twain Lake and Pomme de Terre for a rig
The Corps of Engineers lakes are the plainer lake week, electric sites along the shore and a campground loop to walk at dusk. Mark Twain Lake, up near Hannibal in the northeast, and Pomme de Terre each have their own RV page with the campgrounds and the pad details. A week that starts in a city has its own page too, for the parks close to Kansas City and St. Louis.
The Current and Jacks Fork rivers from Eminence
Down in the Ozark hills around Eminence, the Current and Jacks Fork rivers carry the float week, with the rig parked at an outfitter's campground in town and every day spent on clear, cold water. The Eminence RV page has the campgrounds, including the nights inside the Riverways.
