My timing was bad for camping here.

My experience at Riverbend was not a very pleasant one. Bad timing on my part mostly. It's fairly close to HaHa Tonka State Park which was amazing and that day was a warm sunny day, otherwise early April was bad planning. My dog and I were the only ones in the campground which made it a little scary. Never saw another person the whole time. The water faucet on my reserved site was busted and sprayed the whole time I was there. Couldn't use it but I was able to fill my holding take instead. I came in from the east off D Hwy. No matter which way you come in you're going to be on gravel for a while. The campground is up a very steep hill although it was well graded and in good condition. Needed four-wheel drive and low gear pulling my camper up. Coming in from the west is also part gravel which is not a problem although you will go through two water fords and cross the narrow, no railings Whistle bridge over the Niangua River. I preferred the way I came in from the east. Had four days reserved and ended up forfeiting the last day due to storms moving in. Spent part of my last full day in my truck for safety during the storm and wind on that hill. I did walk down to the river the first day. It's a very steep, rocky walk and not real close to the campground. Being early April It was in bad shape with downed trees blocking the river and a washed out bank. Again, later in the year I'm sure it's quite a different experience. The timing of my trip was bad.

Awesome place! I am very satisfied with my stay, I was fortunate to book on a slow weekend so I enjoyed a lovely weekend on a peaceful hilltop. Me and my family visited the Ha Ha Tonka State Park, which was a convenient distance. Fire ring, shower, and bathroom were all up to standard.

First trip to Missouri.
Entrance was very easy to find and loved the lighting at the entrance. Also the restroom/shower was very clean and much appreciated. Steven was on hand to greet us and had delivered some firewood to our site prior to our arrival. Couple notes, numbered markers would have been very helpful. Especially when arriving in the dark after a 9 hour drive. Not really any plat spots near our site to pitch a tent. Overall experience was pretty good. And I will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

It was a good place to stay! I loved how close it was to Ha Ha Tonka and how quiet the area was. I saw several deer and could hear geese and coyotes. The shower/bathroom was clean and a hot shower was perfect after a long day. The only downsides are that some of the spots are not level, the trail to the river is short but pretty steep with loose rocks, and if they were busy the rv spots would be a little close together for my taste. Otherwise great place, I’d definitely stay again!

The drive in was dark so when I woke up, I was pleasantly surprised by how pretty the land was. Steven met us at the entrance and showed us the spot, made sure we were comfortable, gave a little backstory of the campground. Thank you Steven!
