I'm filling this out because I feel a need to answer a previous review on this park. We stayed at Eagle Ridge in early January after the heaviest snowfall in Missouri in 25 years. We called ahead and the owners were very clear on the fact that we wouldn't have water and the bathrooms were not running. When we arrived he was very helpful on getting us checked in and parked. Though there was 2 to 4 foot drifts all around us we felt lucky to have a place to stop for the night instead of a motel. With that weather the $22 was very much worth it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed overnight. Met our needs of finding a place to plug into electricity for the night. Site had been plowed out (snow still on the ground), but it could have been plowed wider so you could walk from vehicle to 5th wheel without walking in snow bank. Price did not reflect limited services. There was no water and no usable toilets or showers. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They told us there was no water when we called. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As of October 2009, this campground is under new management, and the couple who now own it are as friendly and accommodating as you could want. We mentioned that branches on a tree near the office needed to be trimmed as they rubbed on the side of the coach, and a few minutes later he was out there trimming the tree. Our site was level and everything worked as promised. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We almost did not come to this park because of previous reviews. We are so glad we did. The new owners where very helpful and nice. In the two weeks they had owned it, they had already done a lot to clean it up. We enjoy the open fields and pond at the back of the campground. The park was very clean. They plan to have the Wi-Fi hooked up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Give this campground a second chance as there are new owners coming on board in October They plan to remodel the bathrooms, level the sites and expand the store. This park is known for its beautiful sunsets. The new owners are enthusiastic and very friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We arrived 'early Season' in March and they said the water was a pump by the Showers that my husband hauled by buckets, they stated cable & Wi-Fi. We didn't have either and nobody was around and didn't ever show up. You register yourself and drop in a metal tube, had we known we probably wouldn't not have paid the fee for only electric. One night only in passing and don't know if I'd stay again. It appears to be an old Park and could use a little TLC. And it would have been nice to have posted phone number or pager to call for questions when you arrive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
