Riverfront Campground And Canoe

[drath]

Has anyone ever camped at Riverfront Campground and Canoe, just across the river from BSSP? I’m heading down this weekend to camp and thought I might try someplace outside the park this time. I know some of the canoe outfitter campsites can get pretty rowdy (a big ol’ party is not what I’m looking for this weekend). I was wondering if this place is a total party atmosphere or if it’s laid back and the sites are spread out. I don’t need anything fancy. Just a primitive site to pitch a tent (heck I my just sleep in the truck) and build a campfire to grill a steak and maybe fry some fish.

I guess Fort Niangua is another option.

Thanks for your input.

I haven't camped there in a couple of years, but it was fine then. It is somewhat primitive and it has a lot of river front.

I think River Front would be better than Fort Niangua,I like Adventures even though it isn't on the river.

It has been a couple of years since I camped at Riverfront, but it is definitely NOT a party scene. Jack Glendenning owns the place and they run a family oriented campground. They have staff on site during the evening and if you get too wild they will give you one chance to setle down or they will ask (then make) you leave. Riverfront has about 1/2 mile of river frontage and there is some decent brown trout fishing, but when the canoe hatch comes through the fishing shuts down for quite a while.
