For Hidden Valley Outfitters: Nice newer, family owned campground. Pads are very level. FHU, we used 50a. Good water pressure and nice tight lidded sewer. Carts allowed. Campground along Niangua river, about 1/4mi from Bennett Spring confluence. Nice cold (62°)spring water to sit/play in. Good fishing, great for kids as most of river is knee deep at most. Short walk back to site. Great on site store with all essentials. Quiet time was at 11. Family friendly, but holiday weekends can get a little “party” feel. Felt welcome to walk/converse with neighbors, but remained undisturbed at our site. Security sentry on holiday weekends. Very nice area. Trees have not grown in campsite yet, but beautiful dark skies, lots of stars. Cheap firewood on site. This place is a win. Can have visitors for about $5 to join you in waterside relaxation. Bring your 10x10 and a chair that can sit in the river. Wagon cart or golf cart recommended just like a beach day. Very friendly staff.

For Hidden Valley Outfitters: This place is absolutely crooked. They charge you $5 just to come on the property to visit someone who has already paid to be there. Do Not recommend.

For Hidden Valley Outfitters: Great place, FHU, level concrete pads. Rock beach to swim from right on the Niangua River. Not much shade as it is a new campground. Gas/electric golf cart friendly.

For Hidden Valley Outfitters: First, you pass many "mom and pop" style campgrounds on the highway here; do not despair, this is a very nice campground! They are building a new office so the temporary office is a bit of a mess, the new one will also be nice! Campgrounds here are 50A FHU concrete pads and patios with little shade (trees are still very young) with a big playground and nice clean shower house. The Niangua River runs along this campground, they also outfit you for float trips or fishing at the office. Further down the road is a chapel, primitive and 30A only sites in a second campground.
The grounds are well cared for and the river is very clean. Bennett Springs SP is just west of this campground and they release hundreds of trout every day during the fishing season. The area off the gravel bar at the campground has many trout for the fishermen in your crowd. That same gravel bar is a wonderful place to sit in your chair and R-E-L-A-X.
We will definitely return here. Site #38 is the first site across from the river and coveted by all!
