Castor River Ranch Campground offers a peaceful, private river-front camping experience in a natural setting yet has immediate access to state highway DD. All of our RV/Campsites are very spacious and are furnished with picnic tables, stone fire pits, septic, electric (30 - 50-110 amp) and spring- water.

We offer canoe/ kayak/tube out fitting and a shuttle service for float trips. The Castor River offers some of the best small mouth bass fishing found anywhere. In addition to river activities, we have 140 acres of hiking trails that contain a piece of the old Missouri Pacific Railroad bed and a tunnel dating back to the 1800's.

NO ELECTRIC or WATER at tent site like indicateded on website. Only one shower and toilet at "bathhouse". Water quit working 5 minutes into shower and wouldn't come back on. Not even in sink. Not worth the $40 a night per tent that we paid! Also no trash SERVICE. No shade at tent sites! Shuttle fee of $30 for them to take you 2 miles up the road and drop you off to float. Not included in the $40 per kayak fee. WON'T BE BACK! Only got the one star for the fun we had on the river!!

Owners claimed no reservation was made even though I listened to the phone call of the reservation being made. Drove 2 hours to camp one night. Didn't get to float. Owners shouldn't accommodate even though it was their mess up.

Extremely nice folks that own the camp ground. Absolutely the cleanest restrooms / shower houses I've ever seen.

After reading it was $30 a night.., we decided to head here for the night from STL. Upon arrival we were informed that it is cash only..so had to run to an atm in town to get cash. Then were informed that they charge 25$ per car at the campsite which is ridiculous. One night with 3 people was $50. If we would have each drove separately it would have been $75??? they should state this on their website. I've never been charged camping PER car, just by the site. Tried to call and email before and no answer or returned email. Will be staying across the street next time.

Really great campground if you're wanting to get away from it all. Electric, water, sewage, picnic table and fire pit on each site. Does have tent area with picnic table that has roof over them. Nice place to camp
