    Rented 1 Canoe & 1 Kayak. The facilities and staff are so nice! A little more $ than other nearby outfitters, BUT MUCH NICER restrooms, boats & campgrounds. Can't wait to come back to camp!

    Kayaking down James River

    We floated in July 2012 and had a great fun. We used our phone navigator to find this place from Branson, MO, which took us around some winding but pretty streets. We rented a canoe for $35 for two adults and a dog. They also had kayak and tubes for renting. The check-in place is really small but people there were really friendly. They sell river essentials like sun block and water shoes and the prices seemed reasonable. We brought a cooler with drinks and sandwich. I did not see many places to shop around so I would def recommend packing your own food/drinks. The river itself is real pretty but was quite low (which we knew before going). There were some places we had to push the canoe. It may be a little difficult to maneuver if you have never canoed before. Water was pleasantly cold/warm. They had life vests we could borrow for free but we didn't need them, as the deepest the water got was about 4-5 ft. There were no rapid currents, which worked well for our puppy. There were only a few other families when we went and people were very friendly. Very quiet and no crazy parties going on, which was nice. Overall, we had a good time and if we lived around here, may come back a few times a summer.

    We had a great experience! There were several float trips to choose from, so their estimates of how long each would take for how fast the river was flowing helped a lot in picking which one.

    Friends of ours rented the cabin (not in the campground), then joined us for a float trip one day.

We stayed in campsite 47 literally had one neighbor two campsites away. I liked that we were in the woods and no one else was in the area. But no frills dirty algae pool. Firewood $10. a bundle or 3 bundles for $30. A-lot of Bees will sting the shit out of you and uneven parking for your camper. The picnic table had nails sticking out and one got me under my fingernail. Bring a lot of leveling blocks. Roads are in disrepair you probably won't go over the speed limit of 5mph that how bad they are. Other than that I would stay again off season!

Tall Pines employees and campers alike are allowed to speed through the park, nearly running people over in the process, but will complain about your children in a heartbeat for playing outside at all. Despite the posted 5mph signs throughout the park, as well as signs we ourselves have provided, they do nothing to ensure safety; no one is at the park to run the office, or provide essential or necessary maintenance. They only come to the park when there is a complaint about children, or the cops have been called. Laura, who lives and works on the grounds, drives through the campground in her black Nissan Titan like she is a Nascar driver, and has almost hit kids and adults doing so. No one tells her to slow down, just to keep the kids out of the way or leave the park if you can't keep the kids under control. As far as pricing goes, Christina will offer a fair price to start, then recant on her decision despite proof of receipt, or how far in advance you pay on said quoted price. While the campground itself is a beautiful place to be, the owners are very lazy. They put more effort into their (Best Western) hotel, where you're more likely to find the staff working and avoiding campground calls, than you are to get anyone's attention inside the office, or to actually run the park. We were treated very poorly by the staff during our short stay here, despite our best efforts to try to work with them to make this a safe place for all. They were unwilling to take any sort of accountability, or give any corrective action to those who were more willing to remain uncooperative. Do not plan on making this a full time home for you and your family. It will only come down to Christina being at your residence for unjustified complaints that they can't prove one way or the other who is at fault. I would leave 0 stars if I could. This place is an absolute joke.

Nice swings and kids play area. 3.5 star update, because the WI-FI is spotty and only works intermittently.

They are putting in a lot of effort to improve the park. The family that runs it is very nice and helpful. It's located right across from the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. We walked over one afternoon and took the tour of her home and walked through the museum. Neat place. The RV park is very grassy with gravel. Our site was pretty level and had lots of shade. Not all sites have full hookups so be sure to ask when you reserve. Some are just W/E. There is a creek that runs along the property that is cool and beautiful. Fun to splash in. Lots of trees on the property. There is also a small pond, a natural cave to explore, and plenty of areas to walk your dog if needed. A bathhouse next to the office has two restrooms, two showers, and laundry. We used the showers twice. They were small, but clean. The bathhouse is not air conditioned or heated so summer showers can be a bit hot and muggy and I imagine winter showers quite chilly. THE WIFI IS AWESOME! I could not believe such a small RV park had such great wifi. Thank you, Riddick family! The small town of Mansfield is just down the road. We enjoyed the local icecream shop as well as the pizza and pasta restaraunt. Overall, this is a great RV park. We will definitely stay again if we're ever in the area again.

The fire pit with grate was newer and the picnic tables were in great shape. The bathrooms were kept clean, as well. We stayed this weekend and loved it so much that we will book the same spot again in the fall.(We had stayed last year at the nearby State Park and our site was not nearly as roomy or surrounded with trees like this one.)

There are many spots and some have electric while others have both electric and water. The spots are for varying size trailers/RVs or tent camping. They're spaced nicely so you have a little privacy. It's absolutely beautifully. I felt like I was in a rainforest. Although we had some on and off rain... the campground is very much in nature, green, lots of trees and waking up to birds chirping was lovely! I will say, there were some disrespectful neighbors camping, which can be expected, that stayed up until 3 am partying, loud music, drinking, etc. I think the park host paid them a visit and it was much quieter after 10pm. The bathrooms are also available with private toilet and shower combos. I will say... they were quite disgusting. Constantly wet and humid inside from the showers, visible mold on the walls and ceiling and rust and corrosion at the base of the doors. I had brought my own portable potty and small shower tent, but was informed that was against campground policy and told to take it down. Other than that, it was great. Has a playground, nice walking, beach, and close to some markets and restaurants.
