Best Time to Camp at Raccoon Ridge Campground

Raccoon Ridge truly shines from late spring through fall, when warm weather brings the lake to life with boaters, anglers, and swimmers. Full amenities including water hookups, hot showers, and dump stations are available April 1 through October 31, making summer camping comfortable and convenient. The campground remains open during the quieter winter months (November 1 through March 31) for hardy campers who don't mind reduced services, offering a more secluded experience as fall colors fade into winter's peaceful stillness.

About Raccoon Ridge Campground

Nestled on a scenic lakeside peninsula, Raccoon Ridge Campground offers the perfect blend of water recreation and woodland escape. Wake up surrounded by towering oak trees, then spend your days exploring trails that wind through dramatic bluffs or casting a line into Truman Lake's crystal-clear waters. Whether you're launching your boat from the nearby marina or simply soaking in the peaceful forest setting, this Harry S Truman State Park gem delivers an authentic Missouri outdoor experience.
Park-level camping supports a range of options from tent camping to large RVs (park text references tents and trailers up to 80 feet); user reports indicate both tent and RV sites at Raccoon Ridge.
