"Visitors commonly praise Lake of the Ozarks State Park for its scenic lake views, well-maintained campgrounds and clean shower/restroom facilities. Reviewers highlight abundant wildlife (especially deer), quiet lakeside sections and good access to trails and Public Beach 1. Reports on utilities and conditions are mixed: many sites have electric hookups and central water/dump facilities, but water hookups at individual sites are generally absent and cell/internet service is variable."

Best Time to Camp at Section 4 (Sites 98-120, 128-133 And 159-182)

The season runs April 1st through October 31st, giving you everything from warm summer lake days to crisp autumn mornings perfect for coffee by the fire. July and August bring prime swimming weather and those long, lazy evenings where nobody wants to leave the campfire. But locals will tell you the secret: September and October offer the sweet spot—fewer crowds, comfortable temperatures for hiking, and that unforgettable fall color show painting the forest in every shade of amber and crimson.
