"We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Ballard’s Campground! The park has clearly been beautifully restored and you can feel the care that went into every detail. The management is outstanding—friendly, professional, and always quick to communicate, which made our stay stress-free. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The location is perfect, offering both peace and accessibility. What started as a short visit quickly turned into a longer stay because we felt so welcome and at home here. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-run campground. Great job to the management team for bringing this park back to life—you’ve created something special here! 💯"

"We travel to MO from ND every 2yrs for the GBATS truck show. In the past we stayed at a different campground & while it was nice, we were there really only to sleep. That other campground was full this year & they referred me to Ballards & I’m so glad they did! This campground was more than a place to park our 5th wheel…it was an amazing experience! From the beautiful views, large drive thru site with a patio/ grill/firepit, peaceful walks to the doggie park, or a stroll to the pond to watch the fish….you will definitely fall in love with Ballards. We experienced a bit of car trouble one morning & needed a couple new batteries for our pickup. The RV park manager came to the rescue & drove to nearest NAPA for us; wanting absolutely nothing in return for his time & trouble. You could tell that managing the park was not just a job for him, he was very passionate about sharing his love for the campground & making sure our visit was his top priority. Whatever takes you to MO…you will want to stay at Ballards & you may find yourself not wanting to leave the campground:) Thanks so much for the hospitality & see you again in 2027 🛣️ Marie & family of 2nd Chance & Broken Road Trucking LLC"
