Very peaceful and quiet stay. Due to the slope I had to lower the front of my 30 trailer all the way to the ground to the point it was bottomed out to find level (was still just shy but close enough), and also had to add 4 of blocks under the passenger side wheels. Thankfully I had 2 spare stabilizer buckets I could put under the feet of my steps to the rear door of my camper, or they would have been a foot shy of touching the ground even with the legs fully extended. Made climbing in and out a challenge otherwise it was a great stay. Virtually no signal here for AT&T.

Very nice place. Campsites are great since the update. Love the full hookup.

Really an incredible place. Quiet, clean, convenient, and beautiful.

We were in site 29. Nice shaded spot. Not a fan of the fire pits, theyre recessed down into the concrete pads. We had a huge fairly flat slab to park our class A RV on, but the ramp the driveway pretty steep.

The campsites were awesome, we enjoyed our stay overall. The only problem i can complain about is that it was almost 2 days into our week long stay before we were officially checked in, and we had to inquire about who to see and where to go, and that with our camp site reservation, came continued access to the boat launch area we had paid the $5 dollar day use fee, and when my wife went to the main building to officially check us in, they commented that they were short staffed, and didn't know that the volunteer camp host had left. Im sorry, but lack of planning on your part shouldn't constitute an added fee on my part. This situation says to me that the people the ac needs to get out and actually do what they are getting paid for.

The site we had was very steep and had a very hard time getting camper level from front to back. It was site circle 29 and the front tung of camper was on the ground and the back was so high had to have latter to get stuff off back of rack. I guess it was my fault for not looking closer when I booked it. But the picture didnt show the slope. Other than that it was really a nice place to stay. The people that checked us in were great. The couple we were with had the same trouble. Maybe dont let campers as long as ours book those sites.

@WayneS8853640 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #26
My stay was great, i tried camp site 26 ,a little more work to set up level all that. nice site i like this campground.
@LisaW1374326 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #21
The campground was very clean and quiet. I was in site 21. It was very difficult to level due to the fact that its slanted downhill. I will stop again.
@jefft6301969 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #45
We always enjoy camping at Frank Russell!!
@JenniferT29195 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #42
Very spacious sites. Easy to get to and its close to Spalding beach if you want to get in the water.
@JeffP3506157 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #48
Campground has been updated recently and looks great. We stayed 2 different nights about 12 days apart for our pit-stop to Branson. First site was steep and not level #34 for our 44' class A. had a hard time getting it to level up Second site was wonderful and liked it allot believe it was #48 Would definitely go again,staff was also wonderful to work with.
@PeggyO3017744 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #10
Level areas.
@CherylC6330808 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #61
Trailer parking excellent. Stalls for horses were the best. So much room for us and them
@stephenzDD0C1E · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #38
very nice after rebuilding. We had a great time.
@AllenH9471936 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #42
Love Russell Campground! We come here as often as we can. Everything very clean & well taken care of.
@LorraineG5E9E9 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #60
Nice campground with full hookups, unusual for a CoE. It even had cement pads. But the site we were in (60) was very unlevel. I don't expect to put multiple pieces of wood under the motorhome tires on a cement pad. It was a significant slope from the passenger's side to the driver's side. But it was a helpful slope when it rained.
@richarda847269 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #22
We really enjoy this state park, and appreciate that Frank Russell campground has full hookups. We know that were in the heart of nature, but really hated seeing so many ticks around our campsite.
@HansleyM38CA7F · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #48
Great campsites, warm showers, peaceful evenings.
@HansleyM38CA7F · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #58
Very nice campsite.

The campground/campsite upgrades are wonderful! It was our first visit to Frank Russell and we hope to return. I would prefer on the double drive sites that the parking stop not be so close to the patio area as it is a "trip hazard", and not everyone brings a boat/trailer. We experienced a slide issue with our 5th wheel on the day we were scheduled to leave which prevented our departure. The Park Ranger was very kind in helping us with the scheduled arrival of the new guests for that site.I would also like to see trash containers near the shower/bath house.One other suggestion, the park would greatly benefit from camp hosts. When we had the issues with our 5th wheel, a camp host could have answered many questions I had and provided contacts that were helpful.

Clean, inexpensive sights, clean restrooms, nice trails, and plenty of kayaking opportunities.
@CarrieH9011980 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #41
One of our favorite camp grounds In Mo .

We had a great stay other than the grass was really tall around the campsite.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
