Ray Behrens Campground and Rec Area has a lovely campground with three loops on the southeast shore of Mark Twain Lake near Perry, Missouri. This is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) campground and the tollbooth has limited hours for check-in but gates are not locked so you can setup on your reserved site and check in later. We stayed in the Little Blue Stem loop, Site 62, FHU. This site was fairly level, only needed 2 Lego blocks under the rear tires, but be sure and check the site description before booking because we saw some severe slopes in some of the other loops. All sites were paved and the picnic table area has the larger gravel which was great so we didnt carry it into the RV every time we entered. The bathhouse was new and really nice with six individual rooms instead of stalls. The roads were very well maintained so we took long walks or rode our e-bikes everywhere! There were not any real trails just a short path between LBLS and Deer Run and some steep trails down to the lake from a few campsites.The M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center is nearby and has great informational displays of the area and dam construction. We also took a 20 min drive to Florida, MO to see the Mark Twain Memorial Shrine where the house he was born in has been surrounded by a beautiful building and contains many original items from his life and various homes. Great 20-minute video about his life is available to watch. There is also a large eagles nest on the property which was amazing.This lake is very conveniently located about half way between Kansas City and St. Louis and has several other campgrounds that were of the same caliber. Frank Russell Rec Area is undergoing remodeling and has a nice Equestrian camp and brand new 50 amp pads. Highly recommend this Lake and any of the campgrounds for a quiet get away or an overnight stay on the way to somewhere else.

Very clean. Campsites are very nice with plenty of space and privacy.

Great asphalt drive with FHU and very clean. Bathhouse had private showers which is pretty rare. Nice quiet park. Also, Mark Twain state park is a great place to visit. We also visited Frank Russell park which had a nice walking trail and the sites were large with concrete drives.

The campground and our campsite were good. When we arrived at 6pm there was no one at the check in station. The next day no one was at the check in station at 1pm when we drove by to launch our boat. When we returned to our vehicle parked at the campground boat launch around 4:30 we found a warning letter telling us that our license plate number was being added to a list due to us not displaying a launch pass. Once added to the list the letter states that we will be severely fined if we use the launch again without displaying a pass. We understood that if we were camping at the park that we were not required to pay to launch. We called the phone number on the letter and left a message explaining that we were unable to display our camping id because no one had been present at the check in station and asked for a call back to acknowledge that we would be removed from the list. No one has ever called back. Future campers/boaters should be aware of this problem that is seemingly on going and the Corp of Engineers should better prepare their guests to know what to do in this situation.

Wifi was a joke. Paid for one day and it was useless. Also got charged a foreign transaction fee. What’s up with that?

The campsites at Ray Behrens were all asphalt drives of varying lengths. It was very clean and attractive. The trails were nice and maintained. Will definitely camp here again.
