Twin Rivers Landing, Lesterville MO

Great family place! Been going since I was a kid and now I bring my own family. The owners have worked hard to bring this place back to life and the improvements like the new playground and entry road are very nice. The private beach is easily accessible and you can't beat the Black River for swimming in the summer! I've stayed in the cabins and they are clean and well kept. The tent sites are big.you can usually get several tents and have room to spread out. Bath houses have hot showers.always a plus in my book, lol! Highly recommended for family reunions.
Updated for 2023: still my favorite place! The Lodge at TRL is amazing, highly recommended. I go at least once every month in the summer.

Family camping location love going here electric sites and cabins and a lodge for big groups

We didn't stay but we went floating. So much fun. Parking for non campers & they pick you up & bus you back afterward. Approximately a 5hr float. You'll want to bring a cooler with food- make sure to bring a trash bag & buy the cooler a float or rent another one!

We stayed in one of the cabins (112) which we had stayed in 25 years ago with our small children. What a disappointment! There were cheerios and pretzels and candy wrappers all over the floor. The window was broken and had duck tape on one side only! Get rid of the mini frig…. It takes up too much room! The floor was filthy! Properly hasn’t been mopped in 25 years! We had reservations for two nights and packed up and went home after one night.

We did float and that was nice! They advertise a 5 mile float which I know it wasn’t because the take out used to be past park bluff take out!

Unfortunately we will not be back!

Update: Thank you for responding to my post…. That means you do care. We did tell the young girl at the front desk about the problems and she didn’t really care. That was why we decided to leave. I would suggest to have someone check the cabins between guests then some of these issues would be taken care of before the next guest comes…especially sweeping and mopping the floor.

As far as your take out of your rafts/canoes are concerned you may be right but I do remember 4 years ago going by Wilderness Lodge and we didn’t this time. Still the float was fun.

I will recommend your float to others! Thank you!

The woman who owns this place is extremely rude! However, her employees are very friendly (sorry, you guys have to deal with her). There were multiple dealings with her over the weekend. First and foremost, we paid for our float in full and she tried saying we still owed money. Secondly, she rudely yelled at our group to sign the clipboard after we had already signed it and were patiently waiting for our rafts. Third, she will talk right in your face with her bullhorn and make you go deaf! This was our first time at this resort and because of her we do not want to go back. Our age group was 40-45 so its not like we were being inconsiderate kids. I do not plan on going back due to the owner’s rudeness. If she hates her job so much, maybe she should have someone else run it. Her behavior is completely unnecessary.

The lady at the front desk when we checked in was the rudest person I have ever met. We had to change our date from early July to this past weekend and we knew the possibility would be that we wouldn’t get the same raft or even campsite. When I made the switch the young lady told me we would have a 103.00 credit in the store because we paid for a 6 man raft and had to settle for a canoe instead. When checking in the lady at the front informed me that they don’t do refunds or credits. Which is totally different from what I was told on the phone. So they stole 105.00 dollars from us. I didn’t ask for a refund just make good on the additional amount we were charged. We didn’t cancel a reservation, we rescheduled, so a refund of some sort should have been issued. I plan on persuing this matter much further. This place is definitely not family friendly as far as the way it is run. I am extremely disappointed in this place.

We were only there for the float trip facilities. I cannot comment on anything else. The float trip was excellent although a couple of our canoes were a little leaky. Not the end of the world considering you're getting in and out of the water anyway.

This place is a joke. I recently went camping there for the first time. When i checked in they were nice. We had a good float, got 2 kiyaks.but on saturday evening, I got a charge for 684 dollars. Obviously there was a mistake. So then the next morning I went to the office, and asked this lady what this charge was for. She was EXTREMELY rude about it, and said she didn’t see that charge anywere on their side. She also had the audacity to tell me, this same things happened last week to a guy! He got charged too. And it cleared up the next week. She was very snappy and just disrespectful. And didn’t help AT ALL. So a week past, Called the bank. And the charge was disputed. But now 2 weeks later, woke up this morning, and I was charged ANOTHER 684 DOLLARS. At this point i feel as if it’s not a glitch and they’re doing it on purpose. I now am less than 684 dollars for 10 days until it gets disputed by the bank, and i have a family to feed, etc. This can cause a very big hit on families. And this is NOT ok if their system glitches often, and does this to families.

And the bathrooms are discusting, and there was hair balls everywere. Maybe you should put real doors instead of curtains. I didn’t even take a shower in your guys shower because they were discusting, and i felt very uncomfortable. There were little kids running in and out.

I would of given a 0 if I could. I had to cancel my float trip and tried to reschedule and the owner was so rude. I lost the money I put down because I could reschedule by the end of her season. I will never book with them again because of how rude the owner was.

We have been camping here for a few years now, and it's our spot. Clean great campsite.

We have been coming here for over 15 years. Great family campground. Perfect beach access.

Campsites are shaded and nice. Electrical is high up on pole, but understandable due to high water. Float was nice and easy. Road in is very rocky and not smooth.

44 years and going strong for our family! Have camped on the same site since 1982. Dave and Chris are AMAZING owners and even better people! Campground is clean and quiet after hours. Lots of activities and floating choices. Close to amenities in Lesterville or even backtracking to Ironton.

Pricey for a short float. Won't let you on the water until 10: 30, want you off by 4: 30.

Five stars because the lady at the office was very helpful & I know I can be a bit over the top but she was to the point and I appreciated her, the facilities are always nice and the primitive spots are spacious & the float is organized and perfect. Thanks again for everything!

Love the camping spots for tents and campers. They are all good size. Dave Chris are the owners they are wonderful folks. They have security guard teddy that does his job and does it well. Very friendly folks kid friendly.clean bathroom beach area and grounds area. They have church it wasn’t that good they could do some kind of activity on Saturday evening for family’s but it’s camping.
