In my last post, I purposefully left out the name of the campground that we stayed at because I wanted to dedicate a stand-alone post to our host. We stayed at Roaring River Hills Campground & Cabins in Cassville, Missouri. In the past, I have either stayed at the lodge or the campground inside of the park. Since Mason wanted to camp and the campground in the park was full, I had to venture outside of my comfort zone and stay somewhere new to me.
I started with a simple internet search using Google and found a few places that offered tent camping. When I ran across the Roaring River Hills Campground & Cabins website, I was impressed by the site itself, the pictures of the campground, and the story about the owner. Sites were still available at the last minute during a holiday weekend which I was extremely grateful for. I also figured that if it wasn't a nice place that we could handle just about anything for one night.
To say that I was incredibly impressed with the entire experience would be an understatement. The owner was a genuine and polite fella. The office and store on the property were clean and well maintained. The campground was quiet and peaceful. It was obvious that attention had been paid to details and I was thrilled with my choice.
What impressed me more than anything (and this might seem silly, but hear me out) was the shower house. I have been in some shower houses in the past that were...less than desirable. So when it came time for Cody to use the little boys' room, I walked him to the shower house and wanted to inspect it out of curiosity. To say that I was blown away by the cleanliness, fixtures, and overall appearance would be a gross understatement. This was literally the nicest shower house that I had ever seen. In some ways, it was nicer than my master bathroom that I have at home and I don't consider my home to be a dump of any sorts.
In conclusion, Roaring River Hills Campground and Cabins has my full endorsement. If you're looking for a tent site, an RV site, or a glamping experience, I honestly think that you will appreciate this place. Please note that I did not and am not receiving any compensation of any sort for this post. I simply like to support small businesses, especially Missouri-based businesses, that are of high quality. I will be returning to Roaring River Hills again and if you ever find yourself needing a camping spot around Cassville, Missouri, please at least give them an opportunity to earn your business.
