The Meadow Campground & Coffee House

We spent 4 days at this wonderful little spot in their primitive tent sites right along salt river. Great atmosphere and staff. Small shower house but well kept with clean towels available. Although it is right off the interstate so prepare for some traffic noise but otherwise quiet and relaxing area. Great shade cover in the cabins and primitive sites. Delicious coffee and wish we lived closer just to stop by for that in the morning! It is pet friendly and our dog was comfortable quickly. They have a few very sweet and friendly cats along with some beautiful domestic bunnies that stay on the property as well. I wish there was more hiking nearby but that's not their fault and we will probably plan on kayaking or canoeing during our next visit. Only real critique would be that the outhouses need serviced a little more frequently but the shower house is never that far of a walk.

Great little treasure of a campground. Easy in and out, coffee house serves breakfast on site, clean bathrooms. Friendly folks staff and other campers. Bunnies and kitty cats are in the campground. Kitties are sweet and friendly. Love the details of the rocks with sandblasted drawings and sayings.Restrooms: Very clean with towels if you need onDog-friendliness: Allow dogs and some owners do allow their dogs to bark for no reason. Some owners are amazing. There are no bad dogs just bad owners.

BEST campground in the area! We have stayed in campgrounds all over Missouri, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Kansas in our camper. The Meadow is by far our favorite! The coffee house has amazing coffee and specialty drinks. Always something to do here with their kayak trips and events. On a hot day we would love to cool off in the river, and so did our dogs. Highly recommend!

We've been staying at the Meadows for a few weeks now. We couldn't ask for anything better! The showers are clean and hot! Our site was level. The management is on top of any need that might come up. The cozy little coffee house at the entrance is open Thursday through Sunday with cute items for sale. The girls working the front desk were awesome and make the best ice coffees and lattes. The park is located on the banks of the Salt River and offer kayak trips when it's warm. They even have cabin rentals for those who don't choose to RV.

We stayed in spot 23. The campsites are all well maintained, water and electricity were ample for our 34ft Tiffin. The pump out service helped with grey water on our 3rd day.We went kayaking on Saturday afternoon float. Started out a blazing 90 degrees for half our float and ended up with a down pour with lightning the last half. A small flood in the road that ran off and evaporated quick.... Still a great day and better than work or sitting in the RV.The cabins look adequately furnished and come with a quaint outhouses.Overall a very good campground with good amenities.

Beautiful spot, clean, and a breath of fresh air.We arrived after hours and enjoyed the peace and quiet.This place was a 5/5 until all the cats came over to our site.I am allergic to cats and they kept trying to get onto the picnic table as we were eating dinner and tried to get into our camper.If it weren't for the cats, we would stay here again.Loved the area.Did NOT like cats climbing all over our things as I am allergic to them.

Rented cabins 1 and 6 for an extended family kayaking weekend. Unfortunately it poured on Friday night and continued rain on Saturday caused our float to be cancelled. We made the best of it and visited Mark Twain cave instead. Cabins were nice with water cooler (hot and cold), microwave and dorm fridge. Provided linens were clean, nice and very much appreciated. Even the shower house had towels provided. Wow! We really enjoyed hanging out on the rock patio. Mom's first time camping and she was wary of the outhouses but decided they weren't so bad after all. AC couldn't quite keep up with the 100 degree heat but did fine once temps dropped to 85. Kids absolutely loved the coffeehouse. Everyone agreed it was a great atmosphere and we want do it again next year.

We stayed there for the first time this weekend. It’s a very nice & well kept campground. The owners & workers are all very nice. They even sprayed around the tree line for bugs & gnats. It made sitting outside so nice. We didn’t get all ate up by mosquitoes either. They had a fish fry & live music too. The coffee house is beautiful. They really know how to make my iced coffee. We will be back for sure. We were going to cancel our reservations at another campground for the 4th of July and come here but they are already full & have a waiting list. We’re excited that we got a spot there for Labor Day. Thank you for the great weekend folks! We’ll be seeing you soon 😃

Nice little campground outside of Hannibal. Easy in/out of the pull-through sites. There is some road noise up front near the highway, but toward the back of the park it's much quieter. I would also check on the advisable length for some of the back-in sites as one row of sites seemed much shorter than the others. Shower house was very nice and even provided travel soaps and towels!The Coffeehouse is really great. All the drinks were awesome and service was pretty quick for how busy the drive thru was. Their Spring Market got rained out, but there seemed to be a lot of other events on the calendar throughout the summer. Our neighbors were so nice and their grandson played with our kids for two days straight! Will definitely be back as it's only about an hour from home.

We stayed two nights in a tent. The tent spots are fantastic … they’re in shaded areas right on the river. The campground is very clean and well kept up, if I had a complaint it would be the highway, you hear a lot of traffic on it. But I give this an easy 5 star rating!!!

I would give this place 5/5 stars! When we first arrived lovely lady at the front checked us in quick & easy. (Unfortunately I got the wrong key but got the right one within 5 minutes) noticed the water container was low and another wonderful lady brought us a new one again within 5 minutes! Cabin was clean and beautiful! Facing the Salt River! RV/Campground was very nice! Grass kept short saw tons of bunnies! Had a few things to do around the camp grounds. (Volleyball, Tetherball, horseshoes, a couple swings) they have a couple cabins/tent set up areas and of course areas for RVs. The shower house was very clean! They had towels/wash clothes in there for you to use which was great! The shower house (upfront) did have normal toilets. But they did have a couple our houses. We preferred walking to the shower house everytime! Unfortunately when my husband tried shutting & locking our cabin door the handle fell off but again they were right there to fix it and good to do! Most definitely be going back there again in the near future! Friendly place!We did do the 5.5 mile kayak trip! Easy as could be. Checked in they took us in a bus dropped us off and ended back at the camp site. Most definitely recommend that as well! Took a good 5 hours with stopping a few times as we had (9,15,16 year old) kayaks were up to par cleaned and provided life jackets.The coffee house was amazing too! They did close around 7pm while we were there daughter wanted Ice-cream after dinner bur we ate too late! Very clean inside. I did manage to get a hot coco on the way out which was very delicious/delightful. Again the lady there this morning nice!Of course this isn't on the campgrounds but had some rude renters :P for example. *Dogs are allowed and first night there had a guy with two dogs come around our cabin & let one dog poop about 5 feet from out picnic table "that we were sitting at eating dinner" and walked away without picking it up. Same person walked around the cabin to the other side and let the other dog pee right on the side of the cabin and then poop in the horseshoe pit again without cleaning it up ( the camp ground does provide poop bags!)* They have clearly marked Female/male shower houses. Saturday night husband went up to shower in the male shower house and walking up he saw a male/female walk into thr male shower house (so be it) walked in the shower house noticed both showers were used by the male & female. I walked into the female shower house and both showers were empty no one was in there. So the female popped her head out and then 45 minutes later he walked back after cooking dinner then the whole shower house door was locked! They locked the door! They were in there for about an hour and 20 minutes finally they came out husband went in there soap/mud/TP was everywhere they make a huge mess never cleaned up!* you may also come to the problem we had really only on the males side is people go in there to shower/use the bathroom and lock the whole shower room door where no one can go in and use the bathroom or shower until that person comes out. We had a 15 & 16 year told that used the shower house to use the bathroom and many times they went to pee and door was locked until another guy came out! The stalls did have doors that locked and the showers provided curtains that shut nit sure why they thought locking the whole door was acceptable!But of course the campground and cabins were amazing some of the people stayinf there were just rude :P which happens everywhere!Restrooms: They have a couple out houses fairly clean. Then they have male/female shower house with 2 bathrooms with working toilets in them.Dog-friendliness: They do allow dogs

Nice campground along the Salt River, catering to Kayakers. Nice showers for after your paddle. Very quiet during the week, tent campsites and cabins available. Get you reservations ahead of time, weekends are very busy in the summertime. Coffer house and snacks available, check the menu online.

Google maps will likely not take you to the entrance, but we followed the sign. Decent place, lots of kitties hanging out by the coffee house. Not open Sundays & Mondays, but we just checked ourselves in and paid when we left. Looks like they have community events here sometimes.Restrooms: Nice, clean, shower area too.

Oh my goodness it's a little rv park gem!!!Coffee and cats! Oh hell yeah! The rv part is clean and level spots and all that, but let me tell you about this coffee house with the kitties 😸 so awesome!! The coffee is high quality, they have the most wonderful coffee menu and the cats are so sweet and they totally entertain you while you enjoy the coffee. If you get a chance stop and stay here. If you like to kayak and float, this is the place for you. We only got to stay by accident and only 1 night. But I walked around the place and they're right on the river and they have everything you need to float or kayak.Any chance we get we will be staying here. Do not pass this place up!

Very nice place! We did the kayaking at 1:30pm and rented the 6 person cabin for after. Cabin was nice and cozy. Wish we would have had a chance to have a fire I'm the very nice fire pit they have by the cabin but we didn't get a chance to hopefully next time.. All people are friendly and helpful that we spoke to. We will definitely be back for another stay and kayaking.

The worst excuse for a campground I've been to. It should be called the Meadows trailer park because many, if not most, RVs are permanently parked there and there's virtually no space between them. I reserved a campsite based on what site was closest to a toilet, which turns out to be an outhouse. The campsite 23 that I reserved is so tiny it should never be rented. You almost back up your camper trailer against another RV that has been there for a long time. Furthermore, the so-called coffee house that really looks appealing on their website was closed when we arrived (not surprising since it was late in the afternoon) but not even open the next morning at 7:20am on Monday. Not sure how the coffee house will succeed if it's not serving coffee sooner than that.

Finally!! Tasty coffee drinks! And their cucumber bagel sandwich mmm hits that spot just right. Very cute and cozy comfortable inside, really feels like a place you could have a nice cup of coffee with a friend or even a more casual date. Super friendly and helpful staff....from the one staff I’ve met thus far.. 😁

Owners look down on certain (not rich) people, treat them like they are nothing. Will kick 'em when they are down (figure of speech). So make sure you have money & you dress rich or you'll be crapped on like you're garbage. They should remember, GOD does NOT like ugly

Pretty good tent camping! There are designated tent camping spots with a picnic table and a fire ring. It’s not really a tent campground but they make you feel welcomed.

I had to update my review of this place. They have done a good job updating this campground to a nice place to stay. Friendly people there. Will definitely be back! Full hook ups and back in to woods with lots of room between campers. Come check them out
