Wanda and Sandy were wonderful and the breakfasts she cooked were huge and delicious...from fresh fruit to farm fresh eggs, a pile of bacon, cinnamon rolls, muffins, toast...it was incredible. Highly recommend this B&B if you're ever in the St James area. And to top it off, my wife got to see her very first cardinal. We were sitting outside on their sun porch the first morning when Sandy's sister made us a wonder breakfast and my wife got to see about 5 cardinals coming to their bird feeder...It was just an all around pleasant stay.

We found Gasconade Hills Resort on the RVLife app. We pulled up at about 5:15 PM and called the phone listed. James showed up within a couple of minutes to check us in. We did not have prior reservations so we were able to drive around to pick a spot we preferred. We set up quickly and were able to enjoy the very clean, nice size pool. The bathrooms at the pool were also very clean. Afterwards, we decided to order pizza and although it was very close to closing time, James took our order and delivered to our camping site. WE LOVED IT HERE! Can't say enough good things about it. Wish we had time to do the river floats. We are already planning to come back and stay for a few days.

Very relaxing river, only had 1 dicey moment with some tree branches. Saw bald eagle nests, & a bald eagle fishing in the river right in front of us. Met great people on our trip, great convos.

0 stars if I could…read more TRAVELERS & TOURISTS, BEWARE - AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT. The lack of communication and respect is unacceptable. Before booking, read the reviews on Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor--you'll see we are not the first to experience this. Three weeks ago, my son-in-law called and spoke directly with Michele Broxton, the owner, regarding full-time opportunities while moving from California to Missouri. She was friendly and helpful, guaranteed him a spot when ready at a monthly rate of $595 or three months in advance at a discounted rate of $1,500, and then completely ghosted him. For the next two weeks, he tried calling, texting, and emailing repeatedly to confirm the deposit for placement. Meanwhile, trusting her guarantee and the availability of openings, he secured employment starting in March and arranged RV transport, paying over $2,500 for delivery to Ozark Farms on February 24, 2026. Being from Missouri and familiar with the area, I got involved because I know it's a great state to raise a family--but based on Ozark Farms' website, this experience was anything but welcoming. I called to check if there had been a communication error and found two additional numbers still routing to Michele Broxton. I called, texted, and emailed every single one, hoping someone would respond--no one ever did. Finally, after numerous attempts, someone answered at 5:30 PM California time / 7:30 PM Missouri time. I believe it was Michele Broxton. When I asked if this was Ozark Farms, the response was, "How can I help you?" I explained the urgency and asked if I was speaking with Michele Broxton--she refused to answer and stated she needed to speak only with the person signing the agreement. When I requested to merge the call with my son-in-law, she refused. Throughout the call, she acknowledged the urgency in a somewhat caring tone--but gave no apologies, no explanation, and would not confirm her identity. She stated she would review communications to "ensure nothing was lost in translation." It doesn't matter who I spoke with--this person is a representative of Ozark Farms and the face of the company to customers. Despite being polite and professional, the lack of respect and transparency was shocking. Only after persistent follow-ups did she finally contact my son-in-law--and not by phone or text, but via an email at 9:30 PM PST / 11:30 PM Missouri time, declining his reservation four hours after our call. We will never recommend or patronize Ozark Farms. They advertise as a "caring, family-run business," but offer zero communication or transparency. Relocating to a new state is a huge financial and personal commitment. Prospective tenants deserve honest communication, clarity, and follow-through--things Ozark Farms failed to provide.

Not Ideal for Tent Campers…read more My husband and I stopped here for one night while passing through town and were unfortunately disappointed with our stay. We tent camp, and the setup was not very tent-friendly. The sites were on a hill with inconvenient parking -- we had to haul our gear quite a distance to reach our spot. Our site did have water and electricity, which was a plus, but the overall layout made it difficult to enjoy. While the campground was generally well maintained and offered flush toilets, free showers, and a laundry facility, those amenities were not conveniently located near the tent camping area. Noise was also an issue: there's a train that runs nearby during the night, constant highway traffic, and chickens that crow loudly right next to the campsites. Check-in was confusing. No staff were onsite to assist, upon arrival no map or parking pass was provided, and signage was unclear. We received an email the day before with basic info, but the lack of clear directions made arrival frustrating. Overall, this campground may work better for RV travelers, but for tent campers, it felt disorganized and poorly designed. We wouldn't choose to stay here again.

Since we were the last ones there we were stuck on the pull out couch in the basement. I honestly can't complain though! It was very comfortable and I slept great! There are a ton of amenities on premise. Tons of fridge space (I think there were at least 3 refrigerators), a full kitchen with a double convection oven, a huge "mess hall" for feeding your crew, a hot tub for relaxing...the list goes on! There is also a boating dock area for access and swimming in the lake. You can also use the kayaks and canoes as you wish too. One thing I will say though. The owner of the property lives directly next to you. I'm talking same house just separated into two. Think like a massive duplex. We did see the owner and they never really got in our way but it did feel as though they were sort of watching us during the week we stayed. There is no cell service at all but there is WiFi (thank you AT&T WiFi calling!) so be prepared for that. Definitely would recommend if you have a huge event that would require housing a lot of people.
