Please note, This campground is located in a floodplain and weather related cancellations are common. If you are camping to be close to nearby attractions or don't mind a muddy, flooded river I can let you camp on higher ground. Not quite as private but still lots of room. Fish, Fish, Fish. This river is primed for fishing. You will have to bring your own boat, or float as I don't have good river bank fishing access. There is a state park boat ramp a short distance away. The steps in the photos are plenty sturdy to tie boats to overnight. This river is fishable with flat bottom jet drive boats most of the spring and early summer and floatable year round. You can float to your campsite and relax instead of waiting in line at the boat ramp. Also we are located about 13 miles from Crane Creek, A blue ribbon trout park. You can camp here and fish there.

Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

3 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Reeds, MO

The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like. We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!). Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

Overview

About

Moonshine Beach beckons with its pristine sands and crystal-clear waters, offering a plethora of activities for the adventurous soul. From sunbathing and swimming to beach volleyball and picnicking, this scenic destination is a playground for all ages. While the gentle lapping of waves invites relaxation, the surrounding trails call for exploration, promising an unforgettable experience with every visit.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Moonshine Beach is during the summer months, from June to August, when the sun warmly embraces the land and the water is inviting. However, to avoid the peak crowds, consider the shoulder seasons of late spring or early fall. Winter months can be less favorable due to cooler temperatures and reduced services.

Check the weather forecast before your trip to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience amid the changing conditions.
Be aware of any seasonal closures or service reductions, especially outside of the peak summer season.
Accessibility may vary across different areas of the beach, so inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
While some amenities are available, it's wise to bring essentials like water, sunscreen, and a first-aid kit.
