The rest rooms in the RV park are checked each day but the only thing done is the toilet paper changed and the floor swept. Sinks and toilets are not cleaned. The lawn has not been mowed in a long time. Dandalines have turned from flower top to seed tops.you can,t rely on the camp host being at the kiosh. They have a sign up saying if you need something go to there camp site. I believe that manage is reallypoor or non existing.wake up and clean up!
A very clean and well operated campground by the Missouri IDNR. They are well staffed, friendly, and work towards a balance of camping experiences by people while maintaining habitat in their natural state. IDNR state sites are ones you can feel safe & relaxed in.
We camped here for two nights in August. I have nothing bad to say, except that it took for ever to get from the main highway to the campground, with a couple tight turns followed by hills along the way. The sites were level and the place was clean, but there was nothing really special about the park. Just your average state park with trees and a lake.
We hiked the 7.5 mile red loop in early July and although there were some nice parts, most of the trail was muddy and seriously littered with horse poop. Of course some of that is to be expected since it's a biking/equestrian trail, but come on, droppings EVERY 5 steps for the entire 7.5 miles? We'll go elsewhere next time.On the bright side, the staff at the visitor's center were nice, and the stone shelter seemed to have ok facilities including a playground and sheltered picnic tables.
If you are looking for a campground to go and have fun dont go to cuiver they are so strict it was almost like all we could do was sit there in silents it was ridiculous. quiet hours are 10 to 6 and we turned our radio way down it was super quiet and they cam by at 10:03 and yelled at us for being too loud, we could barely even hear it. It would be a good camp ground for old retired people but it is definitely not young person approved. The camp site in general was very nice, clean and level which is good for tent camping. Indoor bathroom and showers were for the most part clean.
Our goal was to go kayaking in a lovely and peaceful place and Lincoln Lake at Cuivre River State Park fit the bill. It's a clean lake, with little traffic as gas motors are not allowed. Saw one man took home four nice sized catfish. Picnic areas are lovely and abundant. There is even a small, crystal clear stream to play in. The boat ramp is great and well maintained. The beach....could be really nice as it is a very large area for a fairly small lake. The problems are 1-not enough sand in the lake, only goes out about half way to the barrier, so this makes the swimming area very murky and unpleasant, 2-people are loud, trashy talking and non-rule following. Rules not followed, blatantly, were glass bottles, alcohol and pets. For goodness sake if you are going to drink put it in a non-descript, non-glass container and please no one wants to walk barefoot where your dog is romping around and no one wants to listen to your trashy mouth. So, if you stay away from the beach you will love this park!
My husband and I took our dog here today for a chance to enjoy the fall weather and colors. We chose the Lake Loop trail, 3 miles altogether. The trail was quite narrow at some points and rocky, and you had to wade a bit at the inlets. However, all that pales in comparison to the fun and easy hike and the great scenery. I'd recommend the park to anybody.
I loved Cuivre River State Park. The horse trails are really nice. There's a small overnight horse camp so you have to get there early to get a spot. There is a day camp if you just want to haul in and ride for the day.
Beautiful and quiet. Loved the view and great fishing too. The drive was awesome; very wooded with just enough light. You wouldn't expect it in Missouri!!
I like to just drive around nature and watch things. The trees were starting to change and that helped a bunch. It looked like they have a nice area to get your horse saddled up and go on the trails.
