Lamar City Park

We were the only ones in this very convenient spot tonight. There is ample room for many RV's of any size or type, since it is an open, flat, grassy space. While this is mostly a dry camping site, electricity is provided at the few telephone poles with various inputs, so we hooked up 30 amp service and have our A/C running on a hot summer night. Sweet! There is a small rest room building with flush toilets, lights and running water, one each for men and women. There is a gorgeous pool adjacent to this grassy area that is part of the park. There is a $5 daily admission. Check for pool hours; it is currently 12-7pm weekdays. This park is just off I49, the major US N/S highway on western Missouri, so it is convenient to access. There is a sign asking you to register with the caretaker, who lives in the park. We simply told him we were here for one night and he graciously bade us a good stay. I think the first two nights are free, but there is a donation box by the rest rooms. It's very quiet here (other than for two trains that went by), since the site is part of a charming park, which makes for a nice stroll. There are a couple of water spigots and a dump station, but I'm not sure if it's functional, since the top is off to the side, as if there was work being done. Site quality is 3 because it's basically a mowed grass field.

We had large drive through site with 50 amp service and a nice level lot. Our rig is 40 foot and we pull a pickup truck. The swimming pool was across the parking lot and only cost three dollars per person. They have both an indoor and outdoor pool. There are train tracks nearby, so of course there are trains and whistles during the night.

Both bathrooms were clogged and the train runs on the hour after midnight. You get 1 night free in 30days but it is $20 a night after your one night.

Ok, so everything around this is nice. The actual RV spots are horrible. It was a swamp. Granted all the main they had did not help. I would not pay $20 a night. Electrical hookups are questionable but worked. Some fuses melted in the box. Nothing is really marked clearly and as another review stated, the trains! Oh my, the trains go by a lot during the night. Noise cancelling head gear is in order!

The park across the street however is beautiful!

Basically a grass field with nice long, pull thru sites. It is next to train tracks, so you get a couple trains throughout the night. They're short and fast, so nothing terrible. Restrooms, water and dump as well!

Large field that will accommodate any size RV. Has electric for about 4 RVs the rest would boondock. Hard to determine where the RV spots are but we were the only one. Water/restrooms closed due to cold. First night is free/$20 each night after. Is next to a nice park with the city pool. Negative is it is next to RR but not too bad.

Free 30amp hookup (looks like brand new wiring and outlets. 50A, 240V available too) 4 channels without even raising my antenna (ION, Grit, Bounce and whatever Dr Oz is on). Free dump. Potable water?? (No signage). Beautiful park next door. (So nice to see ball players out again!). And indoor pool with open swim 1-7pm and again 8-9am. For $3/hr. It was worth the $3 for the long hot shower. I was the only person in the whole facility except for the lifeguard. And I only swam about 20 minutes and he offered me $2.50 back! I told him to keep it. I’d give almost anything if my town had a pool of any sort!

Arrived early (3:30pm) and there was one class A using the dump station and then he left. So far I’m the only one here. A few cars coming in (5:30pm) and parking here but there is a ball field right behind me so maybe there is a game or practice tonight. (Looks like maybe a ladies team).

I’ve read about the trains but have not heard/seen any. Maybe they only run at night? Walmart 2 miles away.

Site quality? It’s just an open field but gravel spots and grass.

There was a restroom and there is electrical hookups if desired. There's an aquatic park across the street. And the city park itself is really cute with a great playground and walking paths with a cute stream running through the middle.

It is near train tracks but there isn't too many trains that go by.

The restroom was fairly clean flush toilet and a sink no mirror.

There were softball games going on the night we stayed so the park filled up with cars there was only one other camper besides ourselves.

Large relatively flat grass lot between baseball fields, aquatic park and train tracks.
In our opinion it’s not worth $20 a night maybe $10. That’s why we only stayed 2.
There is a dump station.

It's in the industrial part of town. A lot of train noise at all times of day and night.
Three spots where you can get electric hookup and there is a dump station.
Site is free for the first night but $20 a night after that. We ended up staying a second night because of the high winds.
The city Park across the street was awesome. Was looking forward to getting a shower at the aquatic center but it was closed.
