Welcome to Ozark Outdoors Resort!

Nestled in a serene valley among the rolling Missouri hills, Ozark Outdoors Resort is your ultimate escape for relaxation and bonding with friends. Imagine camping and living by the majestic Meramec River, where your days are filled with adventure, laughter, and the company of friends.

Since 1960, we’ve welcomed your family and friends into our fold, making our front yard yours. We invite you to keep the tradition alive with a mile of breathtaking riverfront camping and lodging along the picturesque Meramec River. Just a stone’s throw from I-44, we’re perfectly placed between St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia and Springfield, Missouri, and Onondaga Cave State Park and the Huzzah Conservation Area in Crawford County—your secluded haven yet conveniently located.
