Tree-shaded sites, clean amenities, and the peace of the Ozarks — just minutes from Joplin.
Ward's Creekside Campground sits quietly along the road out of Joplin, where the traffic fades and the trees close in. We've built a place for people who want a clean, straightforward camp — not a theme park, just a solid site, a patch of shade, and room to settle in.
Whether you're passing through the Ozarks or taking a weekend to slow down, our sites welcome tents, trailers, and anything in between. No frills. Just a well-kept campground where the focus is on the outdoors, not the office.
Everything you need for a comfortable stay, nothing you don't.
Spots nestled under mature trees, offering natural shade and a cooler stay through the Missouri summer.
Well-maintained restroom and shower facilities, cleaned regularly for a comfortable experience.
Available on select sites for extended stays, RVs, and travelers who need a reliable hookup.
Family reunions, church trips, and small groups are welcome. We can accommodate larger parties with advance notice.
Located right off Old US-71 with straightforward access from Interstate 49 and local roads.
Your dogs are welcome here. Bring them along — just keep them on a leash and respect your neighbors' sites.
Give us a call to check site availability or ask about long-term stays. Walk-ins are also welcome when space allows.
