Ponca State Park

Beautiful park but it has some issues. It is difficult to get around. The water was quite a ways from my Rv. Make sure you have a hose long enough to reach.  My only real complaint was the fees. I made my reservation by phone they told me there would be an eight dollar set up fee since I had never stayed with them. Ok I agreed but when I got there they also charged me an additional eight dollars per vehicle per day. If you have a toad that would be an additional $16 per day.  I thought not only was that to much for each day but they should have told me that when I booked.  I will not return. 

Nice park… Nice trees… they charge you eight dollars a day for your vehicle even if it’s a motorhome with no tow vehicle... stayed two days cost $16 extra and the motorhome never left the RV site.. hard to navigate… They need to take the money they charge you for entry and add some signs

Four stars due to limited hookups and tired bathhouse. I stayed here in my 35' 5th wheel. When I arrived I was confused about where to go to check in since the gatehouse was closed. There is plenty of room to park near the visitors center so go there and be sure to get a map of the park because the interior signage is not great to get to the campgrounds for RV's. The interior roads can be a little tricky to navigate and are hilly with some blind turns. It was ok, just a little unnerving the first time through. I was in the Oak Bluff CG, site #43. Electric only, but there was a water spigot right next to my site that was shared with the neighbor site so it was easy to get what I needed. The sites are somewhat close. Mine was situated close to the woods so I had very little "front yard" due to the slope. It was easy to back in. The bathhouse is tired and needs paint inside. The water is push activated so you have to keep pushing during a shower. The park itself has lots to do with many trails and some nice overlooks as well as access to the river, loads of picnic areas, and playgrounds. There were some sites that had concrete pads and full hookups. I'd be sure to get groceries before you go to the park cause the options in Ponca are limited.

Water on most sites. Nice park.

This is a really amazing, beautiful park with nice paved sites. They have horseback riding, archery shooting range, beautiful view of the Missouri River, incredibly nice visitors center with a local history museum and miles and miles of trails and beautiful scenery.

They have a large campground for reservations and an equally large campground for non-reservations. We had 50-amp with water. They have an easily accessible dump station that is easy to access and return to the campgrounds. 

We didn't get to see the inside but Ponca State Park also has cabins ranging from typical looking camping cabins to really nice looking houses that appear very modern.
