Ozark Highlands, Springfield, MO

Ozark Highlands, Springfield, MO

We stayed here for two weeks in June of 2019 while visiting Anna’s uncle John. This is a good alternative to the KOA where we have stayed before as it is lower cost and much closer to John’s house. The park has been here since the 1940’s and is primarily designed for mobile homes but they have included sites for short term stays in RV’s and for longer term stays (over a month) you would be placed on a mobile home site. Mobile homes in the park range from very well kept to some being in need of some TLC but overall the park has aged well unlike most mobile home parks.

Springfield / Route 66 KOA

Springfield / Route 66 KOA

Rating:  
Location:  Springfield, Missouri
Site Quality:  Gravel roads throughout the park with gravel pull thru and back in spots.
Type:  Commercial
Access:  Just off Interstate 44 on Farm Road 140. Take exit 70 (MM) and go south about a block to 140 then east to the park. Fairly easy for a big rig although some of the trees on 140 were pretty low. When full, some of the park roads could also be difficult to navigate due to shorter sites with minimal room to park a tow vehicle.
Staff: Friendly and helpful.
Amenities:  Cable TV, Pool, dump station, propane on site, store, limited restaurant, laundry facilities along with showers and restrooms.
Cellular/WiFi:  AT&T and Verizon 2 bars and decent speeds (5 Mbps Verizon / 3 Mbps AT&T). WiFi was available but we did not use it since it was an open system.
What we liked: Felt safe and secure. Our site (#22) had lots of shade from large trees.
What we didn’t like: Our site was a bit small for our coach plus truck. Previously we had been put in a premium site when we stayed one night and it was a bit longer (sites 65-67, 72 and 73). Any of the sites 65 through 74 should be slightly longer. Sites 21 through 33 seem to be some of the shortest. We had to park the truck sideways across the front of the site partially on the grass. Satellite did not work but only because of the shade trees. Free CATV is included so that is an alternative. There is is a busy train track adjacent to the park with associated horn noise all night.
