Venture River RV park

We called for reservations on the way into Venture River RV Park and had no problem getting the site we wanted since it was off-season and mid-week. We were told the office would be closed and that we would receive an informational email with details like the Wi-Fi code, but we did not; not a big deal for an overnight, especially since we used our T-Mobile Home Internet. We selected back-in Site 39 with full hookups, which turned out to be an easy back-in along the small lake. The site was fairly level and we were impressed with the large yard area that even included a wooden bench swing. Utilities were centered, though the electric pedestal sat toward the rear and required about 35 feet of cord for our rig. Water pressure was very good and we used a reducer. We picked up two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. There are not many trees, so satellite should work well, and spacing is decent for this type of campground, especially between Sites 38 and 39. The park sits on a lake with the Venture River water park across the way, and we expect it would be very popular during the summer season. There is a restroom building with shower stalls toward the back that has seen better days. No laundry and no formal dog area, but there is plenty of room to walk pets. During this quieter time of year, this made a very good overnight stop on our way back to our home base near St. Louis.
