Castor River Ranch Campground offers a peaceful, private river-front camping experience in a natural setting yet has immediate access to state highway DD. All of our RV/Campsites are very spacious and are furnished with picnic tables, stone fire pits, septic, electric (30 - 50-110 amp) and spring- water. We offer canoe/ kayak/tube out fitting and a shuttle service for float trips. The Castor River offers some of the best small mouth bass fishing found anywhere. In addition to river activities, we have 140 acres of hiking trails that contain a piece of the old Missouri Pacific Railroad bed and a tunnel dating back to the 1800's. CRRC also has fenced pasture and water available for those equestrians who prefer to go camping with their horses. We have horse trails, kayaks, canoes, and floating available on the beautiful Castor River!
Take U.S. 67 to State Hwy A, East at Cherokeee Pass. Go 10 miles to Marquand and turn right on HWY M at the stop sign. Go approximately 400 feet on HWY M and take an immediate left on State Hwy DD. Go approximately 2 miles until you get to the Castor River Bridge. Cross the bridge and take an immediate left just past the guardrail.
From I-55, exit at Jackson and take 34 West to Marble Hill. Approximately 8.5 miles east of Marble Hill turn Right (North) on State Hwy DD. Go 9.9 miles until you come to the Castor River Bridge - Turn Right at the guardrail. (If you crossed the bridge, you have gone too far).

Peaceful, and family oriented! The tunnel is awesome too!
Went there for the day to help with Stream Clean event, nice campground with pavillion and picnic table at eaxg site. The bathroom/shower seems farther from tent sites. Castor river is beautiful for floating/fishing but please take your garbage out with you.
If you bring your own kayak the owner will ride in YOUR car and then will make you let him drive your vehicle back to the campground and then "hide" your keys on your tire. Great float tho.
NO ELECTRIC or WATER at tent site like indicateded on website. Only one shower and toilet at "bathhouse". Water quit working 5 minutes into shower and wouldn't come back on. Not even in sink. Not worth the $40 a night per tent that we paid! Also no trash SERVICE. No shade at tent sites! Shuttle fee of $30 for them to take you 2 miles up the road and drop you off to float. Not included in the $40 per kayak fee. WON'T BE BACK! Only got the one star for the fun we had on the river!!
