The Tunnel Dam Gardens and Campground has been in operation since 1999. We are located off of Tunnel Dam Road in Camden County, just one mile down Gardens Road at the old Tunnel Dam Garden Center sign. Click here for detailed directions.

Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat is a 310 acre peninsula surrounded by 3 miles of clean, pristine, spring-fed water, full of fish and fun.

We’ve been in operation as a campground and float-trip business at the old Tunnel Dam Garden Center since 2012. We provide a boat ramp access on the Big Niangua River approximately 13 miles above Ha Ha Tonka State Park, float trips, camping, cabin and camper rentals, camper hook-ups, nice, clean shower house and small convenience store for all your recreational needs.

Mother Nature’s prides herself on her family atmosphere and shower house, but we haven’t forgotten our water rats and hardy partiers either, we have a “Wild Side” just for you!

Join us on the beach for camping, float trips, swimming, sunbathing, and fishing. We also offer a take-out spot/water access where you can park your vehicle while you are canoeing. Click here for a complete listing on our Services and Prices page.
