A view of the river running by the beachMother Nature's Riverfront Retreat – previously known as 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 Tunnel Dam Garden Center sign. Click here for detailed directions.

In 2012 we opened Mother Nature's Riverfront Retreat and Family Recreation Park and combined services with Old Morgan Outfitters. We are located on the Big Niangua River approximately two miles float, down river, from the Whistle Bridge to our beautiful beach, then it's another three miles to the final take-out spot at the end of the property for a total of 5 miles or 7 miles from the Tunnel Dam spillway.

Join us on the beach for camping, float trips, swimming, sunbathing, and fishing. We also offer an adequate 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.

We have the nicest shower house I have personally seen here at the lake. We offer RV/Camper hookups, laundry facilities, fire wood, tee shirts and ice. Click here to visit our calendar of events.
