Paradise in the Woods RV Park – Strafford, MO
We would like to report on the “Paradise in The Woods RV Park & Campground” in Strafford, Missouri. We feel it is a very poor place to camp. We made a reservation for a weeks stay in June of 2005. We were told that it was a nice clean camp and there was plenty of room for a 34 ft. trailer.
When we got there we found that the spaces were so narrow that we could hardly get in and the sewer connection was about 12 to 18 inches from our neighbors front door. We were traveling with another couple who had the same problem with their site. Their sewer dump was UNDER their neighbors picnic table. Our site did not even have a picnic table. Needless to say, we were not happy with the place so we told the owners that we had changed our minds.They seemed fine with the idea so we left. We found out when we returned home that we had been charged for the entire week on our credit card. We called them and they were very ugly about it and said we had caused them to lose money since we planned to stay there a week. We would have been happy to pay the first night but didnt think it was fair to pay the whole week. Just wanted to warn people about this place.

We spent 2 days of our honeymoon (2009) here and loved it. The pool was clean and we made use of it. The shower house was rustic but clean, and there were alot of RV’rs there that were making use of the laundry facilities. The park was clean & neat. We have a small 2-piece travel unit so didn’t noticed any particular space issues but there were several “big boys” parked there. The parking spaces are a bit narrow for them with their numerous (and big) slide outs. The price was extremely reasonable. Maybe ownership has changed hands, don’t know. But we’ll be going back this year at some time I’m sure.
We stayed at Paradise In The Wood RV Park several times on our way to Texas for the winter and found it to be an extremely nice place, and the owners were as nice and kind as any place we have ever been in. As noted on the above comments, as we saw it there was not sewer or any other problem we encountered. I rate this place and it’s Godly people a “5″.

Can you tell me your other concerns about Paradise RV park. I noticed it was for sale and was considering looking into that further as a home and business. You can email me at abc66555@yahoo.com
Thanks
In response to the original post, does anyone else have any complaints about this location?
I am a land owner near this campground. This region is truly a paradise and needs to remain that way.
The sewer system is very important to me since I live down hill, and down stream from this place.
Also, there are other private interests in jeopardy that I\’m concerned about.
I\’m leary of creating a user name for legal reasons.
Any and ALL help will be appreciated!

This is the first RV park that we have ever stayed in with out 34 foot Winnebago Brave with 2 slide outs (July 4, 2010). We had plenty of room and a table near us. All the facilities were outstanding and the long-term residents were extremely friendly and nice to us. This park was extremely clean and the owner, Mary, bent over backwards to make us feel at home. I would not hesitate to buy land near this park because the owner is very particular about the residents there and wants a clean, respectable, park. I hope all our future experiences are 1/2 as great as the one at Paradise in the Woods.
