    My boyfriend and I are going to be staying with a relative in Kansas City then looking to go camping. Any recomendations? We have a tent and would like something with toilets and showers but not much else. Water nearby for tubing or kayaking.

    Longview Lake is located in Lee's Summit and has camp grounds where you can stay for 6 bucks and then go fishing and boating if you like. It is only 15-20 min from KC proper.

    Table Rock Lake is good but Its about 4 hours away from there. Same with Lake of the ozarks. Plus you will have a hard time finding places open due to all the flooding. But yeah Longview Lake is good...lets see what else. Clinton Lake, Perry, Hillsdale. E-mail me if you need more!

    Hope this helps.

    Two places in Missouri you may want to consider.

    1st is the Meramac State Park. Father from KC though. About 50 miles west of St. Louis via I-55. Very nice area. And I have included a link.

    Other is the Lake Of The Ozarks. Specifically the Osage river. Going south on highway 54 just prior to getting to the big lake you will see several places that offer tent camping. And you can tube and go kayaking on the Osage.

    Osage Beach just south of there on 54 has one of the largest outlet malls in the Midwest-should you decide to go shopping too.
