Twin Eagle Lake Estates and Hideout is a hidden gem in the southern Missouri town of Potosi. Twin Eagle Lake offers scenic camping at the foothills of the Ozarks with activities for the whole family. They offer full RV hookups, Tent camping sites, rustic cabins, small A-frame cabins, clean shower houses, a general store, tons of children’s activities, and much, much more. In addition to the great camping, they also offer Wedding Packages to make your special day perfect.
As you can see there is something for everyone at this amazing RV park. We just spent the weekend here and we wanted to give you our take on the stay.
They have about 100 full hookup RV sites, but they do fill up quickly. A little too quickly for us, so we had to leave the RV at home this time. We were meeting up with a group of friends, so we booked one of the few options still available. We chose the very unique A-frame cabin for our weekend getaway.
The office and general store were well supplied with a variety of camping wants and needs. Providing golf cart rental, bag ice, grocery supplies, camping gear, and a variety of adult beverages.

The RV park is nicely designed for traffic to move in and out with ease. They created wide roads with most sites being a pull-thru, making your RV setup and breakdown the least of your concerns.
All the RV sites were very level with full hookups, firepits, and picnic tables.
There are a dozen sites along the shore of the lake that looked just perfect for that morning cup of coffee.

There is a row of cabins along the lake in a couple of different sizes and price points depending on your needs. A friend of ours stayed in one and it definitely had all the amenities of home, minus the stress. They each had a front porch, firepit, and BBQ grill. It is a good size campground, but remember golf cart rental is also available if needed.
Centrally located bathrooms were very clean with shower stalls. Shower stalls were paid ($.25 for 5 minutes), but worth every penny on a humid weekend.
It was a great time getting together with friends and family or meeting new people at the campground.
The master chef (myself) was at the grill making dinner one afternoon. I may be a pork steak homer, but this was my favorite meal. We gathered for group meals at breakfast and dinner, there was definitely a good variety of foods all weekend long.

We found plenty of activities for kids of all ages around the park. A big playground, sand volleyball, basketball court, canoe rentals, paddle boats, lakeside swim zone, and a swimming pool.
Live music was provided over the weekend either on the general store patio or at the lakeside pavilion. There were multiple different artists for you to pull out your lawn chair and watch or just enjoy the relaxing sound from your site.
There is a large lakeside swimming zone that is not super deep, depending on the lake levels at the time. The kids really enjoyed this more than anything and spent hours here playing.
Lorelai was so excited with her first snag of a little bluegill. From walking around there seemed to be a variety of fish being brought in over the weekend, catfish, bass, and bluegill.

Here were our accommodations for the weekend. It was tight at times, but it was still nice and cozy. Each unit has a mini fridge, microwave, TV, its own picnic table, and firepit. There was a nice clean bathhouse right next door which was really nice for the middle of the night potty break.
The sidewall can be lifted out to make your own little patio area. This was really nice during the day to open up your space a little and make you feel part of nature. This option was especially nice when bringing supplies in and out over the weekend.
Lorelai even found a little time between activities to get her nails done. This did end up in a rock painting class, but she had a blast with her newfound best friend.
Here is a beautiful picture of the wedding barn from across the lake lit up at night. There was a wedding over the weekend and rain held off for just long enough to get through the ceremony.
After a long weekend of eating, drinking, playing, listening to music, and dodging the rain, we were all exhausted. I think we are all ready for a good nap.
