LAKE OF THE OZARKS, MO - No matter what kind of vacation a visitor is planning at Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, they will find nearly as many options for where to stay as there are ways to play at what readers of USA Today voted the "Best Recreational Lake in the Nation" and "Best Lake for Water Sports in the Nation."

"For some of our vacationers, one of their favorite parts of visiting the Lake is choosing from the impressive array of places to stay," says Lagina Fitzpatrick, executive director of the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association. "Whether it's a resort, condo or vacation home, cabin or campground, bed and breakfast or national hotel chain, there's no shortage of options to choose from, no matter the size of your group or your budget. I like to say that our accommodations have just as much variety and personality as the Lake does."
Indeed, there is an incredible range of options when it comes to staying at the the "Fun Lake." Seriously. With more than 5,400 "rooms" at the Lake of the Ozarks, there are plenty of places to accommodate the Lake's more than 7 million annual visitors.

Are you planning an outdoorsy trip for hiking, biking and kayaking? Perhaps the Lake's 21 campgrounds and RV parks would be the best fit for you and/or your group. One of the most memorable ways of experiencing the Lake's great outdoors is sleeping under the stars and enjoying the splendor of an Ozark moon. If you don't feel like pitching a tent or pulling a camper, maybe a rustic cabin, tree house or a fully-equipped "glamping" (glamorous camping) set-up is what you want? Regardless of where or how campers set up camp, they will be close to a wide variety of family-friendly attractions and activities so they can be as active or laid-back as they want to be.
Planning a getaway for a large group? Maybe it's a reunion or a big getaway with family and/or friends? There are numerous resorts around the Lake of the Ozarks that cater to groups large and small, anywhere from a couple of guests all the way up to hundreds. Some of the Lake's resorts also have impressive conference centers, banquet rooms and meeting spaces, regardless if you're planning a trip for business or pleasure.
