Try Gasconade Hills Resort, about 30 miles away...Here's the website...

Click on RV & Camping for rates.... Hope this helps...
Also the WAC Campground is nice, it's in Sarcoxie, but it's about 160
miles away.  Good overnight stop if you're coming from the West and
can't make it all the way....

Don't know your preference as far as camping style (more natural
setting or more trailer park with all the amenities...), but looking
at a map, I note that FLW is surrounded by the Mark Twain National
Forest.

I have no personal knowledge of any of these campsites, but maybe this
will give you some ideas.

Here's another that's about 45 miles away, but one of my favorite camp areas
in Missoure. Nice trout fishing there too !

I agree the campground is very nice.  It's clean, the sites aren't
completely on top of one another, nice showers, laundry facilities even.

As far as nice trout fishing, that is a matter of opinion.  I camped
there while my son did his MOS training for the Marines.  I prefer to be
able to shrug my shoulders and NOT bump the persons on BOTH sides when I
do so!

Jack:

I "camped" there courtesy of Uncle Sam in the late 1970s. I was in basic
training there from August to November. Being from California, I had never seen
the fall colors and was awed by the change of scenery. Spent a week in a pup
tent on bivoac there.

I was happy to see my drill sgts. from the back window of the bus when I was
leaving for my next duty station, though. 8-)
