The Big Bear River Resort Story
Big Bear River Resort is a 25-acre campground nestled along the banks of the Niangua River in Lebanon, Missouri. Everyone from avid campers to those who prefer cabin comforts will enjoy a memorable stay at Big Bear.
The campground, open year round, boasts riverfront primitive campsites, RV hookups, dry and wet cabins, hot showers and clean bathrooms, plus a variety of rentals for floating the river.
We chose to honor the Ozarks’ ancestral history by christening the campground with a meaningful new name. The Osage Nation, whose native name translates to “People of the Middle Waters,” have populated the Ozarks for hundreds of years. The Niangua, a 125-mile tributary of the Osage River, means “bear” in the tribe’s language. Thus, Big Bear River Resort was born.
