Off-road enthusiasts gather at this 800-acre adventure center where dirt roads wind through both forested sections and open terrain. The Mulberry River runs directly through the property, creating multiple access points for water activities alongside the extensive trail system that draws ATV and side-by-side riders from across the region.
The campground spreads across varied terrain, offering both shaded sites under tree cover and open areas that accommodate larger RVs. Jeff P. notes the facility "is offered lots of shade but also offered open land for RV and primitive camping." Sites range from full hookup spots to primitive areas, with reviewers consistently mentioning the generous spacing between campsites. The property includes two grass airstrips where small aircraft can land, adding an unusual element to the camping experience.
Beyond camping, the center operates as a hub for multiple activities. Private off-road trails require an additional fee, while access to nearby Ozark National Forest trails provides more riding options. The on-site restaurant draws crowds for breakfast and dinner, and a well-stocked store carries ice cream and fresh foods. River access supports canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, while hikers can explore trails that extend into the surrounding national forest.
Road conditions vary depending on recent weather, with several reviewers noting muddy conditions after rain make for exciting but challenging off-road opportunities. The facility hosts music festivals and private events, which can increase crowd levels during certain weekends. Sites near the river tend to fill first, particularly during peak seasons. For those exploring the broader area, campgrounds around St. Paul offer additional options within the Ozark Mountains region.
Reservations help secure preferred sites, especially for RV campers needing full hookups or those wanting river proximity during busy periods.
