Rocky Cove Campground — Crawford State Park

Crawford State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the state. Located on the edge of the Ozarks, Redbud trees offer spectacular beauty in the spring, plus multicolored foliage in the fall. The area offers unequaled opportunities for wildlife and scenic adventures. There are 45 electric and water sites all with 50 amp service, 28 electric only sites with 30 amp service, and 28 primitive sites. All sites are hardened with many being level concrete and most enjoy over story shade. This park also offers 5 modern deluxe rental cabins available for rent year round. All are waterfront with lake access readily available. There are several trails at this facility including the CCC Memorial Trail and Spider Leg Bridge Trail. Both are unique and offer area history and insight. Only one camping unit per site is allowed and no vehicles are allowed off of the maintained road way, so please make sure that your reservation meets your partys needs. Generators may not be operated after 10 p.m.
