This Missouri Department of Conservation area provides basic camping with drive-in and walk-in access via well-maintained roads. The grassy sites offer minimal shade, making them better suited for cooler months or campers who don't mind sun exposure. Recent visitors note regular lawn maintenance and open areas suitable for pets to exercise.
The location sits adjacent to an active gun range, creating noise during operating hours. Agricultural traffic on surrounding roads adds to the sound and occasional odors from farming operations. Campers should prepare for bugs and ticks, particularly during warmer months. For additional camping choices, visitors can explore places to camp near Macon or nearby Long Branch State Park Campground. Basic amenities include toilets and campfire permissions.
