Great Little Rest Stop

Very nice free camp ground that is suitable for any type of camping.

The Ranger, who was very nice, had good service with AT&T, I had TMobile at my campsite with a booster.

Miles and miles of trails for Mountain Biking, horse riding or just hiking, and you can ride your ATV on the roads but you need an orange triangle.

Well worth the 20 to 30 minute trip off the highway.

Great place to camp on the Berryman Trail

Good access to the Berryman Trail. There is a creek running along the camping area with a road along the opposite side. Park for the day or camp overnight to get an early start. Make sure you stop in Sullivan or Bourbon, MO for supplies. This site is pretty remote from any services.
