Brazil Creek Camping Area

The campsites are located on the right-hand side of the road. This is part of a trail area - camping is allowed.

Dispersed camping is allowed along the trail.

Dispersed camping is the term used for free camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground.

Dispersed camping means there are no toilets, no structures, no trash cans, no treated water, and no fire grates.

There are extra responsibilities required for this type of camp. It's a must to educate yourself before you try it, but we hope the adventure of dispersed camping in the Mark Twain National Forest calls to you!

Camp 100 feet away from trails and water sources.
