Gravel pads with 6x6 tie borders accommodate RVs up to 45 feet at this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Pomme de Terre Lake. Sites cluster close together along the main drive path, with most positioned four sites above the water rather than directly waterfront. Power lines and support towers cross some driveways, creating tight maneuvering conditions that require careful backing for larger rigs.
"Nemo is a beautiful campground with nice sized gravel pads," notes Matthew H.. The entire campground offers swim access to the lake, with a designated beach area and extensive shoreline when crowds fill the main swimming zone. Restroom and shower facilities stay clean, though some reviewers report occasional maintenance issues with spigots and standing water during peak season.
Sites include electric and water hookups but no sewer connections. A dump station serves the campground, and each site features a picnic table. The playground draws families, while anglers appreciate direct lake access from most camping spots. Campers can find supplies at Dollar General and gas stations within five miles, plus a bowling alley serving pizza for those wanting a break from camp cooking.
Reserve specific sites carefully through Recreation.gov, as pad layouts vary significantly and some advertised waterfront sites sit farther from the lake than expected.
Description
Overview
Attention Campers! We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain campgrounds. For more information and volunteer applications, call 417-745-6411 and ask for park ranger Heard.Pomme de Terre lake is divided into two arms which extend from the damsite. Nemo landing is located on the shorter arm, which follows the long and winding Lindley Creek and features numerous coves. Although Pomme de Terre is small in comparison to other lakes in Missouri, its clear, deep waters have plenty to offer visitors.
Recreation
Visitors can find ideal fishing locations in one of the many tucked away coves, abundant with bass, walleye, crappie, catfish and muskie. Muskie is particularly popular as Pomme de Terre is the only lake in Missouri with a notable amount of the species. Jet skiing, water skiing and canoeing are also popular water sports. Across the Road from the campground is Nemo Marina, one of four full-service marinas on the lake, offering fuel, storage, tackle and rentals.
Facilities
Among the many campsites at Nemo Landing, 38 have electric and water hookups, 25 standard electric sites, 15 non-electric sites, and a group camp with 11 electric and water sites. Other campground amenities include hot showers, a swimming beach, boat ramp, and playground.
Natural Features
Pomme de Terre Lake is located in the rugged, tree-topped hills of the west-central Missouri Ozarks. The lake stems mostly from the Pomme de Terre River and boasts 113 miles of shoreline.
Nearby Attractions
