About
State Park
Mark Twain State Park
Coyote Campground has 31 campsites with pads from 47 to 66 feet in length. All the sites have a fire ring, lantern hook, and picnic table and are in a wooded area not far from the lake. Nine of the campsites have electric and the rest are basic with water access at sites 33, 37, 46, and 53. Three of the sites are ADA-accessible and there is a vault toilet and extra parking at the north end of the campground by the amphitheater. From November until March, you will need to go to the frost-free water access by campsite one in Badger Campground. Pets are welcome as long as they are restrained or on a leash at all times.

Clean, lush
Well-maintained. Lush but neat. Good privacy. Twain Shrine has very limited hours. Only RVs and families here at present. Most sites and entire Coyote loop open, on a Tuesday end of June. Some of the basic sites in the Coyote Loop are more suited to small pop-up trailers than tents—eg, site 45 does not have much room for a tent unless you want to set it up on gravel, while site 43 does. Site 43 looks the best imo. The sites on outside of loop in the Coyote loop are better in general. They have no view of lake though, just glimmers. Two raccoons popped out at me (site 45) from a hollow tree. Apparently ticks and chiggers are bad here. I did not hike because of this. There is a fishing cleaning station. Periodic vault toilets throughout sites though they do not show up on map. Shower houses with flush toilets and sinks. Nice.
Perfect location!
Stayed in coyote campground. Super close to hiking trails and the shower house was clean. Mostly non RV people here which made it a bit quieter. Still close to all the action and not far from the historical stuff or the town of Florida. This campground looks a little more primitive but it does have cabins, primitive and full hookups. This would be my vote for when we come back here.
Lots to do here but mostly just able to get away from the craziness. Hosts were great! Chatted with them for a bit and they are super experienced and very helpful. Positive is they are located right at the front.
They are doing some work on some of the gravel pads so some sites are closed but it’s all for the better so no complaints.

Wow!
Plenty of space. Warm, clear, fresh water to swim in. Full of crystals and wildlife. We will be going back.
