Free primitive camping at Huzzah Conservation Area comes with one clear caveat: the access road is rough, so high-clearance vehicles are worth considering before the drive out. Managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation near places to camp near Leasburg, the site allows campfires and pets, and trash service is provided. No fees, no reservations. Campers heading into the area should come self-sufficient, as amenities are minimal beyond the basics listed.
