Quiet on weekdays but noticeably busier on Saturdays, Indian Creek Campground sits near a lake in Anderson, Missouri, managed by the National Forest Service. The campground has multiple loops, including the Sentry loop and Eagle Point Fox loop, with full hookups available at select sites. Shower houses with hot water are cleaned regularly, though insects are common. Ticks can be heavy in summer, especially on trail sections with more elevation change than the flat terrain might suggest. A swim beach and boat ramp give campers direct water access, and camping near Pineville rounds out the options for those exploring the surrounding area. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome.
Description
Indian Creek lies on the northern banks of Mark Twain Lake. It is the largest campground on the lake with 215 standard campsites, plus additional non-electric and tent-only sites.
The lake is named for the beloved writer and humorist, Mark Twain, who was born just south of the lake in Florida, Missouri.
