King Lake Conservation Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

With only six campsites and no restrooms or picnic tables, King Lake Conservation Area runs on the primitive end of the spectrum. Managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation near campgrounds near Cameron, the area sits close to the lake with shoreline access for fishing and wooded cover that provides shade through much of the day. Each site has a fire ring. Resupply is roughly 15 miles out, so arrive prepared. Anglers and campers who want low-density overnight access to a small lake will find this a workable base.

Great seclusion

King Lake Conservation Area is a great spot if you want a quiet, secluded camping experience away from crowded campgrounds. There are only 6 campsites, which makes it peaceful and relaxing. The campsites sit close to the lake with plenty of shoreline access for fishing, and the wooded areas around the sites provide good shade throughout the day. Each campsite has a fire ring, which is nice for cooking or relaxing by the fire at night. However, there are no picnic tables or restrooms, so be prepared for more primitive camping. I definitely would not recommend forgetting any supplies because the closest store is about 15 miles away. Overall, it’s a simple but beautiful place to camp if you enjoy nature, fishing, and a more private atmosphere.
