King Lake Conservation Area

King Lake Conservation Area sits on 87 acres managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, centered around a small fishing lake. The property allows primitive camping with no developed facilities or amenities. Anglers target the lake for bass and other warm-water species, while campers set up in undeveloped areas around the shoreline.

Access requires driving on gravel roads, and the remote location means limited cell service. The conservation area operates under standard Missouri Department of Conservation regulations for overnight stays. Campers looking for developed amenities will find better options at Pony Express RV or other camping destinations in the Cameron area.

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.
