Accessible by two miles of gravel road, Boze Mill Float Camp provides primitive camping along the Eleven Points River in Mark Twain National Forest. This boat-in, hike-in, or walk-in campground features several dedicated sites, each equipped with a fire ring, shepherd's hook, and picnic table, plus one pit toilet building for the area.
The camp's centerpiece is a blue spring emerging from a pool that once powered the historic Boze Mill. The old rock dam and bridge structure remain, creating a distinctive landmark and photo opportunity. Campers access the site directly from the river when floating or kayaking, with the camping area just a short walk from the water. Fall visits offer changing foliage, though mosquitoes can be persistent throughout warmer months.
The Eleven Points River draws paddlers year-round, and several reviewers highlight the area's appeal for both camping and day visits. Tiffany H. calls it "likely the most beautiful float I've done in MO." The spring-fed waters maintain consistent temperatures, supporting fishing opportunities even when air temperatures drop. For additional camping along this corridor, Greenbriar Float Camp sits 1.7 miles north.
