Cedar Grove/Dee Murray Backcountry Camping — Ozark National Scenic Riverway

Accessible by boat or vehicle, Cedar Grove/Dee Murray Backcountry Camping sits within Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Jadwin, Missouri, and draws anglers and paddlers to the Current River corridor. The site is primitive by design. Amenities include a porta-potty up a steep hill, picnic tables, and fire rings, with trash service provided.

Fun primitive camping

nice Scenic remote area, good for wading and trout fishing. It is also a beautiful place to float with the family. Campground is very primitive you have to walk up a large Hill to get to the porta potty and is sometimes noisy with all the floaters but all in all a great place to go.
