## Overview

 Visitors head to Damsite on Pomme de Terre Lake for days of enjoyable boating, fishing and swimming. Just as the name implies, Damsite Park is just above the dam, at the confluence of Lindley Creek and the Pomme de Terre River. The lake is named for the river that feeds it. The phrase \"Pomme de Terre\" is French for potato or \"apple of the earth.\" Most likely, the river was named by early French trappers and fur traders when they discovered plants resembling potatoes on the riverbanks. 
## Recreation

 Excellent fishing is found at the lake, which boasts one of the best catch ratios in the country. Each fall the lake is stocked with muskie, but crappie, largemouth and white bass are also found in abundance. Every year on Fourth of July holiday weekend, a fireworks display takes place over the dam.
## Facilities

 Damsite Park has 80 sites with electric and water hookups, 7 non-electric sites and 1 tent site. Amenities include a dump station, two shower houses, a horse shoe pits, and a playground. 
## Natural Features

 Pomme de Terre Lake sits in the rolling Ozark hills, with 7,790-acres of sparkling surface area and 113 miles of shoreline. 
## Nearby Attractions

 One of the best dirt tracks in the country is right down the road or enjoy a round of golf at the nearby golf course. There are also multiple trails located around this part of the lake.

Damsite

We camped on the bluff loop and had amazing veiws of the lake! Large sites too. There is also a loop called the point which looked like it also had great views but campsites were closer together. Not terrible, but less seclusion. Water &amp; Electric only but dump station on site.  Was just over a 2 hour drive for us from the eastern Jaco/KC metro area.  Cant wait to come back!

Beautiful views!

Great place, beautiful sights along the lake.  Highly recommend 

Camping 

My family and I stayed on the very tip of the campground (site 59). The views were great and we even had a private staircase right down to the water. The site was big &amp; level but it was all gravel. There is not a designated swim area so bring your fishing pole and catch crappie from the shore. Also make sure you have an extra long sewer hose for the dump station. 

Great campground for fishing and views
