Small and shaded, Lightfoot Landing sits within the Pomme De Terre Recreation Area on Pomme de Terre Lake in Pittsburg, Missouri, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Sites are large enough to fit an RV, tow vehicle, and boat trailer together, and most face the lake with good tree cover overhead. A well-maintained boat ramp and courtesy dock give water access, though overnight boat storage is not available on-site. Campers looking at camping spots around Pomme De Terre Recreation Area will find this one of the smaller options in the corridor. Electric and water hookups accommodate RVs up to 45 feet, rates run $14 to $30 per night, and the campground stays open year-round.
