Accessible only by boat, Stinking Pond Float Camp sits within Mark Twain National Forest along the Eleven Point River system. The US Forest Service manages this primitive site where campers can bring pets and enjoy campfires after paddling in from river access points.
One reviewer notes the camp features a large cliff suitable for jumping, making it a destination for floating groups who want to combine water activities with overnight camping. The boat-in access means campers must pack all gear and supplies via watercraft. For those planning extended river trips in the region, pet-friendly camping near Mark Twain National Forest provides additional options for multi-day itineraries.
