Tree cover sets this tent campground apart from many drive-in sites in northwest Missouri. Mozingo Lake County Tent Campground sits on forested ground near the lake in Maryville, with sites surrounded by trees rather than open grass. At $15 a night, it includes showers, drinking water, and flush toilets. A Friday night in October drew only five or six groups, so crowds are light outside peak summer weekends. Walking paths, playgrounds, and an 18-hole disc golf course are within walking distance of the sites. Campers exploring camping near Maryville will also find the adjacent Mozingo Lake County RV Park for those who prefer hookups. Fall visits offer the best combination of open sites and cooler temperatures for tent camping.
Description
Mozingo Lake Recreation Park features 37 primitive tent campsites available for use. Located in a beautiful wooded area featuring scenic lake views, camping under the stars has never been this enjoyable. Tent camping passes can be purchased at the information booth near the park’s entrance.
The Primitive Tent Camping Area consists of 37 sites, all equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table.
These sites cannot be reserved and are available on a first come, first served basis. Please look out for the ‘PAID – TENT’ signs on each site to assure the site has not already been paid for by another customer.
