We all love roasting marshmallows over a campfire—and you can often still do that while cabin camping in Annada. The Dyrt is the ultimate place to find cabins for your next outdoor adventure near Annada. You're sure to find the perfect cabin rental for your Missouri camping adventure.
Pitch your tent in one of four widely spaced sites. Each site has enough room for multiple tents and includes a fire pit and picnic table. The sites are just a short walk from our shower/restroom facility. The fishing ponds are just a quarter mile walk from the campsites, and access to the numerous trails throughout our 940-acre property is directly from the campsites. While we have four designated sites, it is rare for all to be full, and likely that you'll be the only campers here most days. We are located in a very remote/rural part of Illinois in a county nestled between the Mississippi& Illinois Rivers, but only 75 miles north of downtown St. Louis. We have been included in John Shirle's"The Best in Tent Camping: Illinois."
The McCully Heritage Project is a 940- acre environmental center located one mile south of Kampsville in beautiful and remote Calhoun County. We are a private non-profit left as the legacy of Howard and Eva McCully.

Most tenants work in the Vicinity . The spaces are a little bit dirty. Nobody picks up after the dogs. The pound is nice, but filthy water
Guide
I stayed one night in the RV campsite. There was only one other camper. The grass had been mowed recently so the path around the pond was easily walkable.
Not many of the RV sites had fire rings and, with all of the fresh cut grass, it would have taken a lot of raking to make a spot safe for a fire anyway.

This site was so much better than what I was expecting! My friend, Kari, her 3 Doodles, my Beagle, and I camped out the first night in the group section, because there's hardly anyone there and we got there too late in the day to actually start hiking. In the morning, we loaded up our packs, put the little packs on the dogs (they have to carry their own food and water), and headed up the Red Oak Backpacking Trail. I don't know if we started at the beginning or not, but we parked by a little wooden bridge and the hill to start off our adventure kinda kicked my ass a little bit. After we made it up the initial incline, the landscape was beautiful and varied from flat areas to valleys and some creeks (which I was very thankful for after a few hours in 90° and 25 lbs on my back). We ended up setting up camp at a spot we thought was nice just before it got dark, because we didn't know where or how much further the primitive hike-in campsites were. The next day, we figured it out, but we wouldn't have made it there before dark. Towards the end, there were stairs built into the earth that were way too difficult to manage when your legs are jelly and your pack is heavy, so it was almost easier trying to take the side of the stairs and make your own little path, so just a heads up there. We had so much fun the whole time and I can't wait to go back for some snow camping later this year (they are open year round)!!!
Guide
Came when all the water activities were closed for the season. Cannot wait to come back! Facilities very clean and family oriented. Very fun for kids.

If your looking just to get way and relax or go explore Jacksonville or Springfield you can get there in 40 minutes.
The wifi isn’t strong enough to reach back to where we were but that was okay, I guess we didn’t need to watch tv anyways.
You can still here some cars because of the highway but it wasn’t like really crazy. The part is a decent size if you don’t want to hear traffic go further in the back.
Terry the owner she is super nice and friendly you would want to come back just for that alone.
The wifi isn’t so strong but i guess we didn’t need to watch TV. If you don’t want to hear the traffic I suggest getting a spot in the back. The part is a decent size we really didn’t hear it until the morning so by that time it getting up and getting ready to go and explore. You can hit Springfield in bout 40 mins or downtown Jacksonville in 15.
LegendI stayed here in June on a Tuesday night. The main pull-in parking area was completely empty. Has a ton of spots, most with their own fire ring. Some have some shade. There were also other more private pull-in spots where I saw only 2 other vehicles. There’s a little pond with wildlife like rabbits and frogs. You get there after about 5 miles on a well maintained, wide gravel road. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay!
GuideThe whole park doesn't match the awesomeness of site 97 and the few around it, but the end of this loop is almost perfect. Great shade, almost no slope to pads, all power options, great water pressure, and a sewer hookup. Plenty of rocked lounging or tent space with each site. Good size fire pits, lantern post, and an aluminum picnic table on a concrete pad. All the sites have enough empty space in between that most campgrounds would have stuck another site in-between. Restroom/shower house very close by and it's regularly cleaned. 2 trails to lakeside access are close by too.

Lots of activities - pool, cornhole tournament, potluck dinner, and movie night. Great place for families. New owners are clearly making improvements and working hard to create a unique place. Campsite was shaded and everything worked except the 110, but the owners were prompt to help and let us borrow a 30amp adapter and got us setup. The bathhouses still need just a little work. One we used was small and the other stated they were working to improve it. But they were clean and in working order. Just need a little tlc. Highly recommend!
TravelerGravel roads to the campsites are well maintained. Campsites are clean and well maintained. Maps are okay, but not the best. You could easily get an RV or camper around the roads. The way I came was a little weird with some awkward turns that might be tricky for a less experienced operator. At&t gets decent service.
GuideRay Behrens is an extremely large and well laid out campground with beautiful spacious and wooded sites! It has a wonderful, full service marina and a few great trails that lead to the water. It is by far the best Corp of Engineer campground on Mark Twain Lake! Oh, and don't forget to watch the beautiful sunsets!
Scout
I just love the bridge across the pond. We had a picnic and the kids got to play on the playground equipment.
GuideWe stopped despite the reviews as we just needed to sleep and did not plan to get out at all. The place is in terrible shape though there is goats and chickens running around which was kind of cool. Sketchy as prices weee not as posted on their website and they only take cash. Overhanging trees drag on vehicles. For our purposes it worked but I would not come here for anything else.
GuideBased on other reviews, we drive to the campground with intentions of staying the night. l talked with the owner over the phone to see about booking a site as we were getting in late. $50 per night and she would give 10% discount for Dyrt members. She said there were lots of sites open late in the season.
Upon driving in, we saw sites on a large paved pad near the road with hook ups. Drive past the check in to see if there were sites that were off the road due to the road noise. Even though it was a bit off of the interstate, the noise from the highway was awful. The prairie land is flat which lends itself to easily traveling road noise. The road coming in was gravel, with some potholes. It has potential, but felt like a drive in theatre upon entering. We ultimately drove 30 more minutes to Jim Edgar Panther Creek WA for $20/night.
Scout2021 owners allowed for us to stay there all summer and allowed parking for working individuals in semis. The rent was consistently paid on time and we stayed there all summer from May through approximately September. They sold the campground and the new owners do not want working people there. This park is NOT big rig friendly despite what the "ammenities" claim.
GuideJust passing through, we decided to start looking for a place to stay for the night. Came across this place on Dirt. Called and the lady that answered was Super friendly. (Turned out to be one of the owners) We got there and it was beautiful. The landscaping was kept up with, full hook ups, They have a pool, fenced in dog area. Showers and bathrooms. We got to talking with the lady (owner), and she said her and a partner had just bought it in January and have been working on fixing it up, putting all there love into it and had many more plans in the making for the place. Easy access to it off of the highway. We would deffienty stay here again and cant wait to see what it looks like next time we visit.
GuideNice people. Helpful. However they bathhouses were horrible. One was disgusting in the back of the campground. The other one had broken handle on women bathroom so women had to shower in the mens. Which wasn’t very good. Shower didn’t drain, bugs all over.
RangerHuge spots, full hook ups, lake access and a marina with a small restaurant inside. This place is one of my new favorites in the state.
GuideI was traveling to California and it was a good spot but only one campground per parking lot. Wasn’t really busy. I camped in the gravel lot by my car under the stars. Nothing special about the place. 2 bar LTE Verizon.
ScoutNot a bad State Park/Camp ground, theres an Amish store close by with ice and amenities. The map online is wrong when choosing a campsite though. The site I chose appeared off by itself on the map and when I arrived it was in the same area as all other sites.
GuideWe stayed only one night here while passing through. Campground’s new owner is very kind and friendly. He escorted us to our site which was tucked away under some nice trees.
Though campground is close to interstate, noise was minimal (I think because of the trees).
Pretty flowers throughout campground. Bathrooms with a shower and laundry room. Salt water pool, nice grassy area. Some sites had fire pits and picnic tables but not all.
Would definitely stay here again.

We have went to this campsite for years! It’s only 35 minutes from our home which makes it appealing. Everyone is so nice, never had an issue with the people or service. We also love the size of the park, the paved streets, and walking trails. Great for long weekend with littles!
Docked two stars because the sites aren’t consistently mowed and the playgrounds aren’t very well maintained. It’s a far fall off the slides.
Guide
Friendly staff, nice coffee, great to pull in for an overnight stay. FYI- you need to check in between 3 and 5 pm when it is staffed.
Sites are not private and it is under construction to add more sites so it’s a little muddy. The pad is gravel which helps with water drainage.
ScoutThere are homeless people living there in tents and late night parties with fireworks and people being rude. This happened 4 of the 11 nights I have camped there and will not go back after leaving at 4am due to people on drugs freaking out on each other.
GuideWe stayed for a week at the Ray Behrens campground. We stayed at site 113 in the Little Blue Stem area, we backed in and had full hook ups for$26 a night. We really enjoyed this campground. We had plenty of room between us and the next camper. Each site included a wooden picnic table and a fire pit. There was a large grass area between us and the next camper site, but our camper was on an asphalt pad. The site we had in particular had a huge elevation slope from front to back and even at our most extreme settings we could not get our camper fully leveled. This was not a big issue, just something to keep in mind. Overall this was one of our favorite campgrounds we have stayed. There are deer throughout the property, be sure to drive slow especially during the evenings.
TravelerPretty simple campground. No individual sewer hook up sites available. All sites are back in only. Pull through coming soon. Gravel based sites with access to salt river. Can fish off the gravel ramp into the river. There is a stage for bands that come in. Wifi isn't too terrible, but be prepared to be unplugged. Most adorable coffee house with very tasty coffee.
