Berry Bend - Harry S. Truman Lake

Welcome to The Great Escape RV & Camp Resort. We have owned the park since September, 2008 and we are working hard to improve our park every year. We now have 67 spots for your RV enjoyment! Plus, we have tenting spots available too!

Since taking over we have upgraded the electrical and water service and made several improvements to the sites.  Within the next few seasons we will be rehabbing the sites - removing the concrete strips and leveling and adding grass and bushes for a more pleasant atmosphere.

We have added a meeting room in the lower level of the clubhouse that comfortably hold up to 50 people. Meeting room is Heated/Air Conditioned and has a full kitchen, including stove, refrigerator and microwave oven.

We have finished the clubhouse and it is ready for use.  The clubhouse can accommodate up to 100 people comfortably.  It will be open to rent for camping clubs, rallies, weddings, showers, etc. The Bar & Grill is open every Friday and Saturday from 4PM to 10PM. We have beer and wine along with bottles and carry out as well. Phil's Best in the Area Burgers are awesome and we suggest everyone try them! He has other bar foods ready for your enjoyment. He does catering for your events on or off property. Just give the office a call and we can get you a menu!
Come and enjoy our pool! It will be open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day and later if the weather allows.  We are giving our playground equipment a facelift and adding to it as we can.  It will be moved from its current location at some point to the middle of the park.

We hope you consider staying with us on your next journey, whether just for the night, a weekend or an extended stay.

This state park's name can be translated to “apple of the earth”. And it truly is. 

Pomme De Terre State Park offers a variety of opportunities for outdoor recreation. The marina and boat ramps make it easy to get in the water and cast a line out for a variety of fish such as bass, walleye, catfish, crappie–and it is the only place in Missouri where you can catch a muskie! There are also two public swimming beaches that make for great places to cool off after a long hike or for relaxing the day away. Stunning grasslands, huge open savannas, and gorgeous lakeside beaches are also calling your name. 

In addition to the lake, the park is home to two hiking trails that wind through several scenic areas. Indian Point Trail is located in Pittsburg, and is a 3.2 mile loop trail. The other is a 2 mile long trail called the Cedar Bluff trail, which is located on the Hermitage side of the park. Picnic sites that are scattered throughout the forest provide a pleasant place to rest or enjoy a meal. 

The park's two campgrounds are located on either side of the lake: the Pittsburg and Hermitage campgrounds. Collectively, they offer 250 campsites that are ideal for multi-day visits. Playgrounds, ball courts, a baseball diamond, and even a swimming beach make it difficult to limit your stay to just a day or two. A reservation fee of $8.50 applies to each site you reserve.
