    Iowa Gem!

    Cute little RV/tent campground. Very nice hosts. Only stayed 1 night. Definitely on the 'let's go back' list. Waubonsie trail behind park is a short hike to the covered bridge and Dutchman's Store. Perfect Way to stretch your legs after a long day on the road. Bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean. Horseshoe pit, playground and campfire swing area were nice surprises. All for under $20 for electric RV site! Great campground for a small group event.

    Indian Lake Park

    Beautiful

    This park has something for everyone. They have primitive tent sites, electric only, electric+water, and fhu. They also have cabins for rent. All very reasonably priced. Most of the sites are nice and shady and level. A bathhouse with showers. A stone lodge for large parties. There is a playground, a few nice hiking trails, and a lake with a nice sandy beach. Almost empty during the week, but very busy on summer weekends. Hiking,fishing, swimming, kayaking,bird watching. There are many things to keep you busy here.

    Coyote — Mark Twain State Park

    Perfect location!

    Stayed in coyote campground. Super close to hiking trails and the shower house was clean. Mostly non RV people here which made it a bit quieter. Still close to all the action and not far from the historical stuff or the town of Florida. This campground looks a little more primitive but it does have cabins, primitive and full hookups. This would be my vote for when we come back here.

    Lots to do here but mostly just able to get away from the craziness. Hosts were great! Chatted with them for a bit and they are super experienced and very helpful. Positive is they are located right at the front.

    They are doing some work on some of the gravel pads so some sites are closed but it’s all for the better so no complaints.

    Mark Twain Lake Jellystone Park and The Water Zone

    Pricy but great fun

    I found the camping area to be tight but what a fun place to be. Being after Labor Day the water par was closed, but looked like fun. Mini golf was booming. They had nice pavilion areas for gatherings. There was also a large swimming pool. Several of the sites were for seasonal but were very well kept. The camping cabins looked nice. As you came into the resort there was a well equipped store and a huge banquet center. They had two good sized ponds for fishing. Amenities included cable and WiFi. Not wilderness camping but fun for kids.

    Coyote — Mark Twain State Park

    Great off-season camping

    We visited twice in the off-season we loved the campground so much. It’s quiet and secluded. Very clean and beautiful.

    Coyote — Mark Twain State Park

    Beautiful Camping, Historic Education, Incredible Lake

    We camped at Mark Twain State Park for one night. We didn't go out on the lake, but agreed that we would love to come back here with a boat. The lake is huge - probably not a lake I personally would love to kayak in. The campgrounds were well kept and fairly secluded. Be sure to check out Mark Twain's Birthplace!


Guide to La Belle

Glamping options near La Belle, Missouri provide access to both Mark Twain Lake and smaller conservation areas with fishing opportunities. Located in northeast Missouri where rolling farmland meets hardwood forests, this region experiences hot summers with temperatures often above 85°F and mild winters. Many glamping sites offer year-round accommodations with full-service options that complement nearby primitive camping.

What to do

Fishing from your site: At The Catfish Place Campground, guests can cast directly from their camping spots. "It was great to be able to fish from our site. Close to geode hunting locations," notes Amy W., highlighting the convenience for anglers.

Swimming at natural beaches: Indian Lake Park provides water recreation options beyond fishing. Dave N. explains, "There is a playground, a few nice hiking trails, and a lake with a nice sandy beach. Almost empty during the week, but very busy on summer weekends."

Crystal hunting adventures: The waters near Coyote Campground offer unique geological exploration. "Warm, clear, fresh water to swim in. Full of crystals and wildlife," reports Shawna N., describing a natural feature not commonly highlighted in the area.

What campers like

Affordable cabin alternatives: Campers appreciate the budget-friendly glamping structures compared to traditional cabins. "Very reasonably priced. Most of the sites are nice and shady and level," notes Dave N. about Indian Lake Park accommodations.

Clean shower facilities: Hunnewell Lake Conservation Area maintains reliable facilities despite being a free camping location. Matthew H. points out, "Free potable water and dump station behind ranger station," making it a valuable stopover for glampers wanting occasional rustic nights.

Historical connections: The proximity to Mark Twain historical sites enhances the camping experience. "Be sure to check out Mark Twain's Birthplace!" recommends Kelsie L., highlighting educational opportunities near glamping sites.

What you should know

Generator noise concerns: Some conservation areas permit generators but lack enforcement of quiet hours. Cathy C. shares her experience: "The rules about quiet time are not enforced and some idjit ran his loud generator until 1 am. We ended up moving away from him at 11:30."

Seasonal crowds: During peak summer months, expect more visitors at glamping sites with water access. "Almost empty during the week, but very busy on summer weekends," cautions Dave N. about Indian Lake Park.

Limited level ground: Some sites require strategic setup. "The campground slopes toward the lake, so finding level ground is a challenge," notes Cathy C. about Hunnewell Lake Conservation Area.

Tips for camping with families

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Waubonsie Trail Park offers nature experiences beyond standard amenities. Tracy J. shares, "Waubonsie trail behind park is a short hike to the covered bridge and Dutchman's Store. Perfect way to stretch your legs after a long day on the road."

Multiple playground options: Parks with dedicated children's areas provide entertainment between water activities. "Horseshoe pit, playground and campfire swing area were nice surprises. All for under $20 for electric RV site!" reports Tracy J.

Insect preparation: Pack appropriate repellents for the region's bug population. One visitor to Hunnewell noted, "I came away with a ton of bug bites," suggesting families should bring proper protection, especially during summer months.

Tips from RVers

Off-season advantages: Shoemaker RV Park provides year-round access with varied site configurations. Travis M. advises, "30/50 amp service throughout. K row is preferential. Spread out fairly well. You're not on top of each other here."

Row selection matters: Request specific areas when booking glamping sites with RV access. "They had nice pavilion areas for gatherings. Several of the sites were for seasonal but were very well kept," observes Cathy S. about Mark Twain Lake Jellystone Park.

Water system considerations: Some parks experience periodic maintenance issues. One reviewer mentioned a "sewer smell" at an RV park, noting "they were fixing it," suggesting campers should inquire about current infrastructure status when booking glamping accommodations.
