TravelerThe campsites are well maintained. There are limited primitive sites that book fairly quickly. We stayed at an electric site due to no primitive sites being available. Keep an eye on the weather as several of the campgrounds are at risk of flooding.
RangerWe stopped for the night while passing through MO. Tons of spots open on a Monday in August. Cindy at the park office was so friendly and helpful. She suggested spot 100 in campground 2 since it backs onto the river. Lovely sounds! Lots of trout in the river - at that spot, it’s only about 1 foot deep so it was fun to wade in the water and let the pup run around.
Good park store, dump station, trash and lots of hikes to do. Too bad we simply stayed the night
TravelerLarge spots in Campground 1 with a lot of shade. Campground 2 and 3 are a little closer together. Very clean and quiet. Showers could use a little up dating. It has hiking trails and roads to bike on. Plus the huge spring that creates the Roaring River and a large fish hatchery. Fish for trout.
ScoutQuiet and secluded. Just enough off the ‘beaten’ path of campgrounds to be rather private.
ScoutBeautiful park, clean, cold water
GuideNice campsites and lots of shade! Trout fishing is great and swimming holes down stream. Spring fed so the water is cold!
LegendMost popular with trout fishers. Check website for fishing dates. Very pretty area but fishy smelling. Old campground with lots of sites for tents and rvs. Pretty good for biking through the park.
RangerA very pretty campsite that I stayed on a youth camping trip and I decided to get up early in the morning before anyone else and to go on a run, the clouds we low enough to where you couldn’t see the top of the bluffs but there was no fog so it was very pretty and seemed magical and to make matters even better on my run an female elk ran out in front of me and I let it be and it ran off but that made it my first time ever seeing an elk
GuideCampground 1 is very shady, lots of trees and spacious sites. Trout fishing is awesome. Lots of trails and fish hatcheries.
