"Though I grew up outside of St. Louis, I'd never been to this campground or to Mark Twain Lake. Really enjoyed exploring the area and the campground was nice. "
"When I stepped out it felt like I was walking through a thousand spider webs everywhere. The bathrooms aren’t that clean either. That being said though, bugs are to be expected of a campground."
GuideThis campground is located near the Mark Twain caves. There is also a winery located at the entrance to the campground. There is a store on site, and tourist attractions can pick you up at the store. It is a quick 10 minutes ride into town. Sites are level gravel. There is a playground, dog wash station, and 2 large pavilions to rent.
GuideIt amazes me that there are only a few campsites full in the middle of summer.
TravelerThe campsites are large and pretty well maintained. Not many tables are available. The one I used was wobbly, but held up. Otherwise, I have only accolades for this primitive campground.
TravelerMid week, stayed 2 nights, free camping, tables, fire pits, beautiful lake and plenty of wildlife. We had this entire area to ourselves! Just nature, breathing, meditation….very healing and will be back. Hats off to Missouri, this is a beautiful hidden little campground!
ScoutYes, the price is right (free), but this was not a great experience. Might be fun if you are into fishing; I am not. I just wanted a quiet place to camp for a night on my route from New Mexico to Chicago. Sites are open and close together. Other campers were loud into the night. There are some large maintenance buildings blocking the view of the lake, so it's not particularly pretty at the campsites. Plus I came away with a ton of bug bites. Happy to get on my way after a not-so-restful night.
ScoutVault toilets, dump station with potable water, always mowed. Give it a try!
ScoutWe stayed here 2 nights in our converted bus. Reserved online and pulled in. This place was QUIET in late July. Nice trails to access the lake by foot or with the dogs. Clean bathhouses and campsites are some of the most well kept I've seen.

Neat little hidden campground with a neat back story. They owner bought it at auction just for a place to hang out with his friends but offers it for the public. He loves cash and will usually give you a discount if you pay in cash.
There is a bathhouse but he had to unlock it for us.
There is no store but you're at the edge of town so you can get anything you need. There's no wifi but the cell service is good.
If I recall, it's a 7 acre stocked pond. catch and release only.
GuidePassing through the area, and just needed a place for the night, so we came here. There is a beautiful lake, very spacious campsites. We just have a 30 amp Svc no water or sewer available yet. Apparently they will upgrade the campground next year (2026), and improve campground and resurface the area.
