"You can't see the Lake from sites and it's a very long walk or drive to the beach. There is an outdoor amphitheater and nice hiking trails."
"We chose this campground bc it wasn’t as busy as others and there are some nice riding trails for bikes. We explored a lot of the woods and came out with a lot of ticks, both lonestar and deer."
$24 - $30 / night
"The whole park doesn't match the awesomeness of site 97 and the few around it, but the end of this loop is almost perfect."
"This is the most common place my friends and family camp at for Mark Twain Lake. Very clean and well kept. The kids bike around on the pavement and play in the little park."
$24 - $45 / night
"It has air conditioning, which is needed in Missouri in August (it was sooo hot). Cabin is private with fire pit and picnic table at the front which faces near the woods."
"The designated spots feel secluded since they are bordered by forest. We got a spot right off the water and woke up to the sound of it in the morning."
$18 - $30 / night
"Hiking trails and easy access to Mark Twain lake."
"The lake is beautiful...if you can see it. We have five sons and one of our musts for a campground is easily accesible water to play in. This is NOT the campground for that."
$24 - $30 / night
"Used their dump station and filled the water tank as we exited the park. Would recommend & would stay there again"
"There is access to the lake from the campground, there is no beach. We spent on night during the week in mid May and there were only 5 campers in the whole park. We had the place to ourselves."
"Another cool find in Missouri. Lake in Conservation Area. Doesn't offer much but it was a bit out of the way. Campground was free. Sites are close together. Some spots more shaded than others."
"Lake with free paddle boats(do need life preservers) and fish hatchery across the street. Free potable water and dump station behind ranger station."
$20 - $299 / night
"Great family location and for expanding children's knowledge"
$28 - $34 / night
"Just a short walk from the Mississippi River and downtown Hannibal. They have two caves you can tour along with a winery on site."
"Fortunate that we carry an adjustable step for coach entry. Showers and restrooms were good, but shower curtains need to be replaced. Great water. Works great !"
$30 / night
"Didn't bring children, but noticed a playground near the campsites. Decently spaced campsites and vault toilets. Lake was beautiful."
"A'll sights near water were mostly sun. Beautiful. Friendly. Fishing, boating"
$14 - $27 / night
"Super close to hiking trails and the shower house was clean. Mostly non RV people here which made it a bit quieter."
"The sites on outside of loop in the Coyote loop are better in general. They have no view of lake though, just glimmers. Two raccoons popped out at me (site 45) from a hollow tree."
LegendHannibal is "someone's fading memory of a town," but you can tell it used to be a cool place. The Mark Twain history part of it is cool! The cave is fantastic with history galore and a reasonable price. The gift shop is also very very nice. The people checking you in and running the tours are great and very pleasant. The campground is under a nice canopy of oaks and is in a valley between two hillsides that contain caves. The place is very quiet and has a nice feel to it. The whole campground is gravel except for sites f1 through f12 which have grass and are bordered by a crystal clear rocky creek. Two older and smaller playgrounds, a picnic shelter, laundry, and a couple of community corn hole boards. Highly recommend a site under the trees along the creek in the C or F section. I think f10 is probably the best site. We enjoyed our stay in f2.
RangerBeautiful area, but honestly not sure if any campsite is truly level. Be prepared. Like the forest feel of the sites, with found coverage between the sites, giving a nice sense of privacy.
ScoutWe used to stay here once or twice a season, and it was one of our favorite campgrounds. Haven't been able to make it back to Hannibal for a few years. Went this past weekend. The "premium pull-through" spots are a joke. All gravel, way too close together. No way we could have had a fire that close to our camper or our neighbors. We ended up calling the office and moving to "F' section. The office personnel were very friendly. Still close together, but did have grass. In the older portion of the campground, they have changed some sites to make room for more, now it's way too crowded as well. A lot of the sites are pretty short and over half are all gravel.
ScoutVery clean campground. Long paved (asphalt) sites. Picnic tables and fire rings at the RV sites. The site close to the lake are not full hookups. The others are.
GuideStayed for 1.5 weeks. Stay at lake for three days, established area with vault toilet and gravel parking. Has boat ramp and fishing docks. It has been a windy month so I relocated farther up hill to nestle in more with the trees. There are several equestrian campsites +20 throughout the park. Also a shooting range centrally located in the park.
GuideHad a great time spent a 4th of July here as well as many other days,over the years. You can see fireworks 🎆🎇 for Miles all around .
TravelerFairly nice conservation area, about 10 camping sites with picnic tables and fire rings, vault bathrooms aren’t very clean but over all a decent getaway.
TravelerSuper well maintained conservation area, 5 camp sites with fire pits and picnic tables. Several ponds and a larger lake but it was currently being repaired so it’s very low.
TravelerVery small parking lot that is supposed to be a designated camping area, not ideal unless car camping. Has nice lakes with boat ramps but that’s about it.
