      Bidwell Point Park

      Beautiful!

      Our first time here. It is beautiful! Quickly becoming one of our favorites. We are in site 13 right on the water! But be warned if you are not proficient in backing your camper sites 10-13 are probably not the best choice. You have to back down a hill quite a ways. This really is a beautiful well taken care of campground! You will not be disappointed

      Turner's mill

      Peaceful and scenic

      Spent 3 nights here and the area is beautiful! The mill and springs are soothing and crystal clear. The river is shallow enough to wade across and cool off in. Great spot if you are in the area. A few people on the river fishing and kayaking but no other campers that we saw while there.

      Bidwell Point Park

      Nice view but lacking shade in site 11.

      Site was a little hard to get into and a little tight with the pavillion there providing the only shade. T-mobile cell serve was very good.

      Richard's Canoe Rental & Campground

      Great Place with Homey Feel

      $10 per night, firewood, ice, and more amenities on site.  The owner is so nice.  His dog Lil' Dan also slept with me.  There is a horse next to the camp sites and it's just so beautiful.  Float launches from the campground, so convenient.  Close to Grand Gulf, Greer Spring, Mammoth Spring, and right on beautiful highway 19.  I will be back soon!

      Richard's Canoe Rental & Campground

      Nice spot to camp and the people are Great!!

      We stayed here to utilize their shuttle services for kayaking the 11 point. It was the week before the Memorial Day holiday and we had the place to ourselves! There are bathrooms available and hot showers, awesome people to chat with and a cool dog named Dan. We stayed in the primitive camping section but were informed there are also cabins available. Our site was just what we needed with a Rim fire pit and a couple of picnic tables. Richards definitely catered to us as we decided at the last minute to take another float and they jumped right in and made it happen for us. The convince of having your own vehicle waiting for you after a long day of floating is worth every dime you pay for it! I would highly recommend Richards for their shuttle services and camping area.

      Bidwell Point Park

      Peaceful

      Beautiful mature camp. Water abounds for all types of recreational activities. Campground has all the basic needs and is well maintained. Nice bathrooms and showers. Reservations only and if there has been a lot of rain some sites could be under water

      Henderson Park

      Closed due to flooding

      This is a wonderful small campground. Will not handle large rigs. Better suited to smaller trailers or tents. Right on the water so it is great if you have a kayaks or similar. Arkansas is experiencing flooding at this time and we were fortunate that our site was not flooded. We are gets more rain this evening and tonight so many sites here are closed. This is a COE campground and very well maintained. Flush toilets and garbage service but no showers. Not a problem because there are other CIE campgrounds very close and just keep your yellow tag up and just wave to host and drive on in. Mountain Home is close do all the shopping is close.

      Missing Showers

      This would be five stars except for lack of showers. Beautiful site right on beautiful lake. Short distance from town. Small park mature trees.

      Turner's mill

      Beautiful Area!

      Beautiful secluded area. Small (only 3 or 4 sites). River access and super close to stream/cave/waterfall area. Water from the cave is so fresh and clear! Truly a beautiful area!

    Guide to Moody

    Equestrian camping near Moody, Missouri provides access to the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River corridor with elevations ranging from 500-1,200 feet. The region features karst topography with numerous springs feeding the waterways, creating year-round fishing opportunities. Summer temperatures average 85-90°F with high humidity, while fall offers cooler camping conditions.

    What to do

    Fishing access: Turner's Mill offers prime trout fishing spots along clear river sections. "The river is shallow enough to wade across and cool off in. Great spot if you are in the area. A few people on the river fishing and kayaking but no other campers that we saw while there," notes Jared G.

    Kayaking routes: The Eleven Point River provides multiple launch points for paddlers. "This is a great place to start your 11 point river trip! Stop here to rent your canoes or kayaks and get dropped off wherever. You can drive to Greer Spring that is a spring that comes out of a cave," recommends Elisha P.

    Hiking trails: Irish Wilderness offers backcountry routes for equestrians and hikers seeking solitude. "Fun 2 day (three if you need it) hike through whites creek loop. Plan around hitting the two springs on both legs of the 20 mile loop. BRING A GPS! The trail is very easy to lose," advises Tony R.

    What campers like

    Natural springs: The region contains numerous limestone springs feeding clear pools. "You can visit Greer spring that is right down the road and is well worth the hike," mentions Clayton R. about Greer Crossing Recreation Area.

    Riverside sites: Campsites positioned directly along waterways provide easy access for fishing and swimming. "The camp hosts are very helpful and friendly. I hiked from McCormack Lake to here, which is only about 4 miles (unfortunately, though, some of the trail is quite overgrown)," reports Jake E.

    Historical features: Boze Mill Float Camp preserves remnants of early settlement infrastructure. "There is a beautiful blue spring coming out of the bottom of a pool formerly used to power Boze Mill," explains William M., noting the camp's "Several dedicated camp sites that each have fire ring, shepherds hook, picnic table."

    What you should know

    Limited facilities: Most horse-friendly camping areas near Moody offer primitive amenities. "Backwoods River camping...There is one pit toilet building," notes William M. about the basic facilities at Boze Mill Float Camp.

    Seasonal considerations: River conditions vary significantly throughout the year. "If there has been a lot of rain some sites could be under water," cautions N I. about area campgrounds.

    Navigation challenges: Trail markings can be inconsistent in wilderness areas. "The trail is very easy to lose and after 20+ miles you'll want the comfort of knowing where you have been/are going!" warns Tony R. about Irish Wilderness trails.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming spots: Several campgrounds feature child-friendly water access. "Beautiful secluded area. Small (only 3 or 4 sites). River access and super close to stream/cave/waterfall area. Water from the cave is so fresh and clear!" reports Kaylee D. about Turner's Mill.

    Group facilities: Rippee Conservation Area accommodates family gatherings with basic amenities. "Has great fishing, nice and peaceful and not well known not many campsites, I believe only four but it does have firepits and grills," states Glen T.

    Safety precautions: Parents should monitor water conditions near campsites. "I do suggest lots of bug spray. For some reason, I always get eaten up by mosquitos in this area," advises Charlotte B. about riverside camping.

    Tips from RVers

    Site access limitations: Many campgrounds near Moody have narrow, unpaved roads. "Site was a little hard to get into and a little tight with the pavillion there providing the only shade," notes Chris A. about Bidwell Point Park.

    Utility connections: Electric hookups vary between campgrounds. "We stayed in the primitive camping section but were informed there are also cabins available. Our site was just what we needed with a Rim fire pit and a couple of picnic tables," reports Stephanie W.

    Cell service: Mobile coverage is inconsistent throughout the region. "T-mobile cell serve was very good," mentions Chris A., though coverage can be limited in remote sections of the Eleven Point River corridor where many horse-friendly camping options exist.
