"W stayed here over the 4th of July holiday, at the Pittsburg campground at the state park. Loop 3 campsite 317. I loved the trail to the lake!"
"This loop has been chosen due to its proximity to the bathrooms and the playground, these are key when having a 4-year-old. This loop is located in the woods with nice spacing between sites."
$14 - $26 / night
"Originally built for park volunteers, we enjoyed 50/30 amp service, water and sewer with amazing views of the lake. The rest of the sites have water and electric."
"Sites near the dump station can be very aromatic. No swim beach but you can access the water straight from the rocky shore. A lot of people tie their boats to shore below their campsite."
"The Pittsburg campground at Pomme de Terre State Park is awesome. The host was super friendly and helpful. The sites are all gorgeous, especially if you can get one right by the lake."
"This park is park of Pomme De Terre lake and 1 of 2 state parks on the lake, Pittsburgh and Hermitage."
$14 - $200 / night
"Clean, well kept, campsites are semi private but close to the water. Not a long distance from bathrooms or the swimming beach."
"We where located at spot 29 on the campsite. It was amazing only reason for not getting a 5 star was, we had a group that was not camping show up to do some night swimming at the beach (9:00-9:30)."
"everyone is very pleasant and I felt comfortable letting the kids ride their bikes around, a great presence from the park rangers !"
"Lots of fishing activities here on the lake. Would stay longer if we had the time."
"Behind us was the old road which was perfect for the kids to play on and ride bikes. The lake was just past that, and the view was wonderful. The bathrooms were clean (but hot) and not too far."
"Beautiful views form the campsite— tent camping on a peninsula in surrounded by Pomme de Terre lake. Check in was a little confusing, and we later found out the shop is closed for the season."
"This state park is one worth a stop when near Springfield. I drove north toward this park to enjoy something a bit different and found it to be very peaceful during a weekday. "
"A trout fisher dream, as one of Missouri’s 5 hacherys are here. Fun for this kids to see the amazing amount of fish."
$14 - $30 / night
"Most sites have view of lake and well shaded. Very nice boat ramp and courtesy dock, but no place to keep boat in over night and no dedicated swim area. Good facilities, including a shower house."
$16 - $50 / night
"There is a well maintained running/walking trail that is accessible from the campground and provides an easy way to walk through the adjacent woods. Very good ATT cell service."
TravelerLittle spots. I'm in a teardrop and it's tight. Tents would be fine. Vehicles under twenty feet should be good. Quiet and peaceful and close to the highway for amenities.
ScoutThird time we have stopped here, and the third time was just as good as the first. David is doing a great job taking care of all us Happy Campers. It's not the biggest park but has excellent facilities that make up for its size.
TravelerLarge grass area available for tents or campers. No specific camp locations. No fire rings or picnic tables. Pit toilets are as expected.
Shallow muddy water but it does attract wildlife. A bit of road noise but tolerable. Perfect for our one night stay.
ScoutExcellent camping conditions close to the river that we float down in a canoe each year. I'll continue to do this every year until I absolutely can't anymore!
ScoutLoved camping there and floating down the river! Will continue to camp here in the future!
ScoutSpend a couple days here it was busy people were nice it was quiet shower houses were clean bathrooms are clean staff is nice that's a nice place to stay for visiting the Springfield area definitely stay again. There is a train that goes by once or twice a day, but not enough to really make a deal
RangerWe visited in mid-march before spring really started. It is an honor system for your campground. Stop by the front office and grab an envelope. Drive around and pick your campsites and then fill out the envelope. Put some money or check in there and put it back in the Dropbox. The campground even in the ending of winter is still beautiful. It is wide and spacious with plenty of campsites and if you're lucky you can get campsites all along the lake for wonderful views.
ScoutUpon entering, you can feel the magic created when human creativity meets divine inspiration. Warmly greeted with a smile and a tour of this wonderful retreat, I knew I’d be a frequent guest. This place has everything from axe throwing to free coffee and the property is engineered and planned very nicely. This is my new favorite camping spot!
