Hawker Point Campground is a shady campground located on Stockton Lake in the scenic Ozark Mountains of southwestern Missouri. The lake and surrounding landscape offer countless recreational opportunities along its nearly 300 miles of shoreline, providing visitors with many ways to explore one of the most sought-after natural areas in the state.
Boating is always a popular pastime at the lake. Sail boating is especially popular and the lake hosts several races each year. The facility provides a boat ramp for easy access to the water. The waters of Stockton Lake are home to several species of fish including small and largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, walleye, catfish and sunfish, making it an ideal area for anglers. Several trails wind around the lake shore and through the landscape. The Stockton Lake Equestrian Trail continues approximately 15 miles between Hawker Point and Orleans Trail Campgrounds.
The land surrounding the lake contains hundreds of acres of native prairie grasses, rolling hills and thick forests that turn crimson in autumn. An abundance of wildlife lives both in and around the water, including wild turkey, great blue heron, deer and bald eagles. Visitors can learn about the lake's bald eagles by attending an annual eagle-watching event during the winter.
There are three full-service marinas located around the lake, which offer a wide range of services and supplies, including boat rentals, fuel, fishing tackle and restaurants.

Bar-K Wrangler Camp is a primitive horse camp, with limited picnic tables and fire rings and one vault toilet. Parking to accommodate stock trailers and towing vehicles. Bar-K is located on the west bank of Swan Creek, serves as a Trailhead for the Swan Creek Trail and is open year round. Pack in/Pack out garbage. Click Here for a Recreational Opportunity Guide about this site. For information on the Swan Creek Trail.
There are five primitive camping areas. One is for groups by special use permit only and one is only open October 1 through January 15. The main campground has 51 sites with 26 of them able to accommodate trailers. Camping is all on a first come first served basis. Lead Mine Conservation Area is in northeastern Dallas County, 40 miles south of Lake of the Ozarks, 12 miles north of Bennett Springs, five miles east of Tunas, and 21 miles northeast of Buffalo. The area provides about two miles of Niangua River frontage and has a 3.5-mile stretch of Jakes Creek running through it. The area also has several wildlife watering ponds and seven springs and is composed mainly of forest land. The Conservation Department purchased the original 600 acres for the Lead Mine Conservation Area in 1965 through a University of Missouri land grant. Additional land was acquired with Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson funding, and the state conservation sales tax, increasing the area to 7,761 acres. During early settlement in the late 1800s and early 1900s, some lead mining did take place near the area. However, evidence of this is hard to find. Many people made their living and raised their families on small farms that now make up Lead Mine Conservation Area. The town of Lead Mine, just one-quarter mile west, is a small community known for its country atmosphere, hand-made goods and horse drawn buggies. Lead Mine Conservation Area contains many excellent examples of dolomite glade communities, oak-hickory uplands, and clear running springs. Deer, turkey, raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, coyote, and many other small animals and birds are commonly seen from the gravel roads and forest trails. Wildlife habitat management includes the creation of watering ponds and manipulation of fields within the forest to provide added food sources. Timber harvesting is also an important element in habitat management. It produces forage and cover for forest wildlife. There are five primitive camping areas. One is for groups by special use permit only and one is only open October 1 through January 15. The main campground has 51 sites with 26 of them able to accommodate trailers.

No amenities other than composting toilets. There are a few tent sites along the road and there is plenty of grassy area near the creek for RVs/trailers. This is a horse camp with plenty of evidence, but it was only us and a couple of other tent campers.
The creek was obviously spring fed, crystal clear and had a gravelly bottom. There were plenty of places to get in the water...understanding that this is horse camp.
The place was well maintained and mowed and it was super peaceful and quiet. The main annoyance was some trash in fire pits along the creek.
If you consider this as a waypoint, two things:
1. There is about a mile of dusty, gravel road that is a little rough.
2. We had great T-Mobile 10 miles south, but it dropped to zero by the time we drove into camp.
Traveler
Found this place on a whim through Missouri. Was looking for dispersed camping and not much popped up in the area. So campgrounds were next up.
This place already had a few good reviews, so I called them up. Immediately knew this was going to be the place. Super nice folks, clear communication, and even showed us the grounds upon arrival.
Lots of amenities for just staying a single night. Everything you need and want in a campground, but not a KOA or Yogi packed site.
Overall 5/5, cheap, friendly, abundance of things to do, and quiet (when I stayed).
P.S. Depending on which site you choose… the cost varies, but still cheap. There is lighting, power outlets, tables, fire rings and outdoor grill, along with many other fun child-friendly things.
TravelerOur little family of 2 humans & 3 dogs had THE BEST first stop in our adventures. We are terrible planners but The B Berry Farm welcomed us late at night and last minute. The whole B Berry family are great people. They helped us get in and told us all the fun & exciting things around the farm to do. The clubhouse is so convenient for any camper with supplies, games, lawn chairs to watch the sunset! Even if you aren’t going to see the lakes around (we didn’t) there is plenty to entertain you right on the Farm. There is an abundance of wildflowers, walking trails, chill zones, a water park, outdoor solar shower, bugs, a friggin Berry field. WITH PINK BLUEBERRIES!!!! They taste like cotton candy — you have to ask about them. There’s a store of goodies that we bought from on the website; we got some Mint Tea, chapsticks, massage oil, soaps, and deodorant because we’re total hippies and won’t wear store bought —- all smell AMAZING and taste AMAZING and feel AMAZING. Highly recommend. The weather was beautiful the whole time; bees buzzing, grasshoppers that look like a hybrid of butterfly’s, butterflies that fly in wolf packs. We left full hearted, happy bellied, and so thankful for The B Berry Family.
ScoutTeresa was very attentive, guided us to our drive in site, gave us several options, explained the features, gave us a map, and was cordial. Also the price is way below average. Beautiful view of the stars since it’s out of town. Lots of wildlife and birds.
It was early in the season, but still, it would have been nice if the grass in the site had been mowed. Toilet and shower are more rustic than I am used to. But they have showers!
ScoutWe were passing through and just finished a 12 hour drive when we arrived. The owners are friendly and really want make the camp a nice experience. We stretched our legs on the trails and got a very peaceful nights rest.
TravelerStayed one night, passing through. Remote, but nice and quiet. Rustic potty and a shower. Teresa was very nice. Definitely would stay there again.
GuideQuaint Berry farm accommodating RVs. Host met us with welcoming gifts. Our site had electricity and water. Not all sites do. There is clean public restrooms and a solar hot water shower. They have a game room available for all to use. They also supplied wood for a fire. They supplied s’mores kit as part of the welcome kit. There is a water cube that even the dogs enjoyed on this very hot day. We picked fresh blueberries and enjoyed the walk thru the gardens.
GuideTeresa greeted me B with a smoked kit and complimentary lip balm. The solar showers are adorable, the whole camp ground is nice. There are trails and wood for Campfires. The honey berry hideout was my site it came equipped with a grill Andrea picnic table as well as a campfire and there is wood for fires around the property, I There is rec room area that I was able to use as a charging station. They have lots of little personal touches and best of all it was affordable, I can't say enough about how sweet they were. It was a pleasure to stay there. I wish there were more campgrounds like this around
GuideStayed here on a roadtrip and although it is kinda far from a main highway, it's so worth it. Teresa is such a sweet host and the facilities they have built are beautiful. (The cedar shower smells so good!) We even got to pick a complimentary lip balm and the strawberry shortcake is amazing. Each spot is tucked away and very private, with a firepit, firewood and logs or homemade seats for you. Just keep an eye out and spray for ticks, I found one crawling on my foot while getting ready for bed. Just wish I would've came with berries better in season, I'll have to come back!
ScoutI went here with a group of friends looking for a free campsite that had enough space.
This place is great! When we arrived a few people were sitting in the creek so we moved further up stream and found a nice site with easy creek access. We were likely the only group for at least 2 square miles.
GuideI stayed at the Pullin on over campsite, and it was nice. They supplied wood and were even nice enough to bring me some free samples of the lip balm and fragrances they sell. The site was pretty out in the open, and there was nothing too special about it. Overall I had a nice stay!
GuideBrendan and Teresa are an adotable young couple who are transforming a large area in the midst of Missouri farm country into a small black- and blueberry farm that includes a small RV camp. They also make and sell natural products (soaps, balms, etc.). They have constructed a cute rec house with darts, corn hole, even a little reading nook. There is a swing on the big tree in front of the rec house as well as horseshoe pits. Dispersed around the berry fields are hidden firepit areas for guests to enjoy. And you can pick berries for your breakfast!
They have built an exquisite shower room with cedar walls and river rock flooring, and there are bathrooms for guests as well.
Brendan and Teresa could not have been more accommodating. They presented us with a goody bag with s'mores fixings and a sample lip balm from their product line. And Brendan helped us with hose repair parts when our water hose jammed on the reel and we had to cut it off! First rate customer service.
The drawback for us is that (1) it is FAR from the main highway so not convenient for one-night stays and (2) the one site suitable for large RVs is not very level. We have a 40' Renegade Verona and it took 6 tries to find a place near the hookups where our auto-level would find a good position (no "excessive slope" error).
Also, we knew from the start there was only 30 amp service and no sewer, so we can't complain about that.
But for smaller RVs and boondockers, this is a charming getaway for families and anyone who enjoys getting away from it all.
TravelerThis place is wonderful and the owners truly care and do a great job! The farm is beautiful and trails are a wonderful walk through some beautiful nature. Me and my sister stayed for my birthday and had a blast. There is a bathroom on site and beautiful campsites with all that is needed for a great stay! Would recommend to anyone who wants a unique experience and to support local business with wonderful owners!
TravelerGreat spot to camp, very remotes. Great owners and hospitality. They had the fire already started for me as I arrived later in the night!
ScoutI rarely ever leave reviews but this place deserves it. I called early in the day to make a reservation for the cheapest spot. When I arrived, they offered to upgrade me because of the availability for the same price. The farm is beautiful. Teresa and Brandon met me and gave me supplies to make s’mores as well as a ton of fire wood and hay to get the fire going. There was no road noise and the neighbors were so far away that I didn’t know anyone was there until I took my dog exploring around the property. Thanks for everything guys, my stay was great.

This a primitive horse camp that is not far off the highway. It is far enough that it is or can be quiet. It is also great for star gazing, hiking, mountain biking and trail rides. Swan Creek runs along side the camp so you will need to be aware of possible flash floods if you are camped right next to the creek. There are picnic table, fire ring and a pit toilet. NO WATER

ScoutHosts were awesome! We had a later checkin and they had the campfire with plenty of wood going on our arrival. They also had a small tiki torch burning and a s’mores starter package! Will get sample products today and we’re extending our stay.
GuideThere is some good hiking here. There is a dispersed spot and a formal campground. The formal campground is the better spot to stay at
ScoutGreat hosts, beautiful spot, was set up right next to the blackberries.
TravelerMust be able to disperse. Very quiet but fairly goes to interstate. This was a great over night for us on our way back east. Finally no interstate noise! Owners are wonderful. We were able to even pick blackberries. If you have a trailer, use a spot near gate. Will still be quiet.
ScoutNice people. Great prices, they gave us a little s'mores starter kit. And a sample of the soap and chapstick she makes.
They said my kids could pick some berries to eat.
I called for the $6 camping, but ended staying at the $10.63 spot because it was the only place with shade.
The bathrooms are inconveniently located on the other side of the farm. We are self sufficient, so we didn't need to use them.
They had a fun little Cube sprinkler for the kids to play in and Horseshoes game.
I had to sign a waiver.
ScoutPitched a tent here in mid August 2021. We rolled in late, close to midnight, and Teresa and Brandon were very accommodating. Set us up with an excellent campsite at the edge of the blueberries. We happened to land on an unseasonably cool night in August. Our campsite was among the trees, but with big open views of the sky. On a clear night you're far enough away from city lights to see lots of stars. We'll be back!
ScoutMy girlfriend and I stayed here during our road-trip through MO. The owners Brandon and Theresa were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. They gave us a tour of the farm when we arrived and let us pick out which camp site we wanted. The camp site had everything we needed including a fire pit, grill, picnic table, water spout and bath room nearby. We enjoyed picking black berries right next to our campsite to have with breakfast in the morning. I highly recommend staying here with your family or significant other!
Scout
Great place to camp out and have a float trip. The next time we go we will be bringing our own grill as they did not have many options on site. The staff was friendly and helpful.
ScoutEasy parking with convenient hookups. Primitive camping would be awesome because your closer to the river.
GuideWe love this campground. The staff is great and the campground is beautiful. It offers direct access to the Niangua River, and it is only a short drive from Bennett Springs State Park, where you can fly fish and pull trout from the river from dawn until dusk.
The float trips on the Niangua are gorgeous. I recommend going on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
Our most recent trip was in the beginning of June. It was a little muddy. Our fall trips to this location were absolutely gorgeous.
Guide
I have been hiking here twice but haven’t camped yet. The trails and the river make for some great scenery. Be wary of the water level, this can impact any hiking you might be looking to do, so be ready.
