    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several cabin options exist near Sturgeon, Missouri, with Mark Twain State Park offering some of the most well-maintained accommodations. Cabins at Puma Campground feature air conditioning, basic furnishings, and private outdoor spaces with fire pits. One camper noted, "The cabin is simple and clean. It has air conditioning, which is needed in Missouri in August. Cabin is private with fire pit and picnic table at the front which faces near the woods." Cedar Creek Resort & RV Park provides lakefront cabins with more comprehensive amenities including full kitchens and bathroom facilities, while Turner Katy Trail Shelter offers basic cabin lodging for hikers and cyclists along the trail with access to shared shower facilities.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Mark Twain State Park cabins typically require guests to bring their own bedding and have no running water inside the units, with bathrooms and showers located a short walk away. Cedar Creek's cabins offer more amenities with some directly overlooking water. According to a recent visitor, "The cabins are spectacular and right on the water! Free rentals on pontoon boats, kayaks, and paddle boats." Camp Takimina provides a more secluded cabin experience with access to hiking trails and creek exploration. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited.

    Most cabins include basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties—Mark Twain State Park cabins have refrigerators but lack cooking facilities beyond outdoor fire pits, while Cedar Creek Resort cabins offer more complete kitchen setups. Campground stores at some locations sell firewood, ice, and basic provisions. Ray Behrens Campground includes a market for essential supplies. Campers planning extended stays should bring groceries from Columbia or other nearby towns, as rural options near some cabin sites are limited to convenience stores with minimal selection.

      Likely our new regular spot

      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. Great shade, almost no slope to pads, all power options, great water pressure, and a sewer hookup. Plenty of rocked lounging or tent space with each site. Good size fire pits, lantern post, and an aluminum picnic table on a concrete pad. All the sites have enough empty space in between that most campgrounds would have stuck another site in-between. Restroom/shower house very close by and it's regularly cleaned. 2 trails to lakeside access are close by too.

      Puma Campground — Mark Twain State Park

      Wonderful Cabin Stay

      We rented cabin A for 4 days for our summer vacation. We couldn’t have been happier. The cabin is simple and clean. 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. Bathrooms and shower houses were clean and a short walk.

      Puma Campground — Mark Twain State Park

      Pristine

      Pure, pristine, well maintained. Easy access to the lake. The campsites were level, clean, and spacious. I didn't think I'd like the gravel pad or concrete block for trailer & picnic tables, but they made the set up & tear downs easy. The screen room fit perfectly around the picnic table block. The campground bathrooms were clean and the shower temperature & water pressure were phenomenal. The park featured a playground, boat ramp, and a fish cleaning station. Everything we hoped it would be & more. Wished we had booked a longer stay!

      Mark Twain Lake Jellystone Park and The Water Zone

      Pricy but great fun

      I found the camping area to be tight but what a fun place to be. Being after Labor Day the water par was closed, but looked like fun. Mini golf was booming. They had nice pavilion areas for gatherings. There was also a large swimming pool. Several of the sites were for seasonal but were very well kept. The camping cabins looked nice. As you came into the resort there was a well equipped store and a huge banquet center. They had two good sized ponds for fishing. Amenities included cable and WiFi. Not wilderness camping but fun for kids.

      Hickory Ridge Campground

      Nice Campground, Convenient Location

      We stayed only one night here while passing through. Campground’s new owner is very kind and friendly. He escorted us to our site which was tucked away under some nice trees.

      Though campground is close to interstate, noise was minimal (I think because of the trees).

      Pretty flowers throughout campground. Bathrooms with a shower and laundry room. Salt water pool, nice grassy area. Some sites had fire pits and picnic tables but not all.

      Would definitely stay here again.

The Cedar Creek cabins feature electricity, air conditioning, and refrigerators, making them comfortable for summer visits. Puma Campground offers simple, clean cabins with front porches, electricity, and refrigerators but no plumbing. "We rented cabin A for 4 days for our summer vacation. We couldn't have been happier. The cabin is simple and clean. It has air conditioning, which is needed in Missouri in August," noted one visitor about their Mark Twain State Park stay. Ray Behrens Campground also provides cabin accommodations with partial lake views.

    Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking supplies. While basic furnishings are typically included, bathrooms are often located in nearby shower houses rather than within the cabins themselves. One camper mentioned, "The cabins are basic but I loved the front porch. They have electricity and a fridge but no bathroom."

Camp Takimina allows pets at their cabin sites, while policies vary at other locations. Cabins near the water tend to book quickly, especially those at Ray Behrens with partial lake views and Cedar Creek Resort where some cabins are positioned directly on the water.
