Best Dispersed Camping near Wildwood, MO

Lone Spring Trail offers primitive dispersed camping in Missouri's forest lands near Wildwood. The site features several designated tent areas and metal fire pits but no amenities like drinking water, toilets or trash services. Fires are permitted and the area allows pets. Alcohol consumption is permitted at Lone Spring, unlike some other nearby dispersed sites.

Brazil Creek Camping Area, located further from Wildwood, provides a more developed dispersed camping experience with vault toilets available. The area accommodates both tent and RV camping with drive-in and walk-in access options. A visitor commented, "Good access to the Berryman Trail. There is a creek running along the camping area with a road along the opposite side." The surrounding region offers extensive recreational opportunities with miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

Both locations enforce the standard 14-day camping limit typical of dispersed sites in Missouri's public lands. Brazil Creek experiences variable cell coverage with some carriers working better than others. Campers should prepare for potentially aggressive insects during summer months and bring all necessary supplies as both locations are remote from services. One camper noted, "Make sure you stop in Sullivan or Bourbon, MO for supplies. This site is pretty remote from any services."
