Within Mark Twain National Forest, Telleck Branch Primitive Campground provides hike-in access to backcountry camping along the Ozark Trail. Located three miles north of Big River, this free campsite sits at a creek crossing where multiple tent sites can accommodate 5-10 people. The creek supplies water that requires purification before drinking. Campers must follow Leave No Trace principles, including digging catholes at least 100 feet from water sources and camping 100 feet from the trail. The site serves hikers traveling the Ozark Trail corridor, though many continue south to Big River Primitive Campground for better positioning.
