OZARK TRAIL: I backpacked 50 miles during spring break on the Ozark Trail between Council Bluff Lake and Johnson Shutins State park. When I planned the trip the only information for camping that was available were regulations requiring you to camp 100 feet from the trail.

I have to admit that the Ozark Trail Association provides amazing resources about the Ozark Trail but they fail to describe what has become primitive backcountry campsites all along the trail. Many of these sites are marked on the detailed National Geographic maps provided for free by the Association as water holes, but they are also clearly set up as campsites as well.

Make sure you bring a water purifier. It is some of the best tasting water I have ever had.

TELLECK BRANCH: Telleck Branch is the closest back country campsite south of Council Bluff Lake. It is three miles north of Big River. If you are hiking south from Council Bluff Lake I highly suggest that you keep going and hit Big River if you are able. If you can't go any further, there is a creek with water and a number of sites to pitch a tent. I can fit 5-10 people. Tip: Dig your cat hole before you go to sleep and make sure it is at least 100 feet from the water.
