Description
State Park
Harry S Truman State Park
There are 42 basic campsites in Thorny Ridge. The pads are between 47 and 60 feet in length and the four family sites have an extra pad between 52 and 55 feet long and an additional electric hookup. You will be close to the lake no matter which site you choose at Thorny Ridge because this campground is on a peninsula that juts right out onto the water. In fact, the boat ramp is at the end of the road by campsite 157. There is a parking lot at the boat ramp large enough to accommodate a trailer as well as an RV for the day while you take your boat out for the day. You will find the shower house, restrooms, and laundry facilities right in the middle of the campsite by the camp host site 166. The water, showers, and RV dump station are turned off during the off-season so bring your own water during that time. Pets are welcome but they have to be on a leash or restrained at all times.
