Pelican Point State Rec Area

Two primitive campsites sit alongside a Missouri River boat ramp, accessible only by walking from the parking area. The path to the sites shows wear, though the grass receives regular mowing. A vault toilet serves both camping spots, which carry a $15 nightly fee according to posted signage.

The setup functions more as a basic river access point than a developed recreation area. One reviewer noted another camper staying overnight, suggesting the sites do see occasional use despite their minimal facilities. Campers should expect no amenities beyond the toilet and recently maintained grass areas, making this spot suitable primarily for those needing simple overnight river access rather than a full camping experience.

Primitive

This campground is conveniently located at a boat ramp. It has 2 primitive campsites and a vault toilet. The campsites had signs that said $15. The path to the campsites was in rough shape, but the grass on the campsites appeared recently mowed.

Not really much

This is really not a state park or camping spot. There is a boat ramp to the Missouri river, a parking lot, and about 2 primitive camping spots. There was a person there staying when I drove by but nothing really there.
