Beautiful Small Campground Along A Wild Trout Stream

This is a beautiful Forest Service Campground located 13 miles south of Rolla Missouri. There are six 30 amp electric sites and the remainder are dry camps. There are pit toilets and water spickets located throughout the campground. The campground is open seasonally from about April until the end of October. It is situated along the little Piney River which offers good fishing for wild rainbow trout. There is also a good swimming hole for the warmer months. A nice short walkway leads from the picnic area to Lane Spring which pumps out sounds of gallons of cold water daily. In the day use area there are two picnic shelters and a picnic area.

There is a little bit of Highway noise from u.s. 63 but it is not overwhelming. There are almost always sites available here however demand for the six electric sites is high. 50% off with senior or disabled veteran pass.

This is a great spot to spend a few days or to overnight on your travels.
