By far the best campground we have been too. The campground is very clean and well kept. The campground staff very friendly and helpful. Wonderful folks. We had a great time there. It was quiet at night and would be great place to take your family. Even with others riding their four wheelers (it is a recreational riding area) it's still nice and quiet. The water is nearby and campsites are spac... By far the best campground we have been too. The campground is very clean and well kept. The campground staff very friendly and helpful. Wonderful folks.

Even with others riding their four wheelers (it is a recreational riding area) it's still nice and quiet. The water is nearby and campsites are spacious. We will return to this location. No cell phone service makes it even better!😁

A great campgrounds in mark twain national forest some with electric, lots of 4 wheel buggies but very respectful of other campers. If you go avoid dirt river rd as gps sends visitors there's paved river rd just north of gravel rd about 14 paved miles to campground

Nice river to swim or fish. Campsites need more shade. Too many dirt roads around the area. The closest store if you forget something is a dollar general, no less than a half hour away. But it is a quiet campground. Bathrooms get really hot in the summer time, especially the women’s side.
