A forested campground near fishing, and hiking.
Outdoors options concentrate on lake- and forest-based recreation: fishing, boating and hunting are popular right from the John C. Briscoe area (bass is the most frequently targeted species), while the wider Mark Twain Lake region also supports hiking, horseback riding, water sports, environmental-education programming, historic and cultural sites and visitor-center resources.
Length limits vary by campsite.

“We love this campground. The site is always nice and clean and the facilities are plenty adequate for our needs. We’ve been doing our annual group camping trip here for 3 or 4 years now and I plan to again next year. ”
“Had a great weekend, everything was very nice, only negative was the water faucet/fountain being shut off ( I think the fountain could be off or blocked and the faucet be left on) Bath houses were very clean and nice. ”
