Mark Twain Natl. Forest, MO

Looking to head to this area for a meetup with some friends in June next year. Any recommendations for good camping spots in this area?

We will be 3 5ers all about 35ft. Looking for full hookups and things to do.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
  • I can’t help you. I just found this place recently on the internet and have put it on our list of places we want to go.
  • Mark Twain National Forest is really really big. It more or less starts in St Louis and runs diagonally down to the s.w. part of Missouri. It drifts over I44 for a part but mostly stays south of it. There are some good spots to see from St. Louis to Branson, Hermon south.

    St. Louis of course has the Budweiser Brewery. Herman is an old German town to look into https://www.lazydaycampground.com/ this campground is a great place to call home when visiting Herman. Although Herman does have a good looking city park, I have never stayed there.

    Then theres Branson with all sorts of things to do. We have alot of great RV parks here and really to many to mention. The COE is a great park as is Americas Best. With three of you, you may want to make reservations early.

    As for whats in between its really hard to say.
    Come and enjoy
  • Look on this forum under Truck Campers. Posted by NRALIFR titled " I went camping with 5 girls". It's what I was referencing on the Keystone forum.
  • We camped at Sam A Baker State Park in June and really liked it. Sites were level and well-spaced with plenty of trees for shade.
