Perfect getaway camping location that is close to all sorts of activities! Ride your ATV's straight from campground to miles of ATV trails. Go hiking at one of the many beautiful hiking trails close by. 20 mile drive north to access Buffalo River, and only an hour and a half drive away is beautiful Branson, MO. You will have WIFI, sewer connection, water, and 30/50 AMP service at this beautiful camping spot.
Travelling north on Hwy. 7 from Russellville, you will pass through a small town called Sand Gap. After going through Sand Gap in about 4.5 miles you will come to a turn to the right to get on Hwy. 123. Take this right turn and go about a half mile. You will pass the Lurton fire station on your right and the next left after you pass the fire station is Lurton Loop. Take this left and the campground is on your left.
Travelling south from Jasper on Hwy. 7 you will pass the Whodathunk It Convenience store on your right. After you pass this store you will go aproximately one mile and come to a turn to the left that is a cutoff road to Hwy. 123. This is Lurton Loop. Take this left and the campground will be about a tenth of a mile down on the right.
Experience.... they show no common courtesy towards other fisherman... that's for damn sure. A 'me-first state of mind' with these folks. Definitely wouldn't give any of my money to help find fish after seeing how they run their business on the water
Ray is a fantastic guide and I highly recommend him. He has put me on some amazing spoonbill, with the biggest being a 54 pounder. Fishing for spoonbill is unlike most types of fishing, but Ray is a good teacher and knows where the fish are. I've caught fish in all 50 states and have caught trophies in 40 (and counting!), and Ray was one of my favorite guys to fish with.
