In Alton, MO, take State Rt. 19 north 9.4 miles to campground sign (Forest Rt. 3188). Turn right onto Rt. 3188 and proceed to campground. From Winona, MO take Hwy 19 south 17 miles to Forest Road 3188, just north of Eleven Point Bridge. A paved road leads to the recreation area.
Been camping here for fishing trips for the last 10 years. New camp hosts this year (I do miss Gabe and Lori) and they are continuing to do good work in keeping things clean and stocked.
The Camp Hosts, Gabe and Lori are great. The campsite is immaculate, we will be back in Spring.
Great campground with roomy sites and good privacy between them. Two pit bathrooms; one in the campground and between the campground and the boat ramp. Lots of parking and day use picnic area nearby the boat ramp. Trailhead for the Ozark Trail is near the well water spigot in the day use area. It heads across the bridge to the spring trail. Gorgeous river.
Loved this camp ground. The camp hosts are amazing. They keep the whole place super clean. They were super helpful and full of information. Very pleasant to talk to. This was one of my better camping experiences. The river was maybe 50 yards from our camp site. (Site #5). Beautiful water. I highly recommend it.
Best site yet. Right next to 11 forks river, small cement boat ramp 2 minutes walk from camp. Campsites are very well kept by the hosts. River is amazing, we kayak fished and caught Pickerels(Pike) and Rainbow trout. I highly recommend!! I will be back!
