Lightfoot Landing is a smaller campground compared to neighboring park areas, making it a more quiet and peaceful location for boating and fishing on Pomme de Terre Lake, known as the ''Gem of the Ozarks.''
The lake is well known for fishing, with one of the highest catch ratios in the country. Species include bass, catfish, walleye and crappie, but the lake is probably best known for its muskie, which is stocked each fall.
Both canoeing and power boating are popular on the lake, with a good amount of water skiing and other water activities taking place.
Lightfoot Landing has 29 sites with electric and water hookups, including one that is accessible. Non-electric sites include RV sites, one tent-only site, and two group campsites. Both group campsites fit up to 50 guests.
Additional amenities include a shower house, boat ramp with courtesy dock, dump station, playground and picnic shelter.
The Pomme de Terre River and Lindley Creek are the major sources for Pomme de Terre Lake, which spans 7,790 sparkling surface acres, with 113 miles of shoreline.
One of the best dirt tracks in the country and is located down 83 highway in Wheatland. Also nearby is the Pomme de Terre Multipurpose Trail, located in Bolivar Landing.
From Springfield, MO, go north on Highway 13 to Bolivar, MO. Take Highway 83 northeast to RB Highway. Follow the RB Highway east to the Lightfoot Park entrance.
This campground is beautiful and clean. The park host was AMAZING! She was very helpful and accommodating. My family and I have been camping in Kansas for over 6 years now and have never had such an outstanding camp host! We will definitely be coming back!
This is our second family camping trip there and this year was even better. The new camp host (Sophie) has done an amazing job cleaning up and keeping it clean. Huge difference from last year. The shower house and bathrooms looked and smelled good. The campsites were well taken care of. I would highly recommend this to family’s to visit.
Been coming here since I was a kid. It's really changed over the years. Beautiful camp ground, showers and bathrooms until the off season starts. I would love to give it a 5 star but I came here to enjoy the peace and quiet. But apparently this has turned into a dog park. If I wanted to listen to annoying yappy dogs I'd stay home. 👎
I had a wonderful time at Light foot Park. It was quiet, cleaned, nice restrooms, easy to put boat on the lake. Magnificient lake!
Love camping here and the grounds. However the park attendant John is a creep. He has knocked on our camper door at 630 am. Comes into your camp uninvited, asking for food, beer, or whatever he wants. As a camper I have no interest in making small talk with a weirdo park attendant. I'm not the only one who feels this way as us campers have discussed in length the situation john is putting us in. I hope they fix this issue for this season, not sure we can deal with it any longer
