Great campground in the Ozarks on Stockton lake. Very rural area with little cell reception. Stockton is a great lake. I grew up here as a local and the lake never disappoints.
They have good rest rooms and showers. A nice playground for the kids great lake views and Campground attendants now us by name. It's a great place to just escape And get away love it
This camping area without a doubt was one of the most peaceful places to camp we've been in a long time. The facilities were adequate and clean. The one thing I would suggest check the wind before you put up your tent. 😉😮😁
Right next to the lake, the campsite was well kept spent 5 days tent camping at a-21 campsite very well shaded by trees injoyed every moment fishing relaxing and cooking dinner on the BBQ pit absolutely love it
