Roomy campsites surrounded by open lawn and natural shading, cool breezes, abundant songbirds and scenic views all await visitors at the Sutton Bluff Recreation Area. The campground is a popular site for those using the nearby designated Sutton Bluff off-road vehicle trails.
A 20 mile off-road vehicle trail can be accessed from the campground. Permits are required for off-road vehicle use in the area. The Karkaghne section of the Ozark Trail, which is popular among backpackers, hikers and mountain bikers, is accessible from a trailhead less than a mile from the campground. The West Fork of Black River provides access to a serene, slow-moving mountain stream and a natural gravel beach. Visitors enjoy wading in the waters, however the current is not strong enough to enable floating the river. Anglers can enjoy a variety of bass and bluegill.
The campground offers multiple single-family sites and a large group site that can accommodate up to 32 guests. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills, and electric hookups are available for RVs. Accessible vault and flush toilets, hot showers and drinking water are also provided. Firewood and ice are available by purchase from the campground host. A group picnic pavilion, equipped with about 10 tables, as well as grills, is perfect for large parties or family functions. Camping Sites #29, #32 and #33 have short parking spaces that are not able to accommodate large RVs/Trailers. Please take this into account when reserving sites.
Sutton Bluff is located 13 miles outside Centerville, Missouri, on the Black River. It is nestled among a variety of short-leaf pine trees and shrubs, and a number of campsites sit alongside the West Fork of the Black River.
The small mining town of Centerville is located roughly six miles from the campground.
From Centerville, Missouri, travel 3 miles northeast on Highway 21. Take County Road 907 northwest for 7 miles, then turn on County Road 849 and travel south for 3 miles to the campground.
Great little campground. Almost everyone here takes advantage of easy access to trails for side x side and OHV use.
One of.my favorite places! Beautifull spot on upper black river! It boasts some pretty nice camping, there are free auxiliary camping, but the camp ground is awsome as well. There is water and electric available in spots, and you can get wood and ice from the administrator!
I liked it way much Better Before, you Changed everything, Now it's Boring, only reason your getting 3 stars is hard to find a picnic area in 1 million acres of trees, kudos
I absolutely love sutton bluff my family goes every year for a family reunion. We love riding and spending days in the river. Bathrooms by entrance has working water and toilet there are also 2 showers. The campground is clean and Steve is an amazing host we will miss him when he leaves. Best place ever.
