Summary
There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups. Campers must pack in/out and practice Leave No Trace principles. Set along the scenic Black River near Clearwater Lake, the area is forested and quiet, ideal for solitude, fishing, and launching small boats. Close to trails in Mark Twain National Forest, it’s best visited in spring or fall for mild weather. Expect a rustic, peaceful camping experience surrounded by natural beauty.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
