Lake Wappapello Camp Ground

Lake Wappapello is a place to sleep under the stars.The smell of dinner on the grill, the anticipation of s’mores around the campfire and the sound of laughing kids splashing in a stream are all memories of that favorite camping trip in a Missouri state park campground. Missouri State Parks makes it easy to plan and enjoy that memorable camping trip whether you are in a tent or an 80-foot camping trailer.

Forty state parks and historic sites and Viney Creek Recreation Area offer almost 3,600 campsites that range from secluded walk-in sites to sites with hookups for water, sewer and electrical service. Campgrounds are close to the action yet far enough away for you to enjoy the great outdoors. Campgrounds offer amenities such as hot showers, laundry facilities and dump stations and some even provide free Wi-Fi connections.

There are two ways to camp in Missouri state parks.  Most campgrounds offer first-come, first-served campsites or you can reserve a site in advance by taking advantage of the centralized reservation system.

Missouri state parks provide the ideal setting. It’s up to you to create the memories of that perfect camping trip.
