Haw Creek Falls Campground

Camped 10/21/21 (Thur). This campground is now free for day use and camping. Pack it in, pack it out - there are no trash cans, no water, only 2 vault toilets. No cell service either. When turning onto the road that leads to the campground, you drive through the creek. It was shallow when we were there. The camping loop is the end of the road.

This is a decent campground located by the creek, but it's densely wooded and situated at the bottom of two large hills. At the time of our stay, the sun was low in the sky, so not great sun exposure. There was mud in places, so being damp, it just seemed very cold even though the temps weren't that bad. Sites are large, level and nicely spaced out. Our site 6, however, was under a walnut tree; large walnuts fell occasionally and were scattered all over our site. We moved our truck.

There's a short path with steps that leads to the creek and falls. Very beautiful! Sites have picnic table, lantern/trash hook, rock fire rings. Vault toilets had TP, but were not clean and smelly at times. There were a few other campers during our stay, and people drove through without stopping. We had planned on staying longer to explore and hike, but decided to move on after one night. Beautiful area though. We would return.

Haw creek falls. NFCG 8 well spaced sites near pretty waterfall and creek with good swimming hole. Pit toilets no water. Good hiking along the Ozark Highlands Trail East to Ft Douglas Trailhead. Nice short hike out of CG to Pack Rat Falls. Pams Grotto nearby also. A local favorite and busy weekends. It was quiet in the fall during the week. Right off a paved road
