Indian Creek Campground

Off the beaten path COE campground. Takes you back on the rural roads of Missouri. Beautiful country. Nice well kept campground in the deep woods. Very quiet, private sites. Lots of wildlife but also lots of bugs as you might expect in wooded areas. Enjoyed it. Electric sites are $24 and electric with water hook up is $30. Has dump station.

This was a wonderful campground! Every site was shaded so we never had to worry about the sun. We were in site 127 and it was great! Close to the shower house so we could easily walk back and forth. Our site was electric only. We were also close to the playground for the kiddos. It was a very nice playground, my only wish was that it had a swing for smaller children. It only had what I considered big kid swings so I wasn’t able to push my 16 month old in the swings which was kind of a bummer! But that was my only negative. Highly recommend!

This campground is well maintained and the interior roads are in great condition. The sites are paved and many are full hookups. Bathrooms are old and need refreshing but serve the need. Many trails lead through the woods to scenic overlooks on the lake. This campground is out in the country with narrow winding roads, but it's worth the drive. We'll be back.

This campground is way out there. About 30 minutes from Monroe City, which doesn't have much. But, it's nice and quiet and a beautiful place to just get away. Just plan ahead.

We originally booked 52A, but after a 30 minute struggle to get Bessie into the spot (which we amazingly managed to do) it was just too unlevel for our rig. Thankfully there was another open site that was awesome.

We ended up backed up to the lake in 79A a paved site that was straight in and level. We lived the spot and the campground but cell signal was weak and we have to work, so we only stayed a night.

While Verizon showed full bars at 4G the connection was extremely slow. Same with AT&T.

We camped during Covid so the swimming beach and playgrounds were closed but everything else was great!

Nice big lots, everyone has full shade. Each loop has a big bathroom with massive showers. One of our showers even had a handheld nozzle! And each loop has their own dumpster.

This campground is out in the boonies so you'll want to stock up before you pull in. Here's a rundown:
25 min from Walgreens
45 min from Walmart
40 min from laundromat
2 hours from Target and CVS

The trails are wide and there are multiple water access points to get to the shoreline

This is a reserve only now so be sure to pick your spot before you show up. I haven't seen an attendant though I did see a couple kids cleaning the bathrooms.

There is a paid wifi option that's $20/week but I just used Sprint roaming as a hotspot for my laptop and it was perfect. So try the free route first.

The photos for each spot are accurate on recreation.gov =)

FHU site in a nice, quiet campground. We did not have a site with a lake view but we could walk to the lake on good trails. Late October showcased beautiful autumn colors, deer everywhere, and many birds came through too.
We drove down to the Mark Twain (State Park) birthplace for a fascinating museum visit; sadly didn't get to hike here as swarms of Japanese Asian Beetles were on the attack, those little ladybug imposters bite! Thankfully they were not a problem at the campground.
