Services
Firepits for Rent
It’s not camping without a camp fire, right? We’ve got you covered! We have firepits available for rent for $2.50 per night. If you need wood, roasting sticks, or s’mores items, you can find these items in our store. Please note that transporting firewood into our campground is strictly prohibited due to Missouri state law.
If interested in renting a firepit, please put in a request with our store and one will be delivered to your site pending payment and availability. Firepits are limited, so please place any rental requests early. You are also welcome to bring your own firepits.
When using any firepit in our park, please place it over the concrete or gravel at your site as the heat from your fire can kill the grass. Before heading to bed, please make sure your fire is out and you may leave your firepit at your site when you check out and we will pick it up.
Firewood for Sale
Firewood is for sale in our gift shop. We are also proud to offer fire starters, roasting sticks, s’mores items, and more for your enjoyment.
Please remember that Missouri law prohibits the transportation of wood and therefore wood from outside our campground is prohibited.
Pet-Friendly with Complimentary Dog Waste Pick Up Baggies and Waste Stations
We’re proud to be a pet-friendly park! We wanted to make things convenient for our guests while traveling, so we’ve placed complimentary Doggie Waste Pick Up bags and waste stations at both the West and East ends of our park.

Missouri State Law Requires that propane tank be no more than 10 years old and we are not allowed to fill tanks outside of this law. If your tank is older than 10 years, the tank will need to be recertified. If your tank requires recertification, please contact our office and we would be happy to give you certification location information.
Motorhome tanks will require our guests to pull up to our LP Filling Station for filling. If you’re tank is located on the passenger side of your RV, you may need to back in for filling, due to Missouri Propane Laws limiting our filling hose lengths.
