Sportsmans Resort

39mi from Morris State Park · 18 sites
Nestled along the historic New Madrid fault line, our campground offers a unique experience steeped in natural beauty and rich history. The area is renowned for the remarkable geological events of the winter of 1811-1812, when a series of powerful earthquakes caused the Mississippi River to flow backward for up to 24 hours. This seismic activity led to the creation of Reelfoot Lake, a stunning natural feature where visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, and birdwatching, with the echoes of history resonating in the landscape.
The name "Reelfoot" is derived from a legend about a 19th-century Chickasaw Indian chief who bore the name due to a deformed foot. His tale of defiance against the Great Spirit, which involved stealing a bride from a neighboring tribe, is said to have triggered the earthquakes that formed the lake, adding a layer of intrigue to your visit.
Our family-owned and operated resort, purchased by Bill and Candy Curlin in 1986, is situated at the northern end of Reelfoot Lake, in the Upper Blue Basin. In 2000, we expanded our offerings by acquiring Ray's Camp near Keystone Park, which we renamed Sportsman's South, located in the Lower Blue Basin. Our campground provides a perfect blend

Very nice owner. The spots had plenty of room and were well laid out. I did have to use my mascerator pump to dump the tanks due to the sewer connection being uphill from our tank hook-ups. If your tank hook-ups were at the rear of your RV this would not be an issue but ours are forward of the axles. The park is in a good and quiet location.

I have a rooftop tent and really enjoyed this spot. I had a wonderful quiet evening. Love that there is a shower and restroom right there next to the sites. Hosts were very kind and extremely responsive. Oh! And they even provide wood for your campfire, which is awesome. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area again!

This is a cute little spot that is secluded enough for me, but also close to gas stations, food, and grocery for emergencies. They are currently building a shower area as well! The hosts were incredible!!! They provided wood and even brought me farm fresh eggs to cook! You can take a short drive to the lake, or grab some food on nights you don’t want to cook. One of the best parts was the Wi-Fi. I’m used to not having any and get by just fine, BUT being able to cozy up in bed and pop on Netflix, YouTube, whatever you want was great! The locals are welcoming and nice as well. Overall it’s a hidden gem that I will definitely be back to visit! Thank you for a relaxing weekend!

Overview
About
Morris State Park may be Missouri’s smallest—and one of its newest—but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a visit. This 161-acre day-use park is home to a geological feature known as Cowley’s Ridge, a unique ridge of long, low hills rising 200-feet above the Missouri Bootheel lowlands created by the Mississippi River floodplains. Hike the Beech Tree Trail to explore the unique plants and soils found here. To maintain the park’s natural landscape, minimal amenities are available.
Notable campgrounds
Morris State Park does not offer camping onsite, but here are some nearby public campgrounds.
- Best for onsite recreation: Lake Wappapello State Park Campground is 50 miles northwest of the park, offering recreation on land and on water.
- Best for solitude: Mark Twain National Forest allows dispersed camping.
- Best for exploring a unique habitat: Tennessee’s Reelfoot Lake State Park Campground is over an hour west, but it is worth the drive to camp in this unique flooded forest.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Missouri State Parks offer reservations online and by phone up to 12-months in advance.
- Lake Wappapello State Park is a popular summer destination, especially on weekends and holidays, so advanced reservations are recommended.
- Mark Twain National Forest does not require reservations for dispersed camping, but campers must follow land regulations.
- Tennessee State Parks also offer reservations up to 12-months in advance online and on phone.
When to go
Southern Missouri is hot and humid in summer. Hiking may be steamy. Spring and fall are more moderate, with fall being particularly scenic due to the autumn color changes. Winter is less preferred for camping, as the temperatures may dip below freezing.
Know before you go
- Take a drive along the Crowley's Ridge Parkway National Scenic Byway to explore more of the region’s unique geology. The byway runs between Missouri’s Saint Francois River through Northern Arkansas.
- Morris State Park’s Beech Tree Trail is 2.6 miles long, with one portion crossing private property.
- Mosquitoes are plentiful throughout much of the year.
- Dogs are welcome on the trail, but they must be leashed.
