Camping near Piedmont guide

Overview

With a name that translates to the “foot of the mountain,” Piedmont is on the southern edge of the Ozark Mountains. While Southeast Missouri is known for its crystal-clear rivers and the rollicking hills of the Mark Twain National Forest, it is also home to some scenic lakes. Clearwater Lake is just one of many elements that bring visitors to Piedmont. The Army Corps of Engineers operates five campgrounds along the shores, some with electric and water hookups. Many of the region’s private RV parks are also found near the lake.

Where to go

Sam A. Baker State Park

Located in the St. Francois Mountains, Sam A. Baker State Park is 15 miles northwest of Piedmont. Big Creek and the St. Francois River run through the park, offering bountiful waters for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddling. Trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding meander through the wooded hills. Three campgrounds, including an equestrian park, offer RV and tent camping sites with basic and electric hookups.

Ozark National Scenic Riverways

Venture into the Ozarks National Scenic Riverways region to hit the waters of the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers. This area is home to massive springs, which bubble with brilliant blue waters. Picturesque historic mills provide a peek into the past. Public camping options operated by the National Park Service can be found, with a range of services and amenities. Private RV parks and glamping rentals are tucked into the hillsides throughout the area.

Elephant Rock State Park

One of Missouri’s most unique attractions is found at Elephant Rock State Park, set 45 miles north of Piedmont. Massive pink granite boulders seem to have dropped out of nowhere onto this forest landscape. Line up like circus elephants—the rocks are a sight to behold. While no camping is found directly onsite, a number of private and public campgrounds can be found in the region.

Johnson Shut-Ins State Park

Located near Elephant Rocks State Park, Johnson Shut-Ins State Park features another unique geological wonder. Considered Mother Nature’s water park, the shut-ins are a spot on the Black River where hard rocks create pools and chutes in the rippling river. While playing in the water is the prime attraction, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and other activities can be enjoyed in the woodlands. The campground features renovated facilities, with tent and RV sites featuring everything from basic to full hookup services.

When to go

For outdoor adventures, spring and fall provide moderate temperatures. As late spring turns into summer, the trees begin to bud and wildflowers peep through. Fall is made for hitting the trails and for scenic drives through colorful hills. Summer is the best time for watersports, as the daily temperatures reach their peaks. Winter is the quiet season, with cold temperatures and occasional frozen precipitation. Some campgrounds close for the winter, while others provide service year-round.
