Be prepared to have neighbors.

I stayed here for a few days in April. There were a few campers, but I'd be very surprised if this place isn't loud and packed in the summer. Other than that the restrooms were well kept up and it was free. I just pulled right up to an established fire pit and pitched my tent.

open and easy to access camping spot

We camped at Firey Fork in the autumn of 2021. It was during deer hunting season and we only had one neighbor that looked to be there for quite a while hunting. We could see them with our eyeballs but they were perfect neighbors and we didn’t hear a peep other than their generator for a bit. The area was mowed, had a rock fire place, concrete picnic tables (which were handy), a vault toilet, shade, grass for dogs to play frisbee, parking right beside your spot, trails, access to the river, good hammock trees, flat-level surface!

Bathrooms, River Access, and Trash

Like many others have pointed out there is quite a bit of trash left by previous occupants. The river access also means many leave their trash from their boats/canoes in the latrine located at the campsite as well. The river access is really amazing though. It's a great place to launch a boat from or just to wade in a bit and fish. Fly fishing can be done easily from the bank or just by wading in a bit. The campsites are fine and we were the only ones camping out which was nice. The latrine had plenty of toilet paper which was nice as well. We decided it would be a nice place to bring our kids since there is quite a bit of "beach" at the river access for them to play and see nature. We have AT&T for our cell service and there was absolutely NO service there which was good to get away, but bad in an emergency. We were able to see some wildlife while staying there as well. Armadillos, deer, and a few different bird types could be found easily. Overall it was exactly what we wanted since it was free and not crowded down close to Lake of the Ozarks.

OK campsite

The campsite itself was very nice and there was river access close to our spot. Much of the area was covered in trash. Bring extra trash bags!

Peaceful

Easy to find, campsites were pretty good (primative camping) I used a hammock found a perfect spot for it. There is a bathroom too. The down side .... unfortunately there was some spots with trash, especially around the fire. There is no dumpster so be prepared to take your trash with you. Other downside..ticks galore! Also be prepared to have no cell signal...had to drive a couple of miles for a signal. That is with Spectrum U believe they use Verizon.

Quiet Public Land

Far from any city noise or roadway, there’s two camp areas with many sites that are mowed/maintained with fire pits (and some concrete tables). Lots of beautiful hammock friendly trees, river access, and creek beds to play in. 30 min from Ha Ha Tonka. If the waters too high, there’s a bridge into the site that could be flooded so watch the weather.

Peace and tranquil

Nice area to camp not crowded, plenty of space between camp sites, and peaceful. A nice place if your on a budget and just need a get away.

Boring spot but it’s free!

The road down was very sketchy for my 2008 Mazda 3. It’s a very simple campground but in a great location near the ozarks.

Nice camping area

Stayed at the first set of camping spots which were about 5/6. Fire rings and tables provided. Also a vault toilet was available. The road nearest the first camp site leads to the River Glade trailhead. I don’t recommend taking it until it gets some maintenance. It is overgrown and HIGH tick contact probability.

Did not stay near the river but I believe there are more campsites there. I recommend smaller RVs due to the 2 miles of gravel and high water areas you go through to get there.
