Loggers Lake Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible by gravel roads with some water crossings, Loggers Lake Campground sits within Mark Twain National Forest near a 22-acre lake. The Forest Service manages 14 sites priced at $15-30 per night, with most backing directly up to the water. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and parking that accommodates RVs up to 40 feet, though the first few sites require unhitching trailers due to split parking arrangements.

Two vault toilets serve the campground along with potable water access. Most lakefront sites offer easy kayak and canoe launching, plus the campground features a boat ramp. A 1.5-mile hiking trail circles the lake, though reviewers note it sees light use and may require walking through brush. Cell service appears limited, particularly for AT&T users. Campers exploring the broader forest system can find places to camp around Mark Twain National Forest.

Guests frequently mentioned the beautiful lakeside setting with well-equipped sites and clean facilities. Access requires driving on gravel roads, and cell service may be limited for some carriers.

Nice camping right on the lake

Loggers Lake campground runs along the 22 acre Loggers Lake near Bunker, MO in the Mark Twain National Forest.

Be prepared for a decent amount of driving on gravel county roads. The route from bunker itself has a bit less while the route to Salem is longer on gravel with a handful of water crossings.

There are 14 sites which all have parking, picnic table, and fire ring. Most have lantern poles. Most back right up to the lake. Most have back in parking which can accommodate a vehicle with trailer. The first few sites have split parking, which can house your trailer in one spot and vehicle next to it, but not long enough to back in without disconnecting. At the beginning of the campground there is a swimming area with picnic tables, grills, and a vault toilet. After this, there are the sites mentioned above with split parking. Tent sites and tables are down a hill from the parking spots here. There is a small fork with a parking lot and a handful of sites - while we were here there was an RV in this area. I believe this would be the only place a full RV could park in the campground. Finally is the main campground loop. There is another vault toilet at the beginning of the loop. Both vault toilets were relatively clean. One had air fresheners in it. There is water access near the vault toilet. On the loop, all exterior sites back up to the lake. There are two sites on the center of the loop which would be very nice for a large group. The lake itself is beautiful and easy to access. There is a boat ramp at the campground loop and a spot at almost every site to put in a kayak or canoe.

There is a 1.5 mile trail along the lake which begins at the campground loop. There is a spur to the spillway. The trail does not seem to be very heavily traveled, expect to walk through brush and spider webs!

Nice Forest Camping

The campground is located in the Mark Twain National Forest. The fire rings are a plus and there are lots of trees for a hammock set up or tent. Lake is very pretty with a 1 mile hiking trail with some great views. In the evening it is dark enough to enjoy the stars.
