About Damsite

Attention Campers! We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain campgrounds. For more information and volunteer applications, call 417-745-6411 and ask for park ranger Heard.Visitors head to Damsite on Pomme de Terre Lake for days of enjoyable boating, fishing and swimming. Just as the name implies, Damsite Park is just above the dam, at the confluence of Lindley Creek and the Pomme de Terre River. The lake is named for the river that feeds it. The phrase "Pomme de Terre" is French for potato or "apple of the earth." Most likely, the river was named by early French trappers and fur traders when they discovered plants resembling potatoes on the riverbanks.

The Park Ranger harassed people for running there dogs in picnic areas where there are no patrons? It’s hard to relax when they constantly drive by.

I've never met a more helpful camp host in the years that I've been camping. She went above and beyond to help meet my needs. And on top of that she was friendly! Not often do you meet a host that is like this. She is a gem! Our site was perfect! We had views of the dam as well as the cove. Bath house was very clean. Grounds were well taken care of. This campground is now on my top list. The only downfall is the lack of trees for shade. But in fall time camping it wasn't an issue, Sites are big and fire rings are cleaned out. There isn't a swimming beach that I saw.

Camped there mid-September for 4 days. I say that cause this campground is on a point and not a lot of trees near the water's edge. July/August may be sweltering at this campground with not a lot of shade.
Campground was well-maintained & it was nice to see all the boaters in campground were able to "beach" their boats fairly easy right off their campsites.

Absolutely gorgeous sunsets -- if you go for just that alone, you wouldn't be disappointed.

Finally, great location to catch the races at Lucas Oil Speedway - just 11 miles away! We enjoyed touring the resale shops & antique stores throughout the area.

Love the east loop sites up on the hill! They are roomy and well-spaced. Some have amazing views of the lake!

Pomme de Terre Lake has always been one of the best in Missouri. The park attendants were wonderful, campsites are clean, bathrooms were well maintained. One of the best places to camp for sure.
