I live in St. Louis and have been coming to Mark Twain Lake for the last couple years. It's a great place to get away from the big city; the area is so peaceful and calm. Our last trip in May we encountered quite a bit of rain, so we had to spend a great deal of time inside the camper...if the area has one problem is the lack of good OTA TV reception and no WIFI, just bring a number of DVDs during bad weather. Overall, we had a great time and will return.

We went a weekend ago for the first time, it was clean and nice camping areas. Full hookups for 20.00 a night it’s a big park with some great views. Only thing we found strange was check out at 4:00 pm and check in at 5:00 pm. Us older-retired folks don’t like arriving in the evening and set up camp. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay.

Fire pits were full of ashes.
The host said no one is working under contact they and they were just volunteering to help a few weeks but no permanent hosts.

Mixed feelings about this trip. As I told my wife- Cons: Campground is 200 miles from Kansas City. 20 miles from nearest town (food, fuel). Campgrounds are located several miles east of 24 Hwy on county roads. Long winding drive, tho roads are good. No TV service. Cell phone signal & hot spot for internet (AT&T) good to poor (on weekends when more campers around). Nothing to do unless you fish &/or have a boat. Photos don't show how level a campsite is. Some sites are down off the road, others like ours have big slope up from road to back of site. Nose of our 5th wheel was more than 6' in the air to get it level front to back. Pros: Lots of full hookup sites. Unusual for a COE campground. All electric is 50 amp. Campsites are spaced far apart, Lots of trees, shade not an issue. Very quiet at night, especially during the week. Don't hear anything. Total silence. Cheap camping if you have a Senior Pass, saving 50% off regular fee. We stayed for 15 nites, camped with family in another 5th wheel. Again, nothing to do so you go to bed early and sleep late. Marina "restaurant" is closest place to get a meal. Basically just burgers & sandwiches. Nothing special & not cheap. My choice, but I used the bathhouse daily. Not fancy, it's clean and perpetually wet . Maintenance guy covers the toilet paper up, then sprays everything from the ceiling down with a garden hose & nozzle. Walls usually wet and never saw the floor dry in 2 weeks due to no air circulation. I prefer the way MO state parks are cared for. Bottom line: I have no plans to go back. Other folks rave and swoon over this park. I'm not a fan. 60 miles to Hannibal. One way. If I want to do stuff in Hannibal, I'll stay at a campground in Hannibal. Save fuel and drive time going back and forth from Indian Creek. We've been camping since the mid-80's. Seen a lot of campgrounds. What I've written on this one is just my opinion. This was our 1st time here. Don't intend to have a 2nd one.
