About Markham Springs

Markham Springs Campground is set on the Black River in a scenic and historic recreation area in the southwestern corner of Missouri's Mark Twain National Forest. The area provides access to multiple trails and recreational opportunities. Markham Springs Recreation Area gets its name from former owner, M. J. Markham, who acquired the property in 1901 and operated a lumber mill at the site until the 1930s. The Fuchs House, a five-bedroom concrete and native stone home, also sits on the property, along with a neighboring mill. At times, it is also available for rent.

Number of accommodations: 12

This is a very nice campground located in Mark Twain National Forest. The camp was clean and very well maintained. Water, electric, bathrooms and showers all worked well and the bathrooms were clean. There were dumpsters for trash as well. I would 100% camp here again.

Enjoyed camping near the shower house. Hopefully the water supply issue will be repaired soon.

I was disappointed with the few vault toilets and only two showers available for the whole camps. While it was ok the weeds were invasive

Campsites are well kept. Nice quiet place to camp. Bathrooms had no paper, and the women's had the door left open for all the bugs in the world to enter. Women's shower was dirty, also.

Been coming here since I was a kid. Have seen the park in better shape, but it looks like it is finally starting to improve. The bones are here: valley, river, trails, spring, toilet, shower, water, and a loop with electric. Wish the old spring mill wheel was still turning like when I was a kid. Historic mill house has been restored and is available to rent now! So cool! Love this place with all of my heart. Please keep improving it, us forest service! This place is amazing!
