CAMPING

Our campground has 25 spacious campsites available upon reservation availability. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, solar light, gravel parking spot and plenty of space to provide a sense of privacy. We have a separate bath house for men and women that our campers can utilize that includes hot showers and flushing toilets. We do not have electric, water, or sewer hook-ups at this time but can bring this before the review board in the late fall of 2024, we hope to offer this in the Spring of 2025. Bring your boat with you for when you’re not floating the river and use the Smithville Lake 6 boat ramp just a quarter mile down from the floating and camp facility, there is no charge for this access. BigFoote Outfitters reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
