About
Sparrowfoot Campground is situated on the Grand River Arm of Harry S. Truman Lake in the scenic rolling hills of western Missouri. The campground features 83 campsites, with 56 sites equipped with 50-amp electric and water hookups and 27 sites with 30-amp service. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, hot showers, drinking water, laundry facilities, a playground, dump station, and boat ramp. Two day-use group picnic shelters make this an ideal location for family gatherings and large parties. The area is characterized by a mosaic of hardwood forests and grasslands, with rocky bluffs extending into the lake. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, including whitetail deer, turkey, hawks, ospreys, eagles, and numerous water birds. The lake is renowned for its fishing, with abundant populations of crappie, bass, walleye, paddlefish, and blue and channel catfish. Approximately 8,800 acres of standing timber were intentionally left in the lake to provide quality aquatic habitat. Nearby attractions include Katy Trail State Park, the nation's longest rails-to-trails project, which stretches from Clinton to Machens and offers biking and hiking opportunities. Reservations are handled exclusively through Recreation.gov and require credit or debit card payment. All campers must check in at the park booth to pick up vehicle hang tags upon arrival.
