About
Bennett Spring State Park Campground is one of Missouri's most beloved camping destinations, centered around a spring that releases over 100 million gallons of crystal-clear water daily. The park offers five distinct campgrounds with a total mix of basic, electric, and full-hookup sewer/electric/water sites, including 50-amp service for larger RVs. Campground hosts are on-site to assist visitors throughout the season. Campground 1 operates year-round and provides the most amenities including accessible sites, showers, restrooms, a dump station, and a wood lot. Campgrounds 2-5 are seasonal, opening between late February and mid-April and closing by the end of October. Note that significant uphill travel is required to reach campgrounds 2, 3, 4, and 5. The park features a nature center, hiking trails, dining at the lodge, a camp store, and world-class trout fishing in the spring branch. Reservations can be made up to 12 months in advance through the Missouri State Parks reservation system online or by phone. Walk-up sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis when unreserved. Camping is limited to 15 days within any 30-consecutive-day period.
