About

Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a geologic wonderland featuring sinkholes, caves, a massive natural bridge, sheer bluffs, and Missouri's 12th-largest spring, all overlooked by the ruins of a turn-of-the-century stone castle. The park offers two distinct camping experiences for visitors. The special-use group camping area is divided into three separate zones, each equipped with a fire ring, covered cook table, and three to four picnic tables. A centrally located vault toilet serves the area. No water or electricity is available at the camping areas, though water can be found at other locations in the park. Area A1 is designated for campers with disabilities. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the park office. Backcountry camping is available for backpackers at three designated sites along the Turkey Pen Hollow Trail. Registration is required before camping, and reservations are recommended at least one week in advance. Campfires are prohibited at backcountry sites; stoves must be used for cooking. The maximum group size is seven people per site.
