About
Indian Creek Campground occupies the northern shore of Mark Twain Lake, a US Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Salt River in northeast Missouri. As the largest campground on the lake, it provides 215 standard campsites, each with 20/30/50-amp electric service, paved driveways, and space for RVs up to 71 feet. An additional 20 primitive hike-in tent sites operate mid-May through mid-September, and group camping is available with a shelter accommodating up to 250 people. Facilities include a shower house, restrooms, multiple playgrounds, a beach area for swimming, and a west boat ramp open year-round. A fish cleaning station serves anglers pursuing the lake's bass population. Firewood restrictions are in effect to prevent the spread of invasive insects and diseases. The lake is named for Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), born just south of here in Florida, Missouri. Nearby attractions include the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site and the David C. Berti Shooting Range below Clarence Cannon Dam.
