Weather at Campground (Sites 69-100)

Best Time to Camp at Campground (Sites 69-100)

Fall combines the best weather and scenery. Daytime highs run mid-50s to mid-70s°F with cool nights (mid-30s to low-50s°F), perfect for hiking and campfires. Hardwood ridges light up in reds, oranges, and golds, and the lake stays warm enough for boating and fishing through early October. Crowds thin out except for weekend leaf-viewing spikes. Spring brings wildflowers and blooming dogwoods, though trails can turn muddy after rain. Summer offers swimming and fishing but also heat, humidity, ticks, and mosquitoes. Bring insect protection. Winter camping is possible but trails get slick and icy.

About Campground (Sites 69-100)

Sites 69-100 sit in one of the modern electric loops at Cuivre River State Park, a 6,251-acre preserve that surprises visitors with terrain more rugged and wooded than typical northern Missouri. The 32 sites offer full hookups (electric, water, sewer) under a shaded hardwood canopy, with restrooms and showers nearby. Lake Lincoln and its swim beach are a short walk or drive from camp.

The park offers both primitive and modern campsites; the family campground includes tent sites and modern RV sites (some with full hookups). A separate equestrian campground is available and organized/group camping is listed among park offerings.

Winter camping is possible but trails get slick and icy.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies forested land in the Lincoln Hills, a limestone uplift region marked by karst features uncommon in this part of the state. Oak and hickory cover the ridges and slopes, creating dense shade over most sites. Limestone bluffs rise abruptly from the forest floor, and scattered sinkhole ponds punctuate the woods. Small remnant prairies break up the canopy in places, but your view from camp will mostly be filtered through hardwood trees. Lake Lincoln sits below the campground, its calm water edged by a sandy swim beach and a network of trails that wind through the bluffs and valleys.

Geological RegionLincoln Hills — limestone uplift with karst features (limestone bluffs, sinkholes, springs and sinkhole ponds)

Scenic ViewsSites are generally tree‑screened and wooded rather than offering long-distance vistas; Lake Lincoln provides attractive water views in areas near the lake and swim beach.

Go if

Fall weekends suit RV campers best: the hardwood ridges run reds and golds, bugs thin out, and sites 69-100 deliver electric, water, and sewer hookups with shade that holds even late in the season.

Skip if

Heavy sleepers and light packers may regret it: weekend nights get noisy with neighbors close together, raccoons are persistent, cell service is essentially absent, and there's no camp store if you forget something in Troy.
