Best Time to Camp at Devil'S Backbone Campground
Spring through fall (April 1–October 31) brings Devil's Backbone to full life, with warm-weather amenities like showers, potable water, and dump stations all operational for your convenience. But don't overlook the quiet magic of off-season camping—electric hookups remain available year-round for those who enjoy peaceful winter landscapes and prefer a more self-sufficient camping style. Just remember that winter visitors should come prepared with their own water and plan for limited facilities, as some loops and services close down when temperatures drop.
Large reservoir supports peak-season boating, fishing and camping in summer.
Ozark woods and rolling hills likely provide good fall color and mild weather.
Mild spring weather, lake access and forest growth make spring appealing for visits.
Year‑round electric loop exists, but winter recreation options appear limited.
Planning Tips
- Operating Season: On-season typically Apr. 1–Oct. 31; off-season Nov. 1–Mar. 31. Many park services (water, showers, dump station) are reduced or shut off in the off-season; some loops or facilities may close seasonally.
