About the campground
The elevation is 700 ft. The campground has two loops, a spur and a separate section named Pines Overlook off the access road and before the main campground. All campsites are in mixed hardwoods including Tulip poplar and Sweet gum. However, each of these campsites overlooks the lush Huzzah Creek valley. Although campers in this section enjoy the fabulous valley view, they must get their drinking water from the main campground, 0.7 mile north. The two loops in the main campground are named Upper and Lower. The Lower loop stretches across a section of the Huzzah Creek flood plan and many of the campsites with their gravel surface show the effects of flooding; campers in the Lower Loop should stay alert to conditions. The Upper loop is actually a spur that ends in a little loop tucked back in the woods. The Upper loop has campsites with electric hook-ups and several group campsites (not included in the research). Each campsite in the campground has a covered table (ramada) and lantern pole. Few campsites have a view of Huzzah Creek but all are within walking distance of the water. Wadding in Huzzah Creek, under the red bluffs, is very popular as is floating the creek. Firewood, ice, and limited camping supplies are available for a fee. Visit the Czar Fire Tower Station in Viburnum, MO. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), it and associated buildings still stand. Yet another example of CCC workmanship. Some unique services provided by the CURRENT managers were a lending Mark Twain National Forest 263 library, kayaks for rent, and a nightly visit of an ice cream bicycle. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
