Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies rolling Ozark terrain where hardwood forests meet the lake's shoreline. Stockton Lake stretches out from the campground, providing water views from many sites. The surrounding landscape mixes dense woods with native prairie grasses on hillier ground. Wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, and great blue herons are common sightings. During winter, bald eagles appear during annual eagle-watching events. Fall brings strong color to the hardwood canopy.
