This welcoming recreation area serves as your gateway to one of the region's most beloved lakeside destinations, perfectly positioned to take advantage of everything Smithville Lake has to offer.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground's setting within the expansive Smithville Lake recreation area places you at the heart of a stunning Missouri landscape where woodland trails wind through native hardwoods and prairie grasses sweep down to the water's edge.
