Spillway Recreation Area

Rt 1 Box 144B, Williamsville, MO 63967, USA

Nestled along the scenic Black River in the southwestern corner of Missouri's Mark Twain National Forest, Markham Springs Campground offers a peaceful retreat steeped in Ozark history. Named after lumber mill operator M. J. Markham, who ran operations here from 1901 through the 1930s, this recreation area retains echoes of its industrial past, including the impressive Fuchs House—a five-bedroom concrete and native stone structure that occasionally serves as a rental property. Dense forests of ash, elm, maple, and poplar create a colorful canopy over the campground, while the rushing waters of the Black River provide a constant soundtrack to your stay. A historic pond dating back to the 1800s adds to the area's charm and sense of timelessness. The campground provides both single and double sites suitable for tents and RVs, ranging from more developed spots with electric hookups to primitive sites tucked into the woods near the river. Each site comes equipped with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills, plus lantern posts for evening ambiance. Modern conveniences include accessible vault toilets, drinking water, hot showers, and trash collection—a nice balance of comfort and outdoor simplicity. Whether you prefer the hum of electricity for your RV or the rustic experience of a riverside tent site, you'll find options that suit your camping style. Anglers will appreciate the Black River's reputation for bass, sunfish, walleye, and catfish, with opportunities to fish from boats or along the riverbanks. Paddlers can explore the river by canoe or kayak, while hikers have access to the Markham Springs Trail System, including the popular 1.5-mile Eagle Bluff Trail loop that follows the river and offers excellent birding and wildlife viewing opportunities. The location strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience—you're immersed in nature but just three miles from Williamsville, where you'll find a general store and fuel station for any forgotten supplies. The campground makes an ideal base camp for those seeking a genuine Ozark experience without sacrificing essential comforts.
