About Snow Creek Campground

Tucked along the northwestern shore of Wappapello Lake near Chaonia Landing, Snow Creek Campground offers an authentic, back-to-basics lakeside escape. This primitive retreat puts you right at the water's edge with convenient boat ramp access, a fishing pier for casting your line, and essential amenities including a showerhouse—everything you need for a memorable fishing trip or waterside adventure.
Primitive campground located on the shore of Wappapello Lake with nine sites and lakefront views.
Natural Features and SceneryWappapello Lake spreads out before you, its waters fed by the meandering St. Francis River as it winds through the southeastern Ozark foothills. The shoreline here tells a story of contrasts—secluded coves perfect for exploring by kayak give way to stretches of open water, while gravel bars meet wooded banks beneath dramatic rocky bluffs. The open woodlands surrounding the campground create a sense of peaceful seclusion, yet the lake's expanse offers plenty of room for water recreation and the kind of fishing that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
