Pomme de Terre State Park

   Two campgrounds, separated by water and almost ten miles of road, are located on fingers of land that extend out into Pomme de Terre Lake. We camped at Hermitage campground because it was closer to our travel route. Both campgrounds have accessible sites. Site 316, pictured above, is paved under the table and fire ring. The table has an extended top, the fire ring has high sides, and there’s a low hook on the lantern post. A gravel parking pad is still in place and we weren’t sure whether we should park on that or on the concrete. We ended up on the concrete because it’s level. The only thing missing is a paved path from the concrete to the road.

    Missouri state parks have very reasonable camping fees. They vary a bit from park to park but Pomme de Terre rates are $11.00 for non-hookup and I think $21.00 for water/electric. The park has a marina, boat ramps, camp stores, two beaches, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and dump stations.  Park 37.8843, -93.30625
