Dispersed Camping areas have few, if any, amenities or other facilities. Primitive Camping is allowed throughout the forest except in day use areas, administrative sites, within 100' of springs, stream, caves and other natural features or archeological sites, or where otherwise prohibited. Follow Leave No Trace principles and protect the forest resouces.
Firewood - We request that visitors not bring firewood with them from outside the state. This restriction has been put in place to avoid infestation by damaging non-native pests, such as the emerald ash borer. Firewood is readily available at most campgrounds and visitors are encouraged to gather or purchase it on arrival. If firewood is brought in from another state, it should all be burned and not left behind on departure. For additional information, please visit the Missouri Department of Conservation Web site.

Tips on camping and wildlife avoidance can be found at Center for Wildlife Information.
