Our source here is thin -- confirm on the ground before you commit.Primitive Mark Twain National Forest campground set in a remote area near Potosi, Missouri, where the Ozark Trail offers multi-use hiking and mountain biking access. Ten parking spur sites come with fire rings, tables, and lantern posts but no water or developed facilities. Popular with OHV and ATV riders, mountain bikers, and equestrians, with horse-friendly infrastructure including large spurs and hitching posts. The site features a historic lead smelter foundation from the Old Lead Belt mining era and sits along the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. Free to use, though visitors should note the lack of cell service makes this a genuinely remote retreat.
