About this campground

Nestled on a peaceful wooded hillside, Webb Creek Campground invites outdoor enthusiasts to experience the best of Missouri's natural beauty. With 31 thoughtfully positioned campsites—both electric and non-electric options available—this haven offers the perfect basecamp for adventure seekers and relaxation enthusiasts alike. Days here unfold with endless possibilities: cast a line into crystal-clear waters, take a refreshing dip in the designated swimming area, or launch your boat for a day of exploration on the lake. Families will appreciate the playground where children's laughter mingles with birdsong, while modern conveniences like hot showers and a convenient dump station ensure comfort throughout your stay.
Webb Creek Campground caters to a mix of campers, including those with RVs, tents, and primitive setups. It offers both electric and non-electric sites.
Historical SignificanceYour Webb Creek adventure extends far beyond the campground boundaries, with a treasure trove of natural and historical wonders waiting to be discovered. Step back in time at the historic Klepzig Mill, where weathered stones tell stories of pioneer ingenuity. Marvel at the ethereal beauty of Blue Spring and Reed Spring, where pristine waters bubble up from hidden depths. For those seeking dramatic landscapes, Rocky Falls showcases nature's raw power carved into ancient stone. Wildlife enthusiasts shouldn't miss the awe-inspiring opportunity to observe majestic elk in their natural habitat at the nearby Peck Ranch Wildlife Reserve—a sight that creates memories lasting long after your tent is packed away.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the gentle awakening of spring when March temperatures dance between a crisp 33°F and a mild 59°F—perfect for hiking without summer's intensity. As summer arrives, the thermometer climbs to a warm 65-92°F range, creating ideal conditions for swimming and water sports. The swimming area becomes a refreshing oasis during these sun-drenched months. Winter transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland, though visitors should come prepared for genuinely cold conditions accompanied by moderate winds that whisper through the bare branches overhead.
ElevationWhile specific elevation data isn't available, the campground's hillside location provides naturally terraced camping spots and varied terrain that adds character to each site.
Natural Features and SceneryThe stunning Ozark hills cradle Webb Creek Campground in their ancient embrace, creating a landscape that seems painted by nature's finest brush. The mighty Black River feeds into this aquatic paradise, where Clearwater Lake lives up to its name with pristine waters that mirror the sky above. From various vantage points throughout the campground, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the lake's unspoiled shorelines—a rare find in today's developed world. Morning mist often dances across the water's surface while eagles soar overhead, creating moments of pure magic that define the Ozark camping experience.
Geological RegionWebb Creek Campground sits proudly within the legendary Ozarks, a geological wonderland where ancient hills roll endlessly toward the horizon. This timeless landscape, sculpted over millions of years and nourished by the life-giving waters of the Black River, offers campers a chance to connect with one of America's most distinctive natural regions. The unique karst topography of the Ozarks has created a playground of springs, caves, and crystal-clear streams that make this area a geological treasure trove for curious explorers.
