Harry S Truman State Park

"Saw and found zero ticks. This was a concern after reading so many comments about them in the reviews here, and because we were taking our toddler on his first camping trip. Park staff were friendly, other guests were having fun but being respectful. Not half as busy as all the reserved sites online had me coming in expecting. Used to hunt ducks with my dad near this part of Truman. Now we'll be camping with my new family. Firewood is a standard $5 per bundle, about a standard amount and consistency of firewood. Check-in and fire wood sales 3pm-7pm."

"Beautiful park! Well maintained, very friendly and helpful staff. Gorgeous lake wooded campsites they have tent, RV and cabin campsites. They have outhouse restrooms as well as regular restrooms with showers available. It is dog friendly. Boat ramp available."

"We spent a week camping here and it was a great experience! Lots of wildlife and it is very well maintained. I wish they had lights at the boat ramps, but other than that it was a great campground."

"A wonderful state park where you can enjoy many outdoor activities. There is a beach for swimming, many marked hiking trails, miles of lake shore and a boat ramp for fishing as well as 5 well maintained campgrounds. Devils Backbone campground is one of the only camping facilities open all year. There is no water in the winter but the rates are reduced and It's so nice to atleast have somewhere with 30amp service to plug in in the winter months. Off season rates are $15.00 weekdays and $19.00 weekends. Military and disabled discount also available. Check website for normal rates during peak season months."

"We stayed here one night in the middle of October. It was a beautiful quiet place. Great time of year to view the changing tree leaves. Our campsite was clean. All the sites appear to be pretty well spaced out so you can have some privacy. What we can tell they all had a fire pit and they picnic table. There are three easy for hikes/ nature walks to enjoy as well."
