Baxter Campground in Missouri

RV DESTINATION- BAXTER CAMPGROUND, Missouri

Baxter Campground, an Army Corp of Engineers campground in SW Missouri, offers 54 camp sites. Amenities include hot showers, drinking water, a dump station and electric hookups. Also included are a swim area, boat ramp, playground and nearby full-service marina.

Recreational activities mostly revolve around water sports such as swimming, scuba diving, boating, fishing, tubing, wakeboarding and water skiing, but also include picnicking, hiking and wildlife viewing. The Baxter marina provides rentals from ski boats to life vests. Table Rock Lake is most famous for bass, and is acclaimed as one of the best bass fishing lakes in this region.

The layout of Baxter campground is somewhat confusing. Some sites are angled one way, and some the other. The road actually goes completely through the camp, and circles back upon itself, so you may have to drive completely through the campground to get angled right. We stayed in site #42. It was very narrow, even for my little Class C, and had an inconvenient twist. Many of the sites are close together. My fire-ring was only a few feet from my neighbor’s rig, so I didn’t dare build a fire. One good thing about Baxter campground, is that the marina is far off to one side, so at least it doesn’t block the view of the lake. We only got 2 bars on the cellphone (Verizon).

THE JOURNEY

Somewhere in the world, there lives a dark wizard, whose sole joy in life is to trouble travelers who are on an epic quest. This wretched soul rains disorder, gloom, and despair upon any journey that happens to cross his path.

No weapon can stand against the dark wizard. No plan or scheme can outwit him. He surprises you when you least expect it. He attacks when your back is turned. His unseen traps and snares litter the path of your journey. There is only one hope to withstand his onslaught of misfortune. That one hope is courage.

Courage is more powerful than any man-made weapon.
