GenieSummary

What others are saying
Lake Hunnewell Campground is a small, free campground located right on the lake. It offers open grassy areas with picnic tables and fire grates, as well as a fish hatchery across the street. There are no water hookups, no electricity, no showers, and only vault toilets. There is a water spigot behind the administration building, as well as a dump station. Rowboats are available to rent at the ranger station, and there is a fish hatchery on site that sometimes offers tours. The roads are paved on the north side of the lake, but gravel on the south side, and the sites are level and easy to access. The campground slopes toward the lake, so finding level ground is a challenge. There is a partial, short hiking trail around the lake, and the rules about quiet time are not enforced. Generators are allowed, but must be kept at a reasonable volume.

From The Campground

Hunnewell Lake Conservation Area covers 1,905 acres and includes a 228-acre lake, and a fish hatchery. The lake was opened for fishing in 1956 and hatchery construction began in 1958. Fish production began the following year. Today, the hatchery raises a variety of fish including channel catfish, largemouth bass and bluegill sunfish, walleye, and hybrid sunfish for stocking in Missouri public lakes. Total production is about 700,000 fish per year from 16.4 acres of hatchery ponds. The land that is now Hunnewell Lake Conservation Area was originally a tall-grass prairie, sustained by rich glaciated soils. Today, some remnant stands of prairie grasses remain on the area, but no true prairie exists. Limited cultivation of some fields continues. Most fields are managed for early succession plants or to encourage the growth of prairie grasses and other native plants. The landscape is broken up by small wooded drainages which contain mostly pin oaks and locust trees. On the south side of the lake is a unique stand of old-growth white oak forest.
