What others are saying
There are two playgrounds that are great for kids and adults alike can enjoy biking and walking through the campground and along the trails, some of which offer lake access with beautiful views and good fossil hunting along the shores of Mark Twain Lake. The facilities are a bit dated and rusty in places, but the general outdoor ambiance cant be beaten. There is a well maintained hiking trail that connects the east and west campgrounds and extends down to the beach. The roads are excellent and the individual sites are a mixture of electric only and full hookups. The site is shady and not far from the Comfort Station or the shower house halfway into the Eagle Point campground. There is an entrance gate, but there was no attendant on duty when we arrived, so we found a non-reservable site, set up, and paid later. Indian Creek Recreation Area is a great campground for families, with two playgrounds, biking and walking trails, and lake access with beautiful views and good fossil hunting. The campground is well maintained, with gravel areas around fire rings and picnic tables, and a mixture of electric only and full hookups.

With abundant wildlife, quiet after hours, total darkness for stargazing, and a creek running through the front of the park, Indian Creek Recreation Area is the perfect spot for a family getaway. Enjoy the views of Mark Twain Lake, dip your feet in the water, or study the millions of tiny crinoidial fossils on the shore. With a federal senior pass, you can get a spot for just $15/night, making this an affordable and enjoyable camping experience.
