Roaring River State Park is unique on so many levels!

With a deep, narrow valley surrounded by a striking and rugged landscape, Roaring River State Park is one of Missouri’s most popular state parks.

Located in the southwest Ozark hills, Roaring River State Park is one of three state parks stocked with rainbow trout. Eager anglers flock to the park year round to try and catch their lunker trout.

The scenic setting makes everything more fun. The park has seven hiking trails, a swimming pool for cooling off, picnic tables for a leisurely lunch and a nature center to learn about the park.

For those wanting to spend the night, the park has many options. The campground has both basic campsites and those with water and electric hookups. Rustic cabins are scattered throughout the park or guests may choose a modern room at the Emory Melton Inn and Conference Center. The center also boasts a full-service restaurant.

Roaring River State Park offers basic, electric and sewer/electric/water campsites spread throughout three campgrounds. For a little extra space, try one of the park's family campsites. There is also an organized group camp.

Camping is also available at Viney Creek Recreation Area.

Stop by the park store to stock up on whatever you need for your camping experience.
