Sawmill Hollow Creek Campsite
Exceptional private campground
This is a one-of-a-kind camping spot. Very private. Right on the water. Access to kayaks within walking distance. A nice campfire pit with more than enough fire would. A picnic table with a grill. And an a clean outhouse. The host was easy to communicate with and even stopped by a couple of times to say hello. Highly recommend!

Private/Clean Campsite!
We had an amazing time here! Michael has a beautiful property, with a very clean campsite and bathroom. We enjoyed waking up to the water and walking the trail around his land. He provided us plenty of firewood, and allowed our dogs to be off leash. We absolutely loved it, definitely would recommend. We want to come back if we’re ever in the area again:)

Wonderful stay, welcoming hosts
This was definitely one of my favorite Hipcamp locations! I had a wonderful experience and would 100% recommend. I hope to visit again for longer to enjoy more of the activities since I was only there for one night.
The hosts (Mike, Arlene, and their dog Max), were SO welcoming and accommodating! They met me when I arrived, allowed me to park my RV closer to the water because it was smaller and didn't need a hookup, provided kayaks/life vests free of charge (at other Airbnb's it's $50 per day), and offered firewood for a fire.
I was solo camping with my dog in our 18ft RV and felt so safe and comfortable. The land is spacious and beautiful and I'm grateful they're opening up their home to visitors. Mike and Arlene were the perfect mix of friendly, social, and helpful, as well as providing privacy. The nature trail walk was peaceful and when I kayaked I saw a bald eagle and 50+ pelicans! This was my first time visiting Missouri and this spot was definitely one of my highlights.

This site was spacious, and just like it was described. It was extremely close to the lake, and well maintained.

This campsite was perfect for a fishing trip with the guys. While the water was low near the campsite, the access to the lake was incredible. Michael's storied collection of watercraft made it easy for us to get on the water and make way to deeper parts of the lake. There were lots of critters and wildlife to observe near the campsite, and a massive fire pit with plenty of fire wood generously offered for our use. We didn't have a chance to hike the trail, but the property is beautiful so I expect it is as well. Michael made sure to let us know he wasn't too far if we need anything. Our interactions with him were pleasant, and he has many stories to share.
Michael has done a great job outfitting the camp with benches and fixtures that make it appealing. It is primitive enough, but has amenities that make it attractive for casual campers as well. You won't regret staying at this campsite!

Private Respite
We had an amazing time. It was quiet and peaceful. The water is so calming. There are so many things to do from canoeing/kayaking to fishing to cornhole. The site is very spacious and can accommodate multiple tents. We spent most of our time hanging out by the fire reading and knitting and talking. It was a nice respite. We love the secluded/private feeling of the site.
