Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Devil's Den State Park adventure.
Hike past ancient rock formations or take a pedalboat out on the lake.
Developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s, this park features miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails, including the Butterfield Hiking Trail, a 15-mile-long backpacking trail that takes hikers past rock formations and panoramic viewpoints. Other highlights include the eight-acre Lake Devil—a hit among anglers and boaters—and the area’s great lodging options, all surrounded by Ozark National Forest. Devil’s Den Campground features 135 campsites, including some hike-in tent camping sites, plus 17 cabins with kitchens and six barebones camper cabins with outdoor picnic tables. There's also a horse camp with hookups, a group camp, and a seasonal cafe.
The park and its visitor center are open year-round for camping and day use, though some restrooms and bathhouses are closed during winter. The swimming pool is only open between Memorial Day and Labor Day, while the park store and canoe and pedal boat rentals are open from March through mid-November. Interpretive programs and ranger-led hikes are offered throughout the year, and the Ozark Mountain Bike Festival is held every spring.
