About this campground

Watkins Mill State Park southwest of Lawson Missouri offers partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping near the shores of a recreational lake. A paved bike trail circles the fishing lake.

What campers say

Watkins Woolen Mill State Park blends a well‑preserved historic mill and house with a large lake, trails and comfortable campsites. Visitors commonly praise the informative, engaging guided tours and the park’s upkeep, plus easy access to hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and birdwatching. Camping sites feel roomy and many offer electricity only, so those using onboard water should monitor supply. The beach and trail loop are popular for families, though the beach has limited shade and no lifeguard. Note there are sensible restrictions around the historic structures (including pet and artifact rules) and staff enforcement can be firm.
