close camping?

[TJ-2thousand]

so i just found out a friend of mine has never been camping. i want to take her somewhere close. what is there that is close. and preferably near a river, or something.

can you camp at Buisick (sp)? any places at chadwick? i dont really like camping at a site, where other people are. so i kinda want a place in the woods by ourselves.


thanks

I've camped at Busiek before.  It was years ago, like 20+ though.

I'll ask around and see.  Most places I know are private property off of a river.

yes you can camp at Busik, you have to go to the conservation dept and get a permit.  its like $7 for the permit and you get to camp right there by the river.

[TJ-2thousand]

where do i get the permit at? and im not real familiar with busiek so could you point me in the right direction, to get to the river?


thanks

heres the link to some info:

when you take the exit and go down the hill stay to the left and the camping is that way. the camping is on the river.

thanks for the info! i have been mtn biking there a couple times, but havent really been too far into the park. and i have been over to the range too. are there usually very many people camping there?

[jpantleo]

no the last time i was down there, there was like a total of 4 people camping in 2 tents.....  but its been awhile since i have been there.

Where do I go to get a permit?  Thinking about taking my kid down there this weekend.

[TJ-2thousand]

missouri dept. of conservation. its on mayfair over by the high po office on keany and 65.

[jpantleo]

over by prime trucking as well.

TJ-2thousand:  did you have fun down there?

[TJ-2thousand]

yeah went last night. and the weather couldnt have been any better. :beerchug:

but for some reason there were people at the range till pretty late. and a fox tried to run off with our smors stuff.

the range is supposed to close at sunset... but I think there is only one conservation agent enforcing anything down there... he probably called it an early day.

[TJ-2thousand]

they were at the range till about 130. an agent pulled in to the lot and shined his spot light down towards us at about 1 am.

Thanks for the info, I was trying to decide wether to go camping saturday night or wheeling at Seymour sunday, then I thought of camping out there.  They still have primitive camping out there, correct?  Anyone going out this weekend?
