Located off of county road 520 outside of the small town of Marble Hill, Missouri lies a hidden gem that reminds many of childhood summers. Some spend many weekends there while others may only visit during holidays or just for the day. But one thing is for sure: everyone is there for good old fashioned camping at it's best.
Whippoorwill Lake provides something for everyone. Fishing there is a favorite pastime for young and old alike.

For those who prefer to watch the fish instead, you can take a trip down to the pier and throw in a handful of fish food to watch them swarm.

If it gets too hot, taking a dip at the beach and maybe even a dive off of the dock will be sure to cool you down.
Kids will love the slide
BBQ, campfires, and s'mores are sure to give it the camping feel. There are plenty of spots for campers or to pitch a tent beside the lake as well as cabins for rent.
Some weekends you can kick back and listen to a bluegrass band or even karaoke.

There is a small store on site that will offer most of your camping necessities. Firewood and ice is also available for purchase.

There are even a few water vessels available for rent including paddle boats and a bounce pad. There are games to play such as horseshoes, basketball, and volleyball.

Memories are sure to be made at Whippoorwill. Some of ours include 4 of the children learning to swim there. So if you are ever in Southeast Missouri, make sure to put this spot on your bucket list and make some memories of your own!
