John C. Briscoe Group Use Campground offers more than just a place to pitch your tent — it offers a return to what matters. Located just outside Perry, Missouri, our campground sits at the edge of the Osage National Forest, where the only schedules that matter are the rising and setting of the sun.
Whether you're leading a scout troop, gathering with family, or seeking solitude among the pines, we provide the perfect basecamp for your outdoor dreams. Simple facilities, generous sites, and an atmosphere that reminds you why you came in the first place.
Thoughtful amenities that keep you connected to the outdoors without sacrificing comfort
Generously sized sites that give you room to spread out, whether you're towing a trailer or flying light with a backpack and tent.
Direct access to hiking and nature trails through the Osage National Forest. Discover hidden waterfalls and ancient woodlands on your doorstep.
Designated fire rings and gathering spaces for evening stories, s'mores, and stargazing under the clearest skies in the region.
Open all seasons, each offering its own magic — from spring wildflowers to autumn colors to quiet, snow-dusted winter mornings.
Perfect for scout troops, family reunions, and group outings. Large sites accommodate multiple tents and vehicles with room to gather.
