Camping with accessible fishing walking distance

[BrianJenn]

Hello, me and my wife are looking to go camping at Bennett springs and do some trout fishing this spring. We were looking for a campsite that is within walking distance to go fishing. We have a jeep with a rooftop tent, so it would be nice to leave it set up and just walk to fish.

Tent Camping is up the hill. So it will be a walk.

Try Montauk, stay in loop 2 or 3 near the disabled access pier.

You can grab any site you want......and pitch your tent on it.   👍

Not sure on that but will cost more by the spring.

Let's see.....shall I walk an extra 2 miles a day in waders.......or pay 5.75 more for the campsite? 

Hmmm 🤔.

Actually it jumps from $13 for basic to $30 for the sewers in CG1 ~$17/day more and you are still in the tent.

Assuming that you want to be in the park, you can examine the maps and chose the sites most likely.

BSSP website

Park map this will show how the park is laid out, it doesn't show that most of it is steep hillside.

CG #1 map the only sites close to the water, RV hook up sites and tents pay full price or did back when.

CG #5

Interactive map  lets you zoom in and switch from road to aerial views the aerial zoomed in lets you see trees on the camp sites, CG#1  is right near where the spring joins the Niangua River.
