Early Spring fishing/camping possibilities

Still no definite plans or camping reservations made,  Leaning towards the white river below Bull shoals and renting a boat, or the Eminence area and renting Kayaks or a canoe on the Jacks Fork or the Current.  The Meramec is also in the mix, if the river should happen to be to high to float I would have the Trout parks to fall back on.

thats a great idea.  if you want to boondock, Check out the 11pt, there are primitive campsites there and you can take kayaks and fish. also down here in arkansas there are plenty of rv places around the buffalo river and sylamore creek

We stayed as Circle B in Eminence this year. Nice place, but nothing special. The Jack's was too low to float at the time, so we just ran over to the Current to float & fish.

We stayed at Circle B last year for the eclipse. We didn't float or fish just drove the Current River conservation area the Peck Ranch looking for the Elk. We did drop down to Greer for a couple days of primitive camping with hopes of fishing the 11 point but at that time rain had moved in and was forecast to continue for 24-48 hrs so we called it and made the journey back home.   It is still on my hit list though!

Last I knew you can only pull doubles in MO if the primary is a 5th wheel.

While that is most common I don't believe its a Missouri law.

Some states do specify the primary be 5th wheel, some  require driver license endorsements;   as far as I know Mo. doesn't, but they do have width, height and combined length limitations and braking recommendations.
