Lightfoot Landing

Overview

Lightfoot Landing is a smaller campground compared to neighboring park areas, making it a more quiet and peaceful location for boating and fishing on Pomme de Terre Lake, known as the ''Gem of the Ozarks.''

Recreation

The lake is well known for fishing, with one of the highest catch ratios in the country. Species include bass, catfish, walleye and crappie, but the lake is probably best known for its muskie, which is stocked each fall.

Both canoeing and power boating are popular on the lake, with a good amount of water skiing and other water activities taking place.

Facilities

Lightfoot Landing has 35 sites with electric and water hookups, including one that is accessible. Additional amenities include a shower house, boat ramp with courtesy dock, dump station, playground, horse shoe pits, and a picnic shelter.

Natural Features

The Pomme de Terre River and Lindley Creek are the major sources for Pomme de Terre Lake, which spans 7,790 sparkling surface acres, with 113 miles of shoreline.

I was very impressed by the serenity and a most picturesque view that greeted us every morning and so often noticed throughout the day. The site was clean and well maintained. We had a great stay.

Love Lightfoot Landing! Been going there for 40+years. Only negative I would say is they need to remove dead limbs from trees above sites. RV's are not made well enough to withstand a lamb falling on them. Campers would use the limbs for firewood.
