Bar-k Wrangler Campsite is an amazing, special place. By far my favorite free camping area in Missouri. This part of the Mark Twain National Forest is beautiful and the Swan Creek Recreation Area has something to offer for everyone. Swan creek has crystal clear water and there are dozens of Scenic hiking trails. There are only 3 campsites with picnic tables near the creek but there are dozens of hidden campsites and fire rings throughout the entire area. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful no hassle no reservations needed place to camp for free.

Good camping and place to relax. Water was lower than last year but stand or sit in the water.

As expected it's primitive. Does have a campground style bathroom though.

As of the last time I visited, it was free. I will update, if it is not, next time I visit. There has been rumor of them wanting to start charging, because people have been trashing the place. So, in light of that, I say... Take nothing but pictures, and leave nothing but footprints, please. Remember to pack in, pack out. Whatever you bring with you, leaves with you. There aren't very many free places to camp, these days, anymore, because of this being a problem. Take care of nature. Thank you.As for my review of the place...It's pretty much a place for people to bring their horses in, camp, and ride around on horse trails, through the woods. There's a few campsites throughout premises, kind of dispersed. There's a group campsite area, for horse trailers, and then some of the other campsites are further away, so that you are isolated from other sites. There are lots of pretty views, here, so, it is a highly recommended place to visit, if you like boondock type camping and/or hiking. The only facilities available are vaulted toilets, and there is limited to no cell signal. Otherwise, it's just nature, some trails, and a few campsites.Deuteronomy 23:12-13 (seriously, you should look that one up, if you're walking trails or camping)

HORSE CAMP... only wish hikers would not take all the good spaces for them and their tents... they can camp anywhere out in the woods. Also, leash is required with dogs...

I use to love this place years ago. It isn't near as beautiful as it use to be. There's huge trees blocking the river from flowing. I was pretty disappointed about driving all the way there to see it like that.

I have grown up riding these trails and camping down here, I am now able to do the same with my kids. Many great trails for hiking and horse back riding, you are right down by the creek. Peaceful of a night with a great view of the stars, and listening to the sounds of wildlife. Couldn't ask for better.
