  Join me at Mark Twain State Park for the weekend of June 27 – 29. (Arrive Friday evening or Saturday).
  
  Mark Twain State Park
  
  We’ll be car camping at the lake so this is a family friendly event for all skill levels and boat sizes or types — including paddleboarding. We’ll be exploring some of the river like arms of the lake but you can also just swim, hike, bike, fish, or even go antiquing at some of the nearby small towns.
  
  As of May 23rd, there are 70 camping sites available. Make your reservations here: Mark Twain Lake Campsite Reservations
  
  More details to follow as the date gets closer.

  Eileen, This sounds like fun! Do you recommend one of the three campsites?

    Karla,
    
    I’m in Puma. I drove through all the campgrounds last year on a scouting trip and you could see the lake from some of the campsites. Seemed to be up high so there would be a breeze. All of them are nice though.

  Hey Eileen. Sounds fun. I got reservations and will see you there. (Mark Twain State Park – Puma Campground – Electric 50 amp – 086) I didn’t know which campground to pick so we might be spread out.

  Karla,
  
  I’m in Puma, 094 so not very far away. And unfortunately, there is no way we can ensure everyone is close together. If this works out, I’ll look at booking group sites for future trips. I do want to do more of these multi-sport, car camping weekends.

  Did you get an email after you made this post? I have not been getting emails for any of my posts even though I usually click on “Notify me of follow-up replies via email.”.

  I just booked Puma 096. It’ll be me and my husband and our 2 kiddos (7 and 9). I’m leaning towards bringing our short boats.

  Glad you and your family are coming!
  
  Yes, I am bringing my 14’ kayak. I have no intention of going anywhere near the high traffic areas
