Hazel Creek Campground
MO · Potosi
Hwy Z / Brazil Road campground entrance
Hazel Creek has the appeal of a place that feels genuinely out there. The campground is primitive, the setting is quiet and the access to long Ozark Trail mileage gives the destination much more weight than a simple campground stop might imply. With equestrian use baked into the experience, it reads as a true trail-rider base rather than an afterthought. For riders who like simplicity, distance and a stronger sense of remoteness, it is a compelling choice.
