Welcome To Big Larrys Campground
When Larry Niemeyer took his daughter, Lisa on childhood camping trips, he always walked out of the campground saying one thing, Those camp sites were too small! It was usually followed with Larry stating that one day he would have a campground with campsites big enough for all of your camping and fishing equipment and room to spare.
On July 4, 2005, that dream became a reality when Big Larrys Campground opened its doors- or gates, so to speak, just up the road from Mark Twain Lake! Looking around the campground today, its hard to believe it was originally a soybean field. Now, it is home to 79 full-service RV campsites.
Big Larrys Campground offers everything campers could ever want or need in a campground. The oversize lots allow RV owners to park their camper and have more than enough room for a boat, Jet Ski, grill, seating area or even a dog kennel.
With the annual rates that are available, campers really get to know each other and take pride making their site a true home away from home. This gives our campground the feeling of a community for families, complete with all-campground events like a chili cook-off and cookout.
There are no less than four boat ramps and a public swimming beach within five miles of the campground. When campers finish cruising and fishing Mark Twain Lake, they can come back here and dangle their hook in our fully-stocked catch-and-release lake.

Relaxing And Quiet Time
Enjoy the serenity of the Park area. The location of Emerald Oaks RV Park is a perfect location for reducing traffic noise, the hustle bustle of Lake activity and still offers accessibility to a variety of activities. Just kick back and enjoy the sunshine or watch the ducks on the pond. Throw a hook in the water and see what you might catch.
