Beautiful camp site and hiking trails. We personally got the walk-in campsite where we can just set up a camp/hammocks. It has a nice little fire pit with a grill as well as a table with bench. There is bathrooms if needed as well as a wash area if needed. There is the option to have a drive in for larger campers to go glamping. But I can’t really speak on that end except that it seems spacious and clean and I believe some plugs for electricity. As for the hiking trails, there are two options one short and one long. Both are really beautiful and the longer one is walking distance from the camp. Either way, very beautiful and it is nice because the scenery and trail changes a bit so it doesn’t get boring. Friendly camp host as well and friendly neighbors. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a campsite for any level.

Four stars is a bit strong, but I liked the spacious private showers, although not all have a bench and each one is push-button timed out at 1 MINUTE. C'mon people, who takes a shower in just 60 seconds (it takes that long for the water just to warm up enough)! At least there's no restriction on cycles and no fee required. BTW, you have NO control over water temp. The route in is a scenic, winding and hilly drive that deposits you into a low-lying pine forest miles from civilization, with sketchy cellphone/internet service. The only amenity is a simple kid's playground. The concrete sites are roomy, but not installed to drain rain water. And the campground roads are paved (^5).

Hawn State Park was absolutely marvelous! I went there with my friend the other day, walking around and seeing and listening to the beautiful creek, being able to just exist in the moment, smell the fresh air was amazing! I cant wait to go again, i really hope to come here again during the summer!

The picnic area was pretty nice with a small little playground. The trail was nice was not for little kids in my opinion. The creek has lots of slippery rocks. We saw some cool lizards with bright blue tails. The campground looks really good and maintained.

can you fish

Ann Christensen | Feb 6, 2021

The stream is more like a creek, so while I'm sure you could fish (with a MO permit) I'm not sure how successful you will be. I suggest St. Francois state park for fishing.

If you are talking about backpack camping on one of the trails then, no reservations are required. Also there is no payment required either.

Are thier water hookups?

Shelia Vehlewald | Feb 7, 2019
Norm Birtley | Feb 8, 2019

No water hook ups at Hawn. They do have a single spigot that is on all Winter.

Is there any spots for swimming or anything?

Austin Bogle | Feb 7, 2019
cliff joggerst | Feb 8, 2019

There are a few spots for kids to play in the water close to the camp ground. If you know the park and the streams that run through, there are deeper swimming holes which are very secluded and require a few miles of a hike.
