About

Ray Behrens is a scenic campground and recreation area located on the southeastern shores of Mark Twain Lake in north-central Missouri. The campground features three loops—Deer Run, Little Bluestem, and Cedar Ridge—all offering electric hookups with convenient access to showers and flush toilets. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including boating at the on-site marina, swimming, fishing, hiking, and picnicking on the 18,000-acre lake. The area is rich in literary history, as Mark Twain was born in the nearby village of Florida, and his boyhood home in Hannibal (25 miles east) is available for touring. The campground also offers playgrounds and an amphitheater for day-use activities, making it an ideal destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
