I am from South Missouri, but have actually lived in Long Branch State Park for about 10 years. I started camping in a travel trailer by myself when I was just 16. I am not alone that often anymore though. I have camped in campers and tents all over Missouri and several western states. If you want some ideas or suggestions I can probably help you out. Or if you just want to visit the park with the best public beach in North Missouri I can help accommodate you with that as well. Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you!
