Big Lake State Park is set to reopen next Friday, May 23, for Memorial Day Weekend, three years after a levee breach destroyed the camping ground.

There are 58 electric camp sites, 18 basic camp sites and one shower house. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the day use area, which includes a shelter with capacity for 100 people. The boat ramp will also be available for recreational use of the oxbow lake for which the park is named.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources says campsites will be available first come, first served through June 30. Starting June 1, visitors will be able to make reservations for July 1 arrival online at mostateparks.com or by calling 1-877-ICampMo.

Big Lake State Park is located 11 miles southwest of Mound City on Highway 111 in Holt County.
