Maumee South Access Buffalo River Camping Area

Maumee South is a large, free primitive camping area in the lower Buffalo National River district with 6 designated campsites featuring picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern hooks, plus a vault toilet with limited servicing.

Located 7 miles off Highway 27 north of Morning Star on paved and gravel roads, the campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no water or trash services—campers must be completely self-sufficient.

Drive-in camping is not permitted on the scenic gravel bar, though the area offers beautiful river and cliff views ideal for paddling and fishing access.
