Rippee Access (Missouri) The 2008 (A) Gathering of the Tribes (Ozarks)  
will be celebrated at Rippee Access State Forest in South Central  
Missouri along the scenic Bryant Creek. This location is just East of  
Ava Missouri and situated on the upper foot hills of the Ozarks.

This area is reasonably flat with lots of sweet shade, loving meadows  
and has a large clear spring with easy walking access to the creeks  
and rivers. Site is very large and people friendly with some shallow  
wading pools, recreational waters, trees to play under, caves, hiking  
trails and lots of downed oak and hickory for camp fires. We encourage  
you to bring water containers & filters, tarps, cooking equipment,  
C.A.L.M supplies, and tools to help make this a truly wonderful  
experience for the family to enjoy.

Directions: Rippee Access is located eleven miles east of Ava Missouri  
off Highway 14, then 1.5 miles south on County Road 328.

As always, please drive cautiously as the local deer population is  
successfully on the rise. Portions of the roadway in some areas have  
sharp curves and occasionally have steep grades. Be aware that the  
State of Missouri actively engages in "Safety Check Points" along most  
any County or State roadway. Seat belts must be worn by all passengers  
and proof of insurance is often require. Travel Safe and always  
maintain your vehicle for best performance and hassle free motoring.


Rippee Access has recently been posted with new rules and guidelines.  
Developed camping areas are restricted to 10 people per campsite. It  
is recommended that these spots be saved for the handi-family,   
special needs and other citizens use. We highly encourage folks to  
camp respectfully along the river gravel bars, in the woods, along the  
edge of the fields and other ideal places that disappear easily. Help  
support the river clean-up efforts, remove any and all trash you find!  
Please be aware that there are private properties adjoining the site.  
Use respect and do not trespass any boundary markers.

Busses welcomed - No steep grades, solid hard packed gravel with no  
overhangs, lots of parking in many areas.
