Sugar Camp Road

Sugar Camp Scenic Byway is a picturesque gravel road south of Roaring River State Park in the Mark Twain National Forest. This scenic drive winds through the rolling Ozark hills, offering peaceful solitude and sweeping views on both sides of the ridge.

The byway consists primarily of well-maintained gravel, suitable for any vehicle. Numerous side trails branch off the main road, inviting additional exploration for those looking to wander deeper into the forest. The route’s gentle curves and gradual grades make it an enjoyable and relaxed drive through the heart of the Ozarks. The road can be washboarded after rain.

Primitive campsites can be found along the roadside, many shaded by oak and pine with easy pull-offs for overlanders or tent campers. Several overlooks along the ridgeline offer excellent valley views, making them ideal for a quick stop, a photo, or a quiet lunch with a stunning view.
