JJ’s at the Copper Pot – Piano lounge is great for a glass of wine while listening to live piano music before indulging in prime rib and lobster tail and topping that off with a vanilla bean crème brulee.

Sightseeing

Just west of Camdenton, admission to this park is free. It’s easy to see why Ha Ha Tonka was named the most beautiful place in Missouri. Here you will find the ruins of a 1900s castle and estate. The scenery makes a stunning backdrop for pictures and several marked hiking trails feature scenic overlooks. There is also a castle built by Scottish stone masons. It was to rival European architecture of the time, but in 1942, a fire gutted the building.

Avoid Party Cove with guests Under 21

There are other coves you can ask locals for while there and on the lake that are family friendly. Party Cove is like Las Vegas at night....and then a lot more I'll leave at that!
