If that is the case, it says different from their rules and regulations.
However, they do leave each park to make it's own rules as they see fit. I
guess they get a lot of people camping close to the park in the summer and it
causes the shut-ins to be overcrowded. I really don't think you would have a
problem camping within 1/2 a mile. As I have said before, I have done it lots
of times and never had anyone come down the trail and tell me to move..

I have no idea where you heard that... It is suppose to be .5 miles from
any state park or private campground. All state parks have walk-in sites for
backpackers free of charge. There are some areas that are off limits such as
waterfalls, caves, etc... I have backpacked that route many times and have
camped at the flatrocks just south of Proffit Mountain. I have also camped
about 3/4 of a mile from Johnson Shutins along the creek. My favorite spot is
up by the old reservoir.

I have been thining about camping towards Johnson Shut Ins along the
Ozark Trail, also getting the Proffit Mountian cache. When questioning about
where to set up a camp at, they said at least 3 miles away from the Park
Boundry.
My question is, why do they require to be 3 miles outside the park
boundry? Wouldnt a mile or even outside the boundry be enough?
