Echo Bluff State Park is a state park under development by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in Newton Township, Shannon County, Missouri. The park, located on Sinking Creek, is in close vicinity to Current River State Park. The park is planned to have a lodge for overnight stays in addition to basic and electric campsites. The park opened to the public on July 30, 2016.^[2]^[3]

The park is on the site of former Camp Zoe, which for many years was a summer camp for children. The camp was later bought by Jimmy Tebeau, a concert promoter who held a series of concerts at the site named "Schwagstock". Following a history of repeated drug violations at Schwagstock, the US Drug Enforcement Administration seized the property and subsequently auctioned it off. The Missouri DNR submitted the winning bid.^[1]
