Circle J Will Stay A Campground

An area campground that was in danger of possibly becoming something else will remain what it was originally intended for. The new owners of Circle J campground in Laclede County announced they will keep the property as a campground after purchasing the property and the Circle J cafe at an auction this week for $415,000. The property had been seized by the federal government in late September after the previous owners failed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes since 2003.
