Float trip enthusiasts will find their base camp at Riverside Campground and Canoe, which sits directly on the Spring River in Mammoth Spring. The privately managed campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet and offers both drive-in and boat-in access, with sites ranging from primitive spots to full hookup options.
The campground operates a seasonal camp store and provides canoe rentals for river trips. Trout fishing draws many visitors to these waters. Shana D. notes this is a "large campground on Spring River with lots to offer" including "cabins, camper cabins, RV sites with water & elec and tons of primitive sites." Bathhouses stay clean according to multiple reviews. Quiet hours help families with children get rest.
Reservations are strongly recommended during warmer months when the campground fills to capacity. The facility prohibits pets entirely. Standard amenities include drinking water, restrooms, showers, and picnic tables, with firewood available for purchase. Cell service reaches most areas. Campers exploring the region can also check out camping near Cherokee Village for additional options in the Spring River corridor.
This campground works well for families wanting river access and groups planning multi-day float trips down the Spring River system.
