Ozark National Scenic Riverways

Overview

In the rolling, forested landscapes around Pulltite, two of America's most beautiful spring-fed rivers combine to make up the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. As the first national park area to protect a wild river system, visitors have plenty of scenic water activities to enjoy as well as hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing.

Recreation

The Current River flows past the campground, offering excellent canoeing, tubing, swimming and fishing. Over 130 miles of waterways exist within the park. Canoe and kayak rentals and outfitters can be found nearby. The historic Pulltite Cabin is across the river from the campground. The only way to see the cabin is by boat or by wading across the river. The cabin is next to scenic Pulltite Spring, for which the campground is named. Several miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the region, include the Alley Overlook Trail, Chubb Hollow Trail, Ozark Trail, Cave Spring Trail and Big Springs Trail.

Facilities

This year-round campground has flush toilets and showers facilities available April 15 through October 15. Picnic tables, fire rings, and grills are provided. Roads and parking spurs are paved. Ranger-led campfire programs are offered in the campground amphitheater during summer months.

Natural Features

The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is known for its caves, springs, sinkholes and losing streams, and features over 300 identified caves within its boundaries. They range in size from a rock overhang to almost seven miles of identified passages. Eight caves, including an open sinkhole, have been designated as outstanding natural features. The Ozark forest is mostly White oak and Shortleaf pine, Missouri's only native pine species. Along the rivers, Sycamore, Cottonwood, River birch and maples are common. Redbud and Dogwoods are also abundant, putting on a spectacular show during most spring months.

Nearby Attractions

Scenic Round Spring Cave is nearby, with ranger-guided tours offered daily during summer months. Historic and picturesque Alley Mill and Alley Spring are also nearby. The mill is open daily in the summer and rangers offer tours upon request.

28' in site 52

Super easy to get my 28' trailer backed into site 52. Getting it level was manageable. The site is not paved and parked on grass. It rained everyday and the tires may have sunk in a little bit. There were several fresh water hydrants in the campground and two about 60 yards on either side of site 52. I used Echo State Park to dump when leaving. The non-potable water tower's elbow nozzle was removable to fit my own hose and flush the black tank.

We went during the week and the campground was less than a quarter full. We left on a Thursday and knew it was going to be full for the weekend. Only a couple of the 20 FF sites were being used by Thursday and something to remember for future trips.

The store sold firewood, can't remember how much for a bundle. The store also had wifi, but it was very slow. We used the picnic table on a slope to sort of sit and check emails and the weather or sat on the rock wall across the road at the bathrooms. Anywhere else did not get a connection. No TMobile service.

There is a very nice trail with the trailhead near the group sites. It goes through different terrains, including along the river bank. When looking back at the pictures we took during that section it looks so nice, but we hurried through it due to the mosquitoes. The trail section that went on higher ground didn't have mosquitoes, but used a stick to knock down webs. Lots of different flowers to view along the trail. There's a small section along the river that wasn't maintained well and I had to re-find the trail. Not a big deal, but hopefully the trail maintenance crew can fix it. The rest of the trail was very well maintained and easy to follow.

I used the very clean bathrooms towards the group sites, which I think I was the only person to use. The bathrooms near the entrance were clean too. I didn't use the showers, but they have them.

The river access behind site 52 is pretty cool with a short sandy trail to the bank. There were moments of no rain and I was able to setup a hammock on the bank. If it wasn't raining I would have gone every day.

Group Site 2

We’ve been floating here for 6 years now and we’ve only ever used the group sites 2 & 3. Each site is spacious and plenty of hammock trees and little corners for tents if you want a little privacy from the group. You also have a trail that leads down to a little private beach area on the river but this past year the campground was so full, people were camping right on the beach. Kinda yucked my yum, but hey, we all wanna be outside. The camp staff and river roadies were pleasant enough and had us set up before we even walked down to launch. We’ll definitely keep coming back every year.

Nice, but usually busy

Paved throughout. Plenty of clean restrooms and showers. MAKE RESERVATIONS! This campground exploded in the last few years and it's always packed when we go anymore is the only downside. Nice, basic and electric sites. Riverfront sites also. Some group sites there also. Floating can be reserved at the campground store.
