4 Reviews

Two Rivers Backcountry Camping, near Eminence, Missouri, is a fantastic spot for those who love the great outdoors. With its riverfront campsites, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water and the beauty of spring-fed rivers right at your doorstep.

This campground is perfect for tent camping, RVs, or even glamping if you’re feeling fancy. Visitors rave about the clear, beautiful waters and the large, private spots available. One camper mentioned, “We had a section of the river to ourselves,” which is a nice perk for those looking for a bit of solitude. Just be prepared for a rocky site; air mattresses work wonders here!

You’ll find plenty of activities nearby, including floating trips and exploring the stunning springs that dot the area. There’s an outfitter right at the campground for those who want to rent canoes or rafts, making it easy to dive into some water fun. Plus, the surrounding scenery is a treat, with tree-lined banks and dramatic cliffs that make for great photo ops.

While the campground doesn’t have showers or electric hookups, it does offer drinking water and picnic tables for your convenience. Some campers noted a few bugs, but that’s just part of the outdoor experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with plenty of natural beauty, Two Rivers Backcountry Camping is definitely worth a visit.

Riverfront campsites, beautiful spring-fed waters, clear water

We loved our waterfront campsite. We had a section of the river to ourselves and it was a large private spot.

The site was rocky, so mats would be hard (but we had an air mattress, so we were fine).

The water is spring-fed and very clear and beautiful.

Be sure to visit the nearby springs and sites of the recreational area. The springs are so deep blue and dramatic against the rocky cliffs.

Hearing the sounds of the river and the chirping birds at night was amazing.

It was a bit buggy but we were prepared.

Great FCFS camping along Ozark NSR!

We took a last-minute trip on a beautiful weekend in June 2020 to get outside (responsibly) during the pandemic. Two Rivers campground did not disappoint! We were able to get a first come first served site around 4:30p on a Friday - it was one of two remaining sites so we likely lucked out. The campground had gnats, but we didn’t get too many mosquitos so for that we were grateful. There were several other groups who were camping there to go floating; there is an outfitter right at the campground with a small convenience store in a trailer. They coordinate float trips and rent canoes and rafts. We didn’t float this time, but would definitely consider returning to do so! Would recommend going for sites on the outside of the ring, if possible - these seemed to have more shade and a tad more privacy.
