Spring River Oaks
Bad experience
Was extremely dissatisfied with the whole experience. Bad service with staff and dirty accommodations. Noisey at night. Never going back. Also overpriced.
Alley Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Needs tent pads
Pretty campground with river access and accessible restrooms. Showers were a little far from our loop. I wish the sites had tent pads as it was hard to find a flat spot to place the tent and several holes in the terrain. There is NO cell signal, so I highly recommend you take a weather radio. I wish we had.
Round Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Choose Tent Site Carefully
Positives: Tranquil little campground with beautiful spring and cave. Quiet, shady, has two points of river access, group sites, and steaming hot showers. Close to Echo Bluff State Park, Current River State Park, and Eminence, MO.
Negatives: Test sites are hit or miss. Sites 1-18 are fairly small and not very level. Sites 19-29 have larger, more level areas. 30-39 are kind of mixed. Many sites have steps up of down to the site from the road. There is no cell service available, so make sure you have made reservations before you get here. Closest cell service is up the road at Echo Bluff State Park.
Other info: You may get lucky and see otters on your way to the spring, or some of the wild horses in the area. Go in the early morning to the spring trail to watch the mist roll off the water and enjoy the wildlife - so otherworldly.
Cave tours are available June - Oct., but even if you visit is outside of this window, the walk to the cave is kind of magical.
If you walk to the spring overlook, you'll also encounter a portion of the Ozark Trail. About a half a mile down the Ozark Trail you can cross the Current River on a pedestrian bridge which is a pretty cool experience.
Bathrooms available on the upper camping loop, but the showers are located on the bottom loop (three family style showers). Fantastic water pressure.
Host was friendly even when he had to tell us we couldn't hang hammocks in National Park campgrounds.
While you're there drive down to Alley Spring for a nice hike, another beautiful spring and historic mill, and at the camp store you can get a National Parks Passport stamp (located in the screened in porch) for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
We stayed in site 13 which is located directly behind the bathrooms. Good if you have to go all the time, bad if you don't like to hear loud toilet flushes. Very shady site.
Powder Mill Backcountry Camping — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Quiet spot
Found this by accident-the site we originally were going to as dispersed was literally under water from all the recent rain. For a three night stay, we were the only ones there. Except the random cars who visited between midnight and three AM and just hung out. That was unsettling but nothing happened. A NFS Ranger did circle around once.
Popular spot on the weekend to launch boats. There is a vault toilet but that is all the amenities offered. Of the six sites, some are a bit wild, but usable. We stayed at spot three, which has a great view of, and access to, the Current River.
The Blue Springs Trail that is located at campground was flooded over about a third of the way in with no safe way around. The trail is also not maintained, with lots of downed large trees and copious ticks.
Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park
Great tent camping!
Love tent camping! Secluded and shaded. I want a few years back and it was lovely can’t wait to see if there have been updates!
Current River Recreation Area
Loved it
Wow, what an incredible weekend we had at the CurrantRiver Campground From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a sense of adventure. The campground itself was well-maintained, with clean facilities and spacious campsites that offered just the right amount of privacy.
The highlight of our trip was, of course, the canoeing experience. The staff provided top-notch equipment and safety instructions, making us feel confident even though we were beginners. Paddling down the scenic Currant River was an absolute joy. The water was crystal clear, and the surrounding nature was breathtaking. We encountered some gentle rapids, which added a thrill to the journey without being too challenging for novices like us.
One thing that stood out was the wildlife we spotted along the way – eagles, deer,It felt like a true escape into nature.
The team made our trip unforgettable. They were knowledgeable about the area, provided great tips for navigating the river, and ensured our safety at all times. We also appreciated the convenience of shuttle service back to the campground after our float trip.
Overall, this place exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return. If you're looking for a relaxing yet adventurous getaway in the heart of Missouri this is it

Big Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
one of my favorite places
This campground is a must visit. Obviously the main attraction is the amazing and magical spring. Flowing 226 million gallons a day! Campground is beautifully manicured and has spacious sites and many options. It's a self serve campground so pay at the front. The hot water in the showers was out but still giving it 5 stars because this place is just great. The cabins are super cute cottages that are being remodeled right now, and I can't wait! The trails are well kept and moderately challenging. I highly recommend camping here dont forget to bring in your own firewood.
Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park
Absolutely perfect!
First, the park hosts were so friendly, helpful and hard working. They kept everything spotless! Bathrooms and showers were a 10. Grounds were a 10. Location and surroundings were gorgeous. Sites were spacious and there’s not a “bad” site in the whole park. It was Peaceful and quiet at night. We walked through the walk in tent camping area and it was amazing. Sites were big, private and spread out through the woods with wooden platforms. Path through the area was gravel and very well maintained. The Betty Lea Lodge was close and had an awesome store and gift shop. We will definitely be back!
Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park
Great place!!
Great place to stay. Easy to get checked in staff is super helpful. Quiet campground not a lot of loud music and people. Other campers are super friendly and nice. Bluffs at at the lodge are amazing to see. Will definitely be coming back!!
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Peaceful stay
It was a great stay! Site 10 had a beautiful view of the lake. Multiple restrooms but no showers. Each site was paved with a picnic table and fire pit. The only complaint would be the enormous amount of bugs.
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Quiet and nice
This was a great stay! Nice and peaceful, great company with total strangers on the next site over. Campsites are spaced out nicely. There are only a handful of sites that are suitable for tents as each site varies on cleared area. No water or electricity that we seen. Boat launch and floating dock are just a short walk from any camp site. We stayed at campsite #5 and it was spacious for our tent. Dumpster for trash is next to the bathrooms across from site #3 & 4. Asphalt road through the camping area and Asphalt pulloffs at each site. Chiggers and bugs are an issue here so bring plenty of Off. We stayed 10 nights and we will definitely mark this one down on our list. Truck Stop 1 mile east for ice, food and drinks. There is a small grocery store about 18 miles west with a great selection. Picnic table and fire pit at each site. Free wood laying all over the place, when the management team cut trees down they leave them there for campers to use.
River Road Park
Pretty but noisy
The campsite has a lot of great spots. It's really close to the water and a beautiful area. There is a lot of traffic that comes through from people going to the lake. It was very noisy from loud vehicles and not very relaxing. We packed up and left after one night.
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Plenty of wood there for accessible burning
Does have restroom and fire rings with a grill
Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park
Long weekend stay
I took the day off on Friday so we could have a full weekend of camping. We originally planned to go to Buffalo River in Arkansas, but there was a lot of rain in the area so we decided to check out Echo Bluff State Park instead.
I’m glad we did! It was beautiful and our campsite 🏕️ was perfect. There was a wooden platform that kept us drier than we might have been when it rained Saturday night and some water got in a few of the seams of our tent 😅
We tried to catch some fish in Sinkin’ Creek Friday and Saturday but no luck. The cool water felt wonderful both days but chasing away the copperheads 🐍 Saturday that were likely scaring away the fish 🐟 was so not fun 😂 neither was finding a tick on my arm but we found it soon enough to get it off without issue. We also successfully avoided all the poison ivy 🌱
Bf made some delicious steaks 🥩(as always 🤤) hot dogs 🌭, sausages and bacon 🥓
I don’t know where we’ll go next but I know it will be just as fun! And despite everything, we plan to return here at some point soon!!!
Also there is WiFi in the rv area and at the lodge. Otherwise absolutely no service for ATT or Verizon and I would imagine several others
Piedmont Park
Boating, Swimming, & Fishing
We stayed here when the Clear Water Lake was at record flooding level, boat docks were cut off from any foot traffic. So we had the campground mostly to ourselves. Bald Eagle flew above us! Nice place.
Jewells RV Park
Not ideal
We stopped in for an overnight and weren't impressed when we got there. The trees are overgrown and the spots are very poorly laid out. We have a 37 foot 5er and had to do some difficult maneuvering to get turned around when we left. The owner took cash only, didn't register us in any way, and frankly overcharged for what we got.
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Nice Spot!
Stayed 1 night and enjoyed clean restrooms and showers. Would have loved more time to hike, park is huge! Price was ok for the spot but looked like it could get muddy really easy after rain.
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Beautiful Surprise
I pulled in after dark. Found it quite easy to navigate the park & find a spot for the night. Woke to a beautiful view of the lake. Very easy access off the road and still quiet, fire pits & picnic tables. A very lovely place.
Arrowhead Campground
Unclean and unkempt grounds and sights from entrance
Went to stay here and the place looks rundown. so we asked to see the grounds. The guy acts as if he is confused and then we explain how we heard of them and he insists we never sent him a Facebook message. Which we did not send and told him, so it is clear he was being condescending! There are much better places to stay in the area and nearby! Don’t go here unless you want to be talked down to or cussed out by a weird woman hiding inside the hut!
Shawnee Creek Backcountry Camping — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Best Campground Ever
If you want to see the wild horses of Shannon County, this is the place to stay. Right on the Jack's Fork, so beautiful. New bathrooms, but everything else is primitive. Equestrian sites down the road in both directions. $10 a night!
Richard's Canoe Rental & Campground
Great Place with Homey Feel
$10 per night, firewood, ice, and more amenities on site. The owner is so nice. His dog Lil' Dan also slept with me. There is a horse next to the camp sites and it's just so beautiful. Float launches from the campground, so convenient. Close to Grand Gulf, Greer Spring, Mammoth Spring, and right on beautiful highway 19. I will be back soon!
Davidsonville Historic State Park Campground
Beautiful Small Campground
Beautiful, peaceful, smaller campground with a small lake, a river, hiking trails and historic sites with interpretive signage. We had a 50amp FHU site and were able to get our 44' 5th wheel in site #2, which allowed us a lovely view of the lake. It would be easier to back rigs into the sites if they didn't have the wooden signs at the entrance to each site with the site#, but we got in with lots of back and forthing. Larger sites, beautiful trees and surrounded by the changing colors of the leaves in mid-October.
Big Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Nice park
Great park lots to do- hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking, etc Nice paved site a bit on the small side- I have a 36’ 5th wheel and am pushing the max site, older park so smaller site but pretty!
Harveys Circle B Campground
Nice spot
Perfect in the off season. People were wonderful and you are right next to the water. Pickup for float trips is nice too
If the facilities are great it would be five stars. They were not bad, but a little dated and not well set up for camper showers. Clean though.
Pinewoods Lake Rec Area — Mark Twain National Forest
Quiet off the road stay
We stopped at a dollar general in town and picked up all the supplies and food we’d need. Camp was 3 minutes down the road. We found a spot right the water - nice and level - and got set up really quick. Good view of the water and plenty of walking trails. Sites have nice metal fire pits and nice metal picnic tables. There are no showers or running water in the bathrooms, nor any trash cans. A really good primitive place to camp right off of route 60.
Alley Spring Campground — Ozark National Scenic Riverway
Nice level sites
Nice level sites well spaces. A good size campground with onle one loop with water & electri hook ups. very small loop. Fills up early.Reservations recommened, especially on weekends.
No cell service at all.
