"It is still possible to enjoy the area and there are places to get away from the crowd.
In 2017 the area had a major flood and renovations are slow."
"Big Spring is a great, quiet spot to take in some hiking with access to the Current River."

"Chose this location to be our hub while completing a Missouri springs tour. Visited 8 springs in total. Checked out the camping facilities at every spring that offered camping."
"At this campground you have walking distance access to the river and a rental place nearby. Check out the Alley Mill while your there."
"This area has access to the shores of the current river. No campsites, just the open rocky shores. You can park right on the shores and set up camp. Beware!"
"This site was a fantastic spot hidden pretty far off the beaten path. We had to fjord an overflowing stream that went across the road but didn’t have any trouble in our Jeep Wrangler."
"We had a site very close to the entrance/store/showers this time. It was wonderful coming off of the river and being just steps away from our tent!"
"You can even have pizza delivered to your site, and are within walking distance to an ice cream shop, yet you don't feel like you're out of town."
"I love the shaded tent campsites and easy access to firewood, boat dock and open area perfect for large family gatherings"
"I hiked from McCormack Lake to here, which is only about 4 miles (unfortunately, though, some of the trail is quite overgrown.) However, most people just park at their campsite."
$15 - $25 / night
"Stopped here while passing through Missouri on a Saturday on 4th of July weekend and there were only 3 other campers when we arrived late afternoon."
"Just off highway, it is dispersed camping in a park that no longer charges, blacktop pad, lantern hook, picnic table, fire ring w cooking grate at ea site, vault toilets."
"This is really the gem of Missouri state parks. Rv sites are all full 30/50 amp with water and sewer. All spots have plenty of room but are back in. The pads are perfectly level and are concrete."
"Echo Bluff State Park is nestled in the heart of Missouri's Ozarks. This natural haven offers a perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers."
"River access and super close to stream/cave/waterfall area. Water from the cave is so fresh and clear! Truly a beautiful area!"
"going here and it is great , there is great trout fishing and several real good swing holes the campsites are right beside the river which is really nice , the only issue is the restroom is a little walk"
$10 - $25 / night
"Sweet place to camp and so close to the river. My kids and I loved it! Comfortable ,but no RV hook ups."
"Water moves a bit faster than most of the floating rivers/creeks in Missouri. Expect about 3-3.5 mph. Plenty of places to disperse camp between Tan Vat, down to Two Rivers Landing."
"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."
ScoutBathrooms are scary and the sites could be improved. Don’t forget the train!
GuideIf it wasn’t super rainy during the time we came here we would have stayed for a week or two. Sweet place to camp and so close to the river. My kids and I loved it! Comfortable ,but no RV hook ups.
TravelerThere are a small number of sites and they are difficult to find. To reserve for $10 per night you have to leave your things at the site and drive down to find the QR code by the bathrooms and book the site. Then the online booking wasn't working and wouldn't allow me to book the site and I spent an hour on the phone with the forest ranger who also didn't know what to do. It's beautiful but overwhelmingly noisy and busy on the weekend. People in your site who are going down the river stop to fish and eat and occupy your space. Trying to launch from your camp site. If you can get a chill few days in th week it's really wonderful and peaceful.
GuideAmazing camp ground, we got the best spot right on the water. It was quiet and relaxing. Plenty of downed wood for a fire. Great spot to put in kayaks. Managed to catch one fish! My only complaint is the bathroom was locked, definitely didn’t play on having to pee outside.
TravelerWe spent 3 week days camping here in our camper van. We snagged a spot with a river view. Campground was maintained by NPS, very clean. Nice restrooms with showers as well, potable water spigots. There is a herd of wild horses that frequents the area (as evidenced by mounds of horse poop in an adjacent field!) and you can easily walk over to the beautiful round spring. There is an on/off-loading area for canoes and kayaks. The RV and tent spots all looked mostly level. We saw a bald eagle and a very curious little otter down by the river. Close proximity to the ozark trail. We walked through the campground past the spring and caught a little trail that hooked up with the ozark trail and had a lovely day hike around a loop. It was perfect.
When we were there in April there were only a handful of other campers there and we tons of quiet and privacy, however, I imagine during the summer it fills up.
ScoutWhat a cute hidden gem! Hosts were so attentive and helpful-the grounds were so green and view of the woods and pond was so relaxing- bathrooms were clean with hot water and flush toilets and the horse stalls were conveinent from our site- we brought our own stall bedding and buckets but they provided a tack room, pitch fork , whellbarrow and shovel to help us clean up after our horses- enjoyed their private trails that went around the big lake- town was only 8 min away to get a few things at the store- Happy Camper
LegendHad the whole place to ourselves on a Thursday night, for the most part. We had a local with his hounds running around with a flashlight looking up trees for about an hour around 9PM. I'm guessing he was raccoon hunting...? Besides that interruption, the spot was peaceful and full of chirping birds and frogs. Would definitely stay again.
GuideArrived after dark. Found a level spot by the river, ground was frozen or it would have been muddy. No one around on this 5 degrees F night. Access road is steep but not rough.
ScoutIf you’re floating at Jeff’s, you do not want to camp anywhere else! Less than two minutes down the road from Jeff’s Canoe Rental and the beautiful K Bridge Black River public access. This place has an in ground pool that’s lit up until 10pm (or later if the kids aren’t being too loud), a large lake with swings and fire pits around it, a bigger playground, and a REALLY wonderful little store with anything you’d need plus more! Every spot is very level. It’s also cheaper than most other private places who charge the “per person, per night” bullcrap on top of the site rental. We always look forward to our time here!
