"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."
"We visit this campground multiple times a year and it's always a positive experience. My parents have ano rv and they allow us to camp in a tent next to them!"
"This is a primitive camping area and there are a lot of partying people in and around this area plus frequent motorboat traffic. No amenities, many generators. Drive in, pick a spot and set up camp."
"If you’re traveling through southern Missouri and looking for a park to stay in, this is a great choice! Right off the interstate and easy to get in to."
"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."
$5 / night
"Long beautiful drive in, narrow road would not reccomend for motorhome over 20' or any large camper as there is no backing up or turn arounds. "
"Another great trout park on Missouri"
"Montauk State Park is one of the Missouri Conservations four trout parks, and is located at the headwaters of the beautiful Current River."

"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's a sign to keep car tires on pavement, but I wasn't able to and parked the Jeep on the grass next to the trailer."
"We were in a close to level spot with newer looking hook ups."
"This was right on the highway, but no road noise. Check in was super easy, full hook ups and easy in and out. Looks like they changed the name to Silver Springs RV park. Enjoyed the pool."
$20 - $140 / night
"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."
"There is a very nice trail with the trailhead near the group sites. It goes through different terrains, including along the river bank."
"The campsites are a little close together but no one was at the one next to us so it did not feel so bad. Staff was very nice and friendly."
"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."
ScoutVery disappointed. Stopped here for the night on the way to Branson because I work from home and needed an evening to catch up on work. They advertise WiFi but I could not get on it for more than a minute at a time. Gave up and pulled out for Branson. Got no work done.
Camper pad was a little gravel driveway basically between 2 gravel roads. Bathrooms were ok.
ScoutBathrooms are scary and the sites could be improved. Don’t forget the train!
GuideThe hubs and I went to North Fork campgrounds April 25-28th and we were the only campers there. People were on the river for day-use, picnic, fishing, swimming etc. but we were the only overnight guests. The sites are HUGE and spacious but not private. No undressing if you have a neighbor. There are some trails from the sites to the river but nature has mostly taken them over and it is not a safe trek. It's a short walk on the driveway to the vault toilets and day use area to get in the river or walk along the pebbled banks. Use caution while exploring the banks because what I'm assuming was a parking lot or RV sites had been recently washed away. There are large sections of concrete/asphalt slabs, picnic tables, stationary grills, and parking wheel blocks scattered and partially buried all along the bank. The water was nice and the Catahoula enjoyed herself. Nighttime was magical. It was absolutely silent besides the sounds of nature and the river. Our favorite part was the THOUSANDS of fireflies. They were like a blanket or waves of twinkles through the whole loop. We let the fire die down just so we could watch the show. Absolutely amazing.
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.
GuideWonderful 'Ma & Pa' hosts! Very sweet people. This camp is on a hillside that is terraced at each site. Nice & quiet for the most part. There are several permanent residences here, some working on vehicles & such in the late afternoon & evening, sometimes a bit loud and/or noisy. After dark, everything was quiet.
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
