Ozarks camping at its best
This is a great campground if you want to spend the day next to the river or use it as a launch, mid-float overnight, or an end point of a day on the Current River. There is a private rafting/canoeing outfitter shop on site, but it wasn’t open when we were there (we came for the sole purpose of camping, and our favorite Current River outfitter is 7 miles upstream anyway).There was some really bad flooding a few years ago that caused some significant damage in the area that closed campground as well as some others along the river, but the campground seems to have come out ok (or they really did a good job cleaning up!). Sites are not that private, but nice and level and grassy with the usual fire ring and picnic table. SOme sites had trees for hammocks and some, not so much. We came on Easter weekend and since it was a bit cool and rain was expected, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We did have a nice visit with a couple from Vermont on their way back from seeing the Sandhill Crane migration in Nebraska. Our site was on the river side of the loop, a short walk to the canoe landing as well as the bathhouse. The bathhouse was clean enough, with showers that were functional. We have used the bathrooms while waiting for our outfitter to pick us up after a day of floating, and even on really busy weekends with sell out crowds in the campground the bathhouse seemed to be clean enough.
