Alley Spring Campground

Good one night stay. Not bad. See the Alley spring Mill well worth it.

Limited electric hookup, booked way in advance. Lots of decent non electric sites. Showers are pretty new and nice, restrooms plain but clean. But what makes it nice is it's right on the water, and you can set up a lawn chair out on a sandbar, catch some rays, watch kayakers, rafters and conoers coming down river. The water is great, nice swimming holes, and a short distance to alley spring where there are some short trails and of course a spring kicking out 81 million gallons of water a day

This was kind of an odd place, maybe because we were off season. The loop with electricity was full, with the rest of the camp ground empty (9 loops total). Which was nice, but not at all reflective of what the place is probably like in season, especially weekends. It was great being able to put on Jack’s Creek River here. Showers were nice, though quite a distance from the camp sites. Gnats were awful, for what that’s worth. Also, again because it was off-season, the absence of any information (no hosts present) was somewhat problematic, especially in the absence of cell service. And, going into town for info led us to interact with more un-masked people than we’ve encountered since the beginning of the pandemic. We did have BEAUTIFUL day on the river.

Alley Springs campground is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways by Mark Twain National Park. We went in early May and we were the only people in our campsite loop. Nice sites, close and clean bathrooms. Theres a nice lake to swim in too with some super clear water. Would stay again!
