It is still the way I remember it used to be!

The campground was clean, and Alley Spring and Mill were beautiful!

We love Alley Spring. It is our go-to campground within 200 miles of home. There is only one campsite with water and electricity that accommodates our rig, and then we have to pull in backwards with the hookups on the wrong side. Otherwise, our doorway would be stepping into the street. It would be nice if the Corp would upgrade another camp loop with utilities.

Every one had a great time .it's a cleaning dry place to get together.

This is a beautiful campground. Bathrooms are very clean and the grounds are well maintained. The camp Host was helpful in getting us registered.

Alley Springs is our favorite place to visit.

Campsites were nice. Bathroom, and shower facilities were clean
@DarrellG505812 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #314
When I booked the site (314) I expected to have a view of the river. Sadly there was a line of brush preventing that view. As someone with IBS was thankful being next to the bathrooms. The Fire pit on this site is on the wrong side. If you face your tent towards the river it will be behind you. There was no sign indicating the 300 loop. The site sign was missing a number, as a first time visitor I had to check other sites to make sure I was on the right one. Shower nozzles, are more like water guns with no spray pattern. ALso this site is listed as unattended, but there was staff and Rangers everywhere. It was a decent weekend, the only disappointment being the lack of a river view.

Every part of the experience was easy to maneuver. Good amount of room between each group. Creek access points all over so no matter where you're at you have a quick short walk. Even some longer walking paths if you're not interested in the water!
@BriannaL3A92DF · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #717
Very lovely site despite the heat! Will definitely be coming back again!
@LisaB5569950 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #601
We camp every year at Alley Springs. One of our favorites.
@TimothyTFEA98F · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #505
Book camp site early.
@Sethw247278273 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #314
River access is good, rock/sand bar across the road/bridge is much larger and less crowded. The Rangers were all friendly, offered good insight to the general area and history. Dont forget to go check out the spring and mill house!
@JeffS4172407 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #819
Love the Mill and the Alley swim hole

Truly the worst camping check in experience ever. We love Alley Springs and the Jacks Fork River. I and my family has been going there for over 50 Years. We go there, pick a site and pay for it. But this year everything changed for the worst. Be aware you have to register online for a site before setting up now! Not only that there is no way to tell if a site is reserved without getting on the recreation.gov website. That would not be bad but there is NO cell service there let alone any access to any wireless data. You have to borrow internet off site from the kind Harveys store near by or drive a mile out of the park to access the internet to see which sites are available, then drive your camper back in to see which one you like then drive back out of the park to reserve it then drive back in to set up. What a bad experience!!!!!If you have to reserve online they need to either get someone to put a cell tower up to give the park Cellular Data service or at least make wifi available at the check in station. Making reservations ahead of time is no good. You cant know every site, or who will be next to you from home. We dont want to camp back to back to other campers or next to the weeds or in a flooded muddy site. You cant see that from home. They broke a perfect system. Also tired of the park not protecting the camp ground from the river. They want it to be natural but have lost most of the park by not managing the river around the park. No one would mind them puttying large rock barriers around the park but instead half the sites have been destroyed along with the roads so loops 1, 2, and 3 cant even be driven around anymore. Such a shame. Was once a beautiful camp ground.

We love Alley Spring Campground. The swimming hole is perfect for families. I recommend seeing the mill, Rocky Falls, and Round Spring
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #615
Beware camping in 600 loop after rain or during rain. The asphalt to park your trailers on is way lower than the surrounding grass area so it gets extremely wet with standing water and mud. Every site needs to be re-leveled.
@StevenRC46582E · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #505
Jacks Fork river was closed due to flooding. Camp ranger came out to provide information.
@CharloteB18CA3 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #613
Its a beautiful place as long as it doesnt rain. The pads filled with water and a lot of mud and made it miserable! Most every site did this. Not a good time always cleaning up mud! And also it seems like the rules are going to the wayside with people parking on the grass and dogs running loose. Also when I booked my reservation they wanted to know what kind of equipment you had, you could have 1 camper and two tents. But at one site there came in two pop up campers and use one site and had 3 trucks. I seen the ranger go over there but I guess it was ok if you know them I believe it is special treatment because it clearly states 1camper and 2 tents per site. Just seems like the care of the campground is going down. I used to love down there.
@KatherynB0653A · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #829
We loved visiting here. The park is clean and quiet, the people are friendly, and we had the best time. We especially loved that the park was so dark at night you could see every star and lightening bug. Thank you for the memories.
@CareyB3852938 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #216
Clean, great river access, beautiful scenery, we will be back

When we got there we discovered there was NO WI-FI to reserve space so we had to get Ranger she told us to go to Canoe rental store use their's. We went there an could not do it for some reason even though space WAS available it was blocked out! Went back to park got Ranger she found spot with WI-FI she even tried couldn't reserve space,then finally tried another way was able to but wifi went out. So she let us set up then try later. We did eventually get it done but it was like by 8 or 9 pm. There should be a WI-FI Hotspot in the park so campers can easily do this. Even for a new night would have been a whole new hassle. The next day my husband was coming to pick me up at the ramp after we rafted down the river he got stopped for not having his seat belt on. We understand he wasn't wearing a seat belt,however the park Ranger really gave him a time of it,and had a very nasty attitude about him. Also don't think it's legal to stop people just for not having a seat belt on any more and yes that's exactly what Ranger said he stopped him for. Then when he was picking me up another Ranger sped down an stopped at our vehicle watched us then drove off... Have to say we seen them pulling others over and they were approaching people VERY AGGRESSIVELY! Acting like they were stopping hardened criminals. Sitting at the shower we witnessed them pull over 3 vehicles between my husband an I. And the people didn't seem to be doing anything wrong. Thats alot for what 20 minutes. I get keeping things safe but my goodness. We did find the park clean and in good shape,Thank you. The female Ranger was beyond nice and helpful!!! She deserves notice for it too!! Can't y'all make a box safe enough to bring back the envelopes? And if you have that many Rangers in the park it can be check couple times a week, right? Thank y'all for all you do. Hopefully you can bring box and envelopes back so we don't have all the chaos.

Enjoyable weekend. Campground well patrolled. Facilities in excellent shape considering it was flooded a few days before arrival. Compliments to the staff.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
