Really enjoyed this gem of a park up in the Ozarks.

As with many national parks, there are no sites with water hook ups. Its odd that a place built around a water feature and a river has no access to water for campers. So fill your tanks and adjust accordingly. And there was only one fairly small loop of about 20 spaces that had electricity. Mind knew there were six camping areas, but only one with electrical hook up. So if thats important, no before you go. The listing for this site showed it to be shady. It wasnt. It said it was a waterfront site. It wasnt. It said it was a concrete site which was half right. Half was concrete and half was dirt that had washed in making it less than level. The general consensus after four years of travel is that state parks are run far better than national. The amenities are better. There needs to be more information about where you can swim at Big spring. And this is no fault of the park, but the gnats and flies around anytime you were near the water were almost unbearable. Might have been the time of year, but it made being near the water less than enjoyable.

We had a great camping experience (camper). All the facilities buildings were in excellent shape and very clean. The camper sites are a bit on the smaller side and close together. It gets very busy during the evening but during the day when everyone is out on the river the campground is peaceful.

We have been coming here to camp yearly for 34 years. Was our favorite location, campgrounds need work, add electrical and water to some of the sites. This year no hot showers. Not many activities, used to be a lot! River never disappoints .

Beyond beautiful well worth the drive. Sites seem a little weird like they are short but wide? So you have to park kinda sideways but it was a great time
