One of my favorite spots on Earth is the Current River, which is a part of the National Ozark…read moreScenic Riverway. If you enjoy nature, water, and outdoor fun then this is a must visit spot! There are several great places to visit as a part of this area, but my favorites by far are the Current River and Big Spring on the Current River, and the campground of the same name. I have a wonderful group of friends that introduced me to floating on the Current when I was in college, and ever since this river has held a special place in my heart. We usually camp at Big Spring Campground. There are both electric, non-electric, and RV hookup's. There are real bathrooms, as well as hot showers within walking distance of camp (not porta potties, but it is a campground - so say hello to your local, resident spiders and their webs). We like this camp, because it's right on the river, family friendly, and close to town but far enough out to enjoy nature. While camping a must do experience for all is a walk to Big Spring. It's a natural cold spring, whose source pumps out enough fresh water to fill Busch Stadium in 33 hours! I like to walk there in the early morning or twilight to see the mist roll in. http://www.nps.gov/ozar/planyourvisit/big-spring.htm The nearby town of Van Buren offers: - a nice Lodge for those who want a nice dinner and/or whose idea of camping is air conditioning, nice beds, and tv - the local ice cream spot called The Jolly Cone - the local cafe, The Floatstream Restaurant, for your typical small diner food and a pretty okay breakfast - various small shops to stock up on essentials: beer, sunblock, souvenir tshirts, snacks, replaceable float shoes and swimsuits, intertubes, gas, fishing bait, etc. - and a whole lot of other small town amenities The water is spring fed. So it's super cold and clear - perfect for a hot summer's day! The Current has a pretty decent current, with nice deep water and wading shallows dotted with periodic gravel bars. It's great for intertubing and canoe trips. Various campgrounds and businesses offer rentals and trips with pick up and drop off options (2, 4, 6 hour floats, or even multiple day trips). Check out the area and find YOUR favorite spots and recommendations. It will probably become one of your favorite places on Earth too!

After we checked in, we were told a different lot, which was not big enough for a tent and camper. The lady behind the counter was very nice and tried to be accommodating. The accommodations were per the owner Caleb, we could either use a lot that had only electricity or rent two different lots that was tent lots and had electric and water and that we would have to pay extra for another lot. Why do we have to pay more for a lot when we had already booked a lot big enough. Caleb Is very arrogant and should not be dealing with the public. Caleb suggested the best thing was to just give us a refund which I agreed... But since that day till 8/8 I have yet to get my refund of $250 back. He has ignored my emails and texts and will not respond. Guess he needs the money seeing how he treats people. Good luck staying here.

Wrong because they had some serious rain before I came down and the spillway which never spilled in like 70 years spilled big time and took out the valley and everything was flooded with roads closed etc. the whole area all over every where we drove and I mean 25 miles had flooding everywhere. The usual clear water was dirty brown so I don't know you begin to catch fish. The grounds and ramps were under water so I don't know why you would want to launch a boat since you don't know what your motor will get snagged on. Overall this was a nice place so I'm adding them to Yelp so everyone can see how beautiful the place is and a web link to check out. This is a really nice place when it's not all messed up and would make a beautiful camp/Rv spot, my timing was just bad.
