Big Springs camp ground in the Ozarks National Scenic River is pretty big with 145 or so sites, but
only about 40 of these sites have electrical hookup and water. Showers are also
available but they are about a 1/4 mile from the campsite with no path to the
site, so you must drive to and from your camp site if you want to take a
shower.
If you are looking
to get out of the sun in July or August at this camp site you need to go
someplace else. There are a few trees but they are not very big and provide
little to no respite from the sun.
About a mile from
the camp site there is a river outfitter who will pick you up from your camp
site, rent you a canoe, raft or tube to float the river. We did check the price to tube and for a
large tube it cost $30 and this includes pickup and drop off at the river and
camp site. The tube ride is about 5 hours long. Not a bad price for a half
day's fun in the water.
Cost for site cost $20 or $10 if you have a National Parks
Access card. All things considered we would camp there again as the price is
great.
