Ozark NSR- Alley Springs-17 July 2013

 We like the campground at Alley Springs but the only one draw back was there was NO shade in the electrical sites. Plenty of shade if you are tent camping, but all of the electrical sites are pretty much out in the open.

  The bathrooms and showers are not too far away from the camp but with the government laying off many workers the are a bit dirty, but still usable if you do not mind the trash. It seems the bathrooms and showers are getting cleaned once a week so it gets kind of dirty after awhile.

 But still the price is great $20 a night or $10 if you have an access card, which we do have. Near by is the Alley Springs Mill where you can enjoy a nice hike around the springs.  If you enjoy water sports near the entrance to the campsite is a local vendor who will pick you up at your camp, rent you the equipment, take you to a drop off point on the river, pick you up at the end of your trip and bring you back to camp.  I recall that the cost for a 5 hour trip down the river on a tube was $15 so that is not to bad for a day of fun.
