A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Alley Spring Campground sits in the rolling oak-and-shortleaf-pine hills where two of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways' spring-fed rivers meet, offering immediate access to clear water, springs, caves and forested trails. The campground is open year-round and is unstaffed; for questions call the park office at (573) 323-4236.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (15,478 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
