What Guests Are Saying

Alley Spring Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful surroundings, including proximity to the Jacks Fork River and natural beauty. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, spacious campsites, and opportunities for water activities, while expressing a desire to return. However, some noted the lack of cell service and limited electrical hookups as areas for improvement, particularly regarding reservations and access to amenities.

Amazing campground. Very clean and well kept. Zero cell service, which in my mind is a plus. The town of Eminence has service and is only 5 min away. If you go to town eat at Dairy Shack! Site was close to perfectly level. The river added a lot of opportunity for water activities.
We will absolutely camp here again.

Beautiful place, we had a great time. We were lucky enough to see two bald eagles hanging out by the river, it was incredible. I wish I had my camera! We enjoyed our picnic at Alley Spring, it's beautiful place. The overlook trail that loops above the spring was also really great, there were so many wildflowers in bloom.

Amazing experience! I have been going there since I was a kid and now I have the opportunity to take my family and the Park Rangers have done an amazing job at preserving the camp sights and the whole park! Great great job and keep up the great work!

We were fortunate to be at Alley Springs mill and campground in mid-April. There was only one other camper in the entire campground and only a handful of people around the mill. The trails were dry and easily hikeble with many wildflowers blooming. The water was flowing and the entire scene was of spring emerging from winter. The only thing we missed was seeing inside the mill. It wasn’t open yet. Still, it was a delightful experience and a great way to begin our exploration of waterfalls in SE Missouri. The others we saw, in order, were Falling Spring Mill and Falls, Rocky Falls, Mina Sauk Falls, Johnson Shut-ins Falls and Hickory Canyon Falls. Each different and all well worth it, especially after recent rains.

It was very relaxing. We were the only tent campers, the rest were campers and rvs. It has changed since our trips in previous years. You have to reserve online, and cell service is spotty, thus resulting having to go a mile or so towards Eminence to reserve and pay. Other than that so very relaxing and enjoyable.
