When I booked the site (314) I expected to have a view of the river. Sadly there was a line of brush preventing that view. As someone with IBS was thankful being next to the bathrooms. The Fire pit on this site is on the wrong side. If you face your tent towards the river it will be behind you. There was no sign indicating the 300 loop. The site sign was missing a number, as a first time visitor I had to check other sites to make sure I was on the right one. Shower nozzles, are more like water guns with no spray pattern. ALso this site is listed as unattended, but there was staff and Rangers everywhere. It was a decent weekend, the only disappointment being the lack of a river view.

Every part of the experience was easy to maneuver. Good amount of room between each group. Creek access points all over so no matter where you're at you have a quick short walk. Even some longer walking paths if you're not interested in the water!

We love Alley Spring Campground. The swimming hole is perfect for families. I recommend seeing the mill, Rocky Falls, and Round Spring

It’s a beautiful place as long as it doesn’t rain. The pads filled with water and a lot of mud and made it miserable! Most every site did this. Not a good time always cleaning up mud! And also it seems like the rules are going to the wayside with people parking on the grass and dogs running loose. Also when I booked my reservation they wanted to know what kind of equipment you had, you could have 1 camper and two tents. But at one site there came in two pop up campers and use one site and had 3 trucks. I seen the ranger go over there but I guess it was ok if you know them I believe it is special treatment because it clearly states 1camper and 2 tents per site. Just seems like the care of the campground is going down. I used to love down there.

River access is good, rock/sand bar across the road/bridge is much larger and less crowded. The Rangers were all friendly, offered good insight to the general area and history. Don’t forget to go check out the spring and mill house!

Beware camping in 600 loop after rain or during rain. The asphalt to park your trailers on is way lower than the surrounding grass area so it gets extremely wet with standing water and mud. Every site needs to be re-leveled.
