Beautiful campground! Our site was near the water. We didn’t mind but there is a lot of traffic in that area due to kayaks being dropped off early. Again, it didn’t bother us but just be aware. We had a great time, site was easy to get to, all had fire rings and were a short walk to bathrooms with hot showers. Will definitely return!

Our initial impression was this is a beautiful campground along the Jacks Fork River. Restrooms and shower house was nice and clean.
The problem is, someone in management doesn't care about their customers/patrons. 1 week before our stay (May 29 - June 4th), we received an email asking us to not check in until 3:00 due to a paving project, and "the sites are not paved but are currently packed down with gravel and road building marerials". This is the 600 loop, the only loop with water and electric.
When we checked in on the 29th - there was no progress made to actually pave the sites or loop. With no cell service at all at the campground, someone decided to communicate with the campers via email on the 29th at 6:15 PM, informing us that the loop was being closed on the 31st - June 4th. Rangers, with a sign posting the closure and at the entrance of the loop the afternoon of the 30th notifying the campers it was being closed for paving.
We were refunded for the cancelled days of our reservation, but no other help was given to provide us with alternate comparable accommodations for camping in the area. We are not from the area, not familiar with other potential campgrounds, and this was in the middle of a month long trip.
This was a man made issue and poor planning by management - attempting a paving project during the wettest month in MO, with contingency not built in for weather.
Just canceling people's plans with no regard to the impact on them is unacceptable! 24 hours notice is unacceptable for something like this which was not a natural issue like flooding! We lost "vacation time" to find an alternative location to camp, pack, move and reset up! And the expense as all other locations we considered cost quite a bit more! We are highly disappointed with the National Parks Service handling of this!

Alley Spring is a beautiful campground with clean sites and showers. Park Rangers came thru frequently and answered all our questions. We stayed in Loop 100.

We arrived at this absolutely beautiful campground as the sun was going down, got our tent all set up and were enjoying a restful night when we decided to walk to the bathroom at 2:00am. That was incidentally the only place we could get even the occasional one bar of service on our cell phones. We checked our phones (out of habit) while in there and saw a Flood Watch Alert for that area. After going back to our tent with the rain beginning to fall, we thought about that horrible incident in Texas last year with all those kids dying at that camp. We decided to drive to higher ground as we were totally unfamiliar with the area. We slept in our car seats till about 5:30am, then drove back to the campground, which is right next to the river. We broke camp and left but glad we did leave during the night even though the campground was okay. There had been quite a wicked storm directly west of there which did enormous damage (mostly wind, lots of flooding) across several states. Always better to be safe than sorry...or worse.

I cant believe it took me 45 years to find this place. I can't describe how beautiful it is. Go. Turn off your phone. Watch the fireflies. Hang out with fish.

Loop 600 was clean and well maintained. Pads were freshly asphalted this spring. Staff were helpful and friendly.
