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.

It is a lovely place however the last few years the conservation agents have been harassing people, pulling them over and searching to the point its hard to drive around the campground. For these reasons I will be recommending another campground.

Campsite was beautiful, right on the river, clean, and the bathrooms were clean. The only thing is, some of the people camping next to us didn’t follow the rules and were up partying until 1:30 AM. Other than that it was perfect.

Alley Springs was very clean and mowed. There was no camp host for the entire time we were there. On Friday we did have a National Park Ranger show up and stop some one in the park. I don't know why but there seems to be better things that they could be doing rather than harassing people in the park. The new reservation process of only allowing online reservations does not make much sense when there is no wifi at the park. Safety would make a good reason to put up a tower at the park so floods could be reported.
