I've grown up here really, and it's just gotten better over time. The day use areas are perfect for a picnic, or an entire family get together, and I've done both plenty of times! The swimming hole by the dam is beautiful, though as a heads up, you'll probably see a water snake. The shut-ins are a great place to hop around and explore. Whoever maintains the bathrooms do a fantastic job!
This is a great campground with a fun shut ins to play in. My only complaint is our site was full of trash from previous occupants. It is disappointing both that campers make such a mess and that the park doesn't even clean it up. Otherwise there are a few sites right on the creek, most have plenty of room and good places to set up your tent. Bring water as they have none.
Beautiful place, love the crystal clear water. Not too crowded during the week. Excellent camping options for only $10!
Very well kept and serene. Little side note...part of the movie Tammy with Melissa McCarthy was filmed here.
Very small but pretty USFS fee site campground and day use area along the creek. Theres parking for the Ozark Trailhead that is actually across the street from the park entrance.
