Quiet secluded campground. We like to camp here when we float from round spring to two rivers. $10 gets you a picnic table and firering. No water or electricity. Outhouse is clean. Don't camp here during a flood.

A very beautiful and secluded basic campground. We were originally told by locals that the price is $5 a night, but it was posted as $10 a night when we arrived. We also got to see the wild horses come up out of the water at site 7 and go through the campground to feed at the entrance before running across the street toward Echo Bluff; which was pretty spectacular.

I like things rustic. Pack it in, pack it out. No need for fancy families. Sute, the picnic table and firepit were nice e luxuries, but not as pleasant as a dip in the river in the morning. Dark, quiet night and I'm a happy houmd!

Nice campground at the meeting of the Current River and Sinking Creek. There are about 19 sites and a great put in spot for kayaking/canoeing.
