RE: Exploring the Southern Missouri Ozarks Part 5: Ebb and Flow Spring & Meeting House Cave
I was just telling my baby cakes we should go camping or swimming before summer is over. I prefer the ocean, but if unavailable a lake or deep river will do. Are there any good camping spots in this area? I'm in KC and as far as I'm aware even the closest swimming spot is a hike and often contemplate just making the trip to Texas just be see the ocean again.
We are roughly about 4 hours or so from KC, but The Jacks Fork and Current rivers are two of the clearest, most scenic rivers in the country. There are tons of good swimming and camping areas. However, in our particular area, most of the camping is pretty primitive, meaning no running water, bathrooms, etc. However, further down the river toward Eminence, there are riverside cabins and cottages. It's a beautiful part of the state and I highly recommend a visit! I'm headed to work, but I can get you some links to some campgrounds and/or cabins if you're interested!
