Two Rivers Gravel Bar Camping

[TroutRinger]

Can you camp on the gravel bar there if you wanted to avoid the people at the regular campground?

There also appears to be a boat ramp and parking lot a couple hundred yards from where the outfitters pull you out. Is that a public access ramp?

Thanks

[KCRIVERRAT]

Yes and yes to both questions.

Yup. You'll have a veritable highway of floaters going by your campsite especially in the afternoon so I wouldn't expect much more solitude, but there's nothing to stop you. Generally, if it's a gravel bar on a decent sized river you can assume you'll be okay to camp there. Even moreso on a national river.

Friends of mine were harassed just down stream of Sinking creek in the middle of the night by ranger Good and ranger Bad. You will probably be ok there, @ 2 rivers, but might get a ticket if they are having a bad day/ night.. This is from the superintendents compendium...

We camped there last year overnight with no problems other than a couple people coming down to the river at 4am drunk and making some noise. We just had to make sure they didn't partake in any of our stuff.

Do you just want to drive in, walk down, and camp, or are you going to have a canoe or other watercraft? If you want to get somewhat away from people, there's a smallish but okay gravel bar across and slightly downstream from the boat ramp, a big one a bit farther downstream, or a couple on either side of the Jacks Fork above the confluence.

Huh. That's an awfully odd rule. Any clue what the purpose is?

They probably want you to pay to use the campground.

I would pay to not stay in a campground anywhere the Current River.

Nice campable river bank bluff across the river and 1/4 mile downstream from Blue Spring. Driving access. On the Ozark Trail.

Compared to the other "managed" Current River campgrounds, I think Two Rivers is far superior to Cedar Grove, Akers-Jasons, Pulltite, Round Springs, or Big Springs in terms of likelihood of quiet. Always best to avoid the weekends.
