In search of a gravel bar.....

[Mark]

I'm in search of a gravel bar next week where I can camp out of my vehicle (Sr with a bad back) with some wadeable small mouth/pan fish water . Not asking for your honey hole. Just somewhere me and a buddy can pitch a tent and hang out a couple days sitting on a riverbank and occasionally get a line wet, and not get hassled. I haven't been on many Ozark rivers and willing to check out some place new. Appreciate any guidance

If the gravel bar has vehicle access or a boat ramp chances are you will have company.   And possibly not good company.   I use or go by a lot of public ramps when river fishing and even during the week there is somebody there.   Many times I’ve left without putting my boat in and leaving my vehicle unattended.  
The past weekend it happened.   When the area is occupied and their beer cans are scattered everywhere at 5:30 am and they are still partying.  I’m out!!!!
