Ozark Campground is a wonderful place to overnight on the banks of the Buffalo River. The campground has 31 drive in and tent campsites. The camp sites have no electric hookups, but there are restrooms and water available in May through September. All camp sites are on a first come first serve basis and can not be reserved.
This beautiful forested spot is the perfect place to stop for the night or even enjoy the day. The Buffalo River by Ozark Campground is a great swimming spot. The water here is deep and slow moving, with rippling gray cliffs along the shore. This makes for the perfect spot to enjoy a good swim with beautiful scenery. This swimming hole is lesser known than other swimming holes on Buffalo River. This makes for a very private swimming experience with very few crowds.
This swimming hole is right of of Highway seven, making it easily accessible for anyone looking for a great weekend getaway.
