Campground · National Park Service Fees: Standard Site: $10.00 Reservations: Backcountry campsites can be reserved via recreation.gov Nestled on the park's southern boundary, Gooseneck Campground offers well-maintained sites right along the lower Current River. A small inlet provides a great space to see wildlife, while gravel bars support swimming, floating, and more. This campground features a large, flat camping area, making it a popular destination for RVs and campers. Sites closest to the river have unobstructed views of the waterway. Other sites enjoy dappled shade from oaks, hickories, walnuts, and sycamores. Getting there: Gooseneck Campground is located roughly half an hour south of Van Buren, MO.
