Eleven Point River - This river has fewer gravel bars then most float streams in Missouri, so the Forest Service maintains several "float camps". These are designated camp sites accessible only river. Most of the float camps have a privy, fire rings, and picnic tables. My favorite time to float this river is in the spring before the trees show leaves. If you can catch it when the red buds and dogwood trees are blooming at the same time and morel mushrooms can be found, you've hit it just right. Nearest town is Alton, Missouri.
Current River - Managed by the NPS as part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Can be crowded on the weekends during the summer months, but you will likely have it to yourself if you go during the week. Below Round Spring access, jet boats become more prevalent. Gravel bar camping is plentiful. Most outfitters operate out of Eminence, Missouri.
