We hope to see you, soon.
It would be helpful to mention that most of the Current between Montauk and the Ripley County line, 134 miles of it, are administered by the National Park Service as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, not by the Conservation Department. Phone number 573-323-4236. The official website: http://www.nps.gov/ozar lists all canoe rentals on the river with phone numbers and links to their websites, along with real time river levels, weather, campgrounds, etc.
There are several large full service campgrounds that were not mentioned, such as Pulltite, Round Spring, Two Rivers, Big Spring and many smaller ones with fewer services, some of them free. These are operated by the National Park Service.
Thanks Bill! I will add the info and phone number. We will also be adding a directory soon, so we can get all campgrounds and outfitters listed on the site.
