How it was placed
Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Lower Current district backcountry campground. FEE: NPS backcountry-campgrounds page -- "Starting April 15, 2025, backcountry sites will require a fee year-round." Standard site (up to 6 people) $10/night; cluster site (7-20) $25/night; group site (15-45) $65/night. "All backcountry sites are non-electric." RESERVATION: "Reservations are required for all backcountry campsites and must be made through Recreation.gov." STAY LIMIT: "Camping stays are limited to 14 days in a 30-day period in the same campground." (nps.gov/ozar/learn/management/camping-regulations.htm) FIRE: campfires must be in the metal fire ring provided; "During periods of elevated fire danger, open fires may be restricted or prohibited." Fires are prohibited in caves, within 50 ft of cave mouths, and within 50 ft of designated river accesses/landings except during gigging season. ACCESS: recreation.gov directions -- "roughly 30 minutes south of Van Buren, MO... turn right onto County Road F-227. Stay on this road for about 2.5 miles, then turn right into Grubb Hollow Campground. This route requires driving on gravel roads for about 2.5 miles." NEAREST TOWN: Van Buren, MO. COORDINATE: mean of the per-campsite coordinates recreation.gov publishes for this campground (www.recreation.gov/api/camps/campgrounds/10344920/campsites, read 2026-08-17) (5 sites). No same-named NPS pin exists, so this coordinate rests on recreation.gov alone. SOURCE: https://www.nps.gov/ozar/planyourvisit/backcountry-campgrounds.htm | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low. Fee value is the agency's own, not field-checked. Not field-verified -- confirm access, road conditions and fire rules before you go.
