Are there any good camping places to take kids 10-14 in Missouri?

Question

We want to take our kids who have never camped somewhere family oriented. My husband and I both grew up tent camping.

Answer 1

We live in the Missouri Ozarks and have 5 children ages 9, 11, 12, and two 14 year olds. Our favorite place to take our family is Alley Springs campground on the Jacks Fork river.  It is about 6 miles west of Eminence.  It offers plenty of sites, some with electric, hot showers, flat level sites with paved roads for bike riding, and a good swimming hole.  About 1/2 mile away is the Alley Springs Mill and spring with two hiking trails, one that goes around the spring area, and then a more difficult one that goes up to a lookout that is above the spring.  It is a beautiful place.   Hope this helps!
