OUR CAMPGROUND & FACILITIES

It's a special place for many people. To keep it so, we request that you be litter conscious. Leave nothing behind but your footprints. Take only pictures. Kill only time. Do unto your fellow campers as you would have them do unto you!

  • Quiet time from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am.
  • No speakers or loud radios!
  • All radios off by 11:00 pm.
  • No fireworks without permission!
  • Pets are allowed, but must be on leash.
  • No Firearms Permitted!
  • New Alcohol Policy – This new policy is being initiated because of nationwide concerns of our insurance carriers, and due to that, may become more stringent in future years. Many float companies are choosing to ban alcohol. We choose NOT to do that! We expect you to be sensible and reasonable with your consumption of alcohol on the river and in the campground. But, if you can’t have a good time without getting obnoxious, rowdy and loud, and observing our quiet time from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am, don’t come here!!! Grossly drunken and obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated. Floating is a risk sport. You need use of your faculties for safety’s sake. ON THE FLOAT TRIP, WE WILL ONLY ALLOW THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL IN CONTAINERS WHICH WILL FIT IN ONE (28" x 15" x 16" H) OR SMALLER COOLER, PER CANOE.
  • Glass containers are now illegal.
  • All items must be secured in boat.

Our Main Campground is along the river or we offer another secluded site on the hill for groups who wish to be off by themselves. [top]

We have four motel units:
1 bedroom, bath & shower and air conditioning. Please bring your own sheets, blankets and towels. See Rates below.

We offer the following, even if you bring your own canoe:

  • Hot showers.
  • Flush toilets.
  • Fire rings.
  • Picnic tables.
  • Volleyball.
  • Horseshoes.
  • Small store offering ice, firewood, T-shirts, hats, coolie cups, lighters, mantles, etc. for sale.
  • Some screen houses and tents for rent.
  • 6 miles to groceries and gas stations.
