I wanted to be sure to come back and write a review as I couldn't find many newer reviews prior to…read moregoing. I'll start out by saying that the owners were great!!! We originally booked a camp side with electric and water for 2 days and would float on our last full day. We decided to extend our campsite and change our float to the next day AND swap to kayaks Instead of tubes. When we went to the office to make the changes and they were more than happy to help us as if it were no big deal! I also watched the owner down by the river everyday we were there just greeting people and chatting and helping in any way possible. I'm pretty sure I saw him pulling someone's car that had broke down. Just a testament to how helpful they are. The Campsite- my wife and I got site L for 3 days. The owner had just finished mowing the grass as we pulled up and it was very clean and level. I had read one old review that said the electric pole was a hundred feet away or something so I showed up with 5 extension cords. lol to my surprise, the electric pole was right at the side and 10 feet away from our tent! But I was ready. The water spigot was also right behind that so it was all very close. There was a nice fire ring and a camp style grill and the picnic table was in great shape. No one was in the site to our right but there were some folks in the site to our left but there was just enough space that it was no bother. The bathrooms were just a short walk up the hill. There was one men's and one women's restroom that stayed clean the whole time we were there and there were two showers, each in its own individual room. All 4 doors had pin pad knobs so they stayed locked and you needed a code to get in, they didn't give us any issues. The showers were push knobs so you have to hold them to keep water flowing but the temps were good. A little warm for my tastes but my wife loved it. The River- we decided on the kayaks instead of the tubes as we have tubes the river a few times and wanted to check out a little more. Since we were camping at the shuttle site, we just had to jump on a van once we were ready and they took us on a ten minute ride to the river. The driver was very knowledgeable and gave us some good tips. We ultimately floated for about 4 hrs to get back. The river was around 5.3 river level gauge so we did have a few spots where I had to get out but my wife slid right over. Guess I should lose a few pounds hahaha. It's definitely an easy paddle and kid friendly. There were a few spots with some faster moving water but nothing to be alarmed about. All in all it was a great experience. I will say, if you are looking for a quiet, in the woods campsite, this isn't it. It is close to the road so you hear every truck going down the road and those boys in Central Arkansas love their glasspack mufflers! lol but if you are looking for somewhere to camp after floating the river, this place is perfect! You don't have to drive to a shuttle area and then when you get done, you are back at camp. Caddy River Camping & Canoe, you guys are doing a great job!!

We brought our own tubes but paid for the shuttle and parking. We blew up the tubes there. No charge. Cost $29 for two people. Paid with debit card and small fee for that.

Don't forget your ice chest so you can stop along the way for a picnic or a snack. Oh, and most importantly, bring YOUR OWN rope to tie everyone and the ice chest, together. Lesson learned. 5 stars. ***Great restaurants nearby. ***Wal-Mart has waterproof phone cases. Worked perfectly!!!

Our issue was at the very beginning and the older lady that has to be the manager/owner. I came over the hill faster than I should have, noted, my mIstake, absolutely noted, my passengers let me know before she even arrived. But once she did arrive ay my door and the power trip began. I immediately expressed knowledge that I knew what I did and apologized. But she continued to stand there and reprimand me like a child for four more go through what had happened. I had to turn away from her to stop. It was a crazy event. I'm a grown women w adult children I just needed a firm reminder and a walk away would have worked much better. Then the mad eye contact she was giving me later in the store was crazy too. Maybe a bad day for her which absolutely happens. But perhaps a slow Sign or a speed limit sign or simply better signage out front might be helpful. I was bringing a party of 16 in and we all had trouble locating the place on maps. Perhaps she should start there to get her guest to the location successful.

From the moment you turn onto state park road, you can feel the calming and rejuvenating atmosphere. The views of the lake and surrounding areas were breathtaking, as well as all of the wildlife.

I'd like to take the time to shout out the restaurant staff, in particular; Gina, Lauren, Shannon Rick and David. Every time we found ourselves in the restaurant we were welcomed with great energy and open smiles that could be felt and seen through the masks, regardless of time of day.
