The river

This was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with family. Accessible and friendly

Sydney B.

This is my husband and I's second trip to the resort. This year we opted for the Pod lodging and the 8 mile float. The pods were adorable and located right next to the water, we loved drinking our morning coffee on our tiny porch. The weather was perfect for our 8 mile float which was relaxing and so much fun as always. Post float we opted for steak dinners right outside of the convenience store. The steaks were perfectly cooked and tender enough to cut with plastic silverware. Overall we absolutely love coming here for weekends away and highly recommend.

Amazing property that's very well maintained and so many fun things to do, set in a place of gorgeous natural beauty. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. But what struck me the most was how much management cares about customers. Extraordinary service at this place! Definitely coming back!!!

Calm and peaceful

Has a great time floating the Elk River this weekend with a handful of my college buddies. The water was flowing nicely and the crowds were too bad. We did the 5mi float in kayaks and had a blast. Other than a few sunburns we all left in one piece and with our prides intact. Great fun and I'd highly recommend if you like being on the water at all.

We had such a fun weekend here! And for a pretty decent price too. Obviously, the float itself was wonderful and River Ranch was accommodating to any and all of our needs, but beyond that, their food was surprisingly great. In the morning, they had a breakfast buffet for $8 that has eggs, bacon, sausage and biscuits and gravy. The coffee, not so great, but it's better than nothing. And at night, they make and will even deliver delicious pizza to your campsite. They will also bring you any firewood you might need to your campsite.

Proof

This is the worst experience I have ever had, they made us spend more than 1000 dollars and no refunds they kicked up out on the first day for no reason, they called the cops for no reason and they were being racist and they started to threaten us and when we started to stay calm and talk calmly they called the cops on us and they yelled at us for no reason and they were just so disrespectful and for the bad respect and they didn't give us a warning and they asked for our social security number even for the kids I would not recommend this place I have never have been in a campsite so bad and disrespectful, they made us sign a contract that was fake and me and my family were hate crimed for being Hispanic, I will never EVER come back here, worst experience EVER.

The exterior.  Pretty nice operation.

See all

A dump. Litter everywhere and dated facilities. Too much of a party scene and not for everyone.

Best place on the river. Convenience store on site. Better call ahead as it sells out and you might end up somewhere else....

This is the worst campground I've ever been to. This the place for hard core party ppl- who don't…read moreneed sleep- at all!! Last night was a Friday night. It was as if we went to a rave and decided to spend the night in the middle of it. The website says they have a strict quiet time of 11p. They sure didn't last night! And supposedly our site was in the quiet section! Our neighbors had music blaring! Across the river was blaring a different music. Ppl yelling, dogs barking until 2 a. It was impossible to sleep! And after 2 a when music finally shut off, the trains start blasting their horns and more dog barking. Oh! And this campsite is RIGHT NEXT to a busy road! I don't always need peace and quiet. I like music on floats. This was insane! Never again! Well except for tonight. We have 1 more night in this pit they call camping. lol. And- the seed tics were trying to crowd us out! By the time I set up tent the first night, I pulled off 30 tics. And I had bug spray on. I know the tics may not be management fault, but I would want to know. We had tics in tent, bed, everywhere! Oh and the shower house. Cobwebs everywhere! Not just overnight, more like we are going to do the very minimum to maintain this place so cobwebs for days. Toilets themselves were clean. No A/C. Just a fan in the corner ceiling too high to turn on. The river was very busy- but that just means lots of ppl to hand with and meet. The float was awesome.

Pretty straight forward. They always answered the phone and answered questions. They had a rough…read morestart seems someone was late on the morning shift. But we got there about 9:15 and we're on our way about 9:45. Didn't have the fancy convenience store some launch points do, but honestly I can do without. It was very convenient the bus was right next to parking so we didn't have to haul our stuff from a parking lot to a bus stop like others ones we've gone on. They were all very friendly and helpful. The Elk River itself is a great run for families and easy to navigate. Definitely recommend! Do wish there was a slightly shorter run for families like ours. But that's ok, we'll be back!
