This is a family friendly campground. We love pretty much everything about it. The only reason it…read moredidn't earn a full five stars is that the sites are a touch close to each other and the bathrooms are not the best (but the showers are free, the water was hot and hey - having a bathroom in the woods when camping is pretty great). We tent camped at an electric site right on the river. It was beautiful, our neighbors were quiet and respectful and there were no loud parties or crazy music late at night. Having electricity in our tent was quite nice. The employees were super friendly and I saw a worker kindly ask a visitor to keep their speed down.

Reservations were perfect! Asked for 3 sites on the river, with trees and electricity. Check in was…read moresuper fast, friendly and organized. Sites (30-32) were exactly as described. Each had its own electric outlet. Bathrooms were oddly clean!!! Hot water, great water pressure and did I mention clean. Area looked more up kept than other campgrounds I've been to. Water was beautiful and refreshing. Had a great experience. Floated Jacks Fork and the Current river. Both were really pretty and unique.

A Hufstedler's employee rode with my wife, our 11-year-old son and me in our SUV yesterday to…read moreTurner's Mill on the Eleven Point River, dropped off us and our personal canoe and kayak, then parked our vehicle at our Riverton/Highway 160 bridge takeout 14 miles downstream. The friendly driver offered great advice about sights and river features to watch for, including the infamous rapids at river mile 33.7. That and the quick, courteous service they provided when I first walked into their store was enough to earn Hufstedler's a five-star review. But it was the help and kindness that Mrs. Hufstedler and a group of her family and friends provided at the rapids that I am grateful for. It was our luck that they happened to be enjoying personal time on the river when my son and I chose to ignore the advice we had been given about the rapids so we could ride the waves. The first three were great fun. But the fourth and final one, a two-footer, crested the sides of our canoe and dumped enough water inside that we sank - all but the top two inches of the vessel. I was able to swim alongside it, but my son floated down the river, in a lifejacket but on his own. I'll never forget the look in his eyes - "Dad, what do we do now? - nor the voice of one of the men in Mrs. Hufstedler's group who quickly kayaked over and said, "I've got him. Don't worry." A second gentleman quickly reached me and the submerged canoe, telling me to grab the back handle of his kayak so he could tow me and my boat to shore - no easy task. A woman in their group helped my wife retrieve the paddles and another item or two. Minutes later we found our son wrapped in a towel, being tended to by Mrs. Hufstedler and other women in their group. Last night before bed I told my son, "Those people were very kind to us today. God bless them."

The lady at the front desk was rude and snarky, acting as if us using their services was a burden and an issue to her time. When we asked for a location to drop our kayaks off at to be able to float with our friends, she refused to tell us where, with rolling her eyes and loud huffs (quite literally). She was arguing with me about where i should park my car, saying we should put it at the drop in location (which she refused to give a location/pin/address to) and not worry about where we come out at. Probably one of the most childish experiences. But it doesnt stop there... once we were on the water, my friends whom rented from this place were missing items. Two people were sent on the 14 mi float WITHOUT lifejackets!! They didnt provide LIFE JACKETS!! This is extremely important; my friends lives are important! My sister who rented a canoe was given a broken oar, which we took pictures of before ever starting the float. Also, the driver of the bus to get to the drop in spot knew he had 2 vehicles following behind... yet he still chose to take multiple dirt roads, when after the float, we GPS'd back, and only had to take the dirt road that the drop in location was on... so much chaos; atleast the driver was a nice guy. At the end of the float, no one was waiting for us, so if something tragic had happened, there would have been no help. No one to save potential fatalities on the river..... Honestly the river is amazing, I would float it again... but if youre looking for an outfitter, I highly suggest using the other one in Alton, because the service of Hufstedler's is atrocious and the people do not care about you, your safety, or your life.

Wrong because they had some serious rain before I came down and the spillway which never spilled in like 70 years spilled big time and took out the valley and everything was flooded with roads closed etc. the whole area all over every where we drove and I mean 25 miles had flooding everywhere. The usual clear water was dirty brown so I don't know you begin to catch fish. The grounds and ramps were under water so I don't know why you would want to launch a boat since you don't know what your motor will get snagged on. Overall this was a nice place so I'm adding them to Yelp so everyone can see how beautiful the place is and a web link to check out. This is a really nice place when it's not all messed up and would make a beautiful camp/Rv spot, my timing was just bad.

The site we…read morehad initially booked turned out to be unacceptable and she was very willing to let us change sights. The new site had power, water and sewer. However the sites seemed to be just crammed in. Very little room between units. The area had not been mowed in a long time. The weeds were high and very hard to maneuver around. The restrooms were unacceptable as were the showers. Luckily we didn't need to use either of them. The fire ring was full of burned trash and cans and so close to the neighboring camper that we were afraid to use it. The river was very pretty, clean and clear. But then again that's what I guess we went down there for. I believe we would explore other options if returning.
