    My friend, Bonnie, and I really enjoy staying at this campground. Our first stay was quite the…read moreadventure. Anthony totally took care of us, making sure we were comfortable at our site which was right by the river. We locked ourselves out of the trailer late on Saturday night. We called the after hours number and the host, Megan, called Anthony. IAnthony offered to take us to a hotel and call a locksmith in the morning. Our keys, purses, chargers, etc. were locked in the trailer. To make a long story short, he helped us break into the trailer. The next morning he came back and repaired the lock that we broke to get in. When he was done, it looked like new. Anthony refused any money, he did all this on his own time. The restrooms were amazing!! The whole camp was very clean and accommodating. Everyone was very nice and shared positive vibes. This is now our favorite place to stay when we are in the Salida, Buena Vista area. They have a fun gift shop and they help you with rafting trips, hot spring excursions, etc. The town of Salida is nearby and has cute stores, restaurants, and river access. I HIGHLY recommend Chalk Creek Campground. What could have been a terrible weekend that first time out, turned out to be a wonderful weekend thanks to Anthony and to Megan's hospitality. Anthony restored my faith that there are some truly nice people in this world. .

    My two best friends and I have been staying at this campsite at least a quarter of the year for the…read morelast 3 years so this review has been long overdue. We are Messianic/1st century Christians that celebrate the Hebrew Festivals so finding places we can trust with the "set apart" vibes is super important to us. First off, I love that this campsite is still owned by a family VS a corporation! The owner Megan is so sweet and really does her best to manage the grounds and create a great experience for her customers. Her staff Ron, Jan, Jason, Jeremy, Michael, Luke, Joyce, and Anthony (everyone I can think at the moment) really makes this place feel like a home away from home. Great location: We personally like camping in tents down at the lower level. Yes, there is a road that can be heard because it's directly behind the site but who cares?! I think it's in a really convenient place in between Salida (20 minutes away) and Buena Vista (7 minutes away). The beautiful river that runs through is really pretty sounding most of the time! I go straight to sleep hearing the babbling brooks and occasional fish plopping out of the waters Facilities and convenience: The wifi is great! I believe they use starlink now! I like to park ny truck at the upper level to finish any work emails/calls or watch movies The showers do require quarters but I won't complain because they get really hot, really fast. I've never had any issues with having hot water here. Also, the bathrooms stay really clean and the laundry room next door is super convenient. We like to shop in the front store for stuff when we run out of basics. Saves time and money not having to go to the grocery store! Dog friendly: We have a small dog (terrier and Chihuahua mix) that gets pretty yappy when she sees other dogs but what dogs don't freak out when they see other dogs? The poop stop for her at the upper level is great to let her do her business when other dogs aren't around. We dont have any kids with us but we see families come with kids all of the time and they seem really happy playing lots of outdoor games in the fields! The campsite also hosts bingo on weekends and kids have lots of fun playing. God bless this place!

    Great overall experience with River Runners on the Numbers trip this past weekend. It was a lovely…read morelate-July day on the water, with some tricky navigating due to the season sunsetting into a milder whitewater flow. Our guide, Beck (aka Ms. Worldwide) was knowledgable and personable. There were three boats on the river in total and the guide team (including Tim and Killen (unsure of spelling, but it was not pronounced like the Irish Cillian)) was highly personable with great camaraderie. Seemed like they really enjoyed guiding together and working for the company. A jovial, knowledgable bunch. Which is what you want heading into a little death-defying-ish escapade! Our crew of strangers blended well together under Beck's guidance. She communicated very well through each rapids. I was unsure whether this rafting adventure would be either too campy or too risky, but for a comfortable outdoorsperson with some paddling experience, the Numbers trip was the perfect mix of adventurous and secure. There were no dunked teammates or capsized boats, but we did get stuck a little due to late-season exposed boulders. The RR team worked well together when we did, Killen hopping out to unwedge us like a champ so we could proceed along our mini-expedition. The trip took a few hours in all, close to 2 of which were in the water itself. The instructions were clear. The gear provided was solid. Tim's dog Connor was a good emotional support pooch on the ride over. The experience was well worth the cost. 10/10. I will ding the company on one front--they did have a photog snapping pics of us on the river, which were available for sale at trip's end. The price? $35 an image. I get the bottom line here, and for a large group pooling funds that might be worth it. But for 1-2 people snagging a single digital print? Hard pass. Overall, the trip was excellent and I'd highly recommend the company for trips on the Arkansas. Already thinking an earlier season, faster-flow trip with them is in the cards for next Summer.

    We booked our trip beginning of 2022-ish when they were running som specials on 2 and 3 day trips…read more I gave the information to my girl scouts and had a couple that wanted to go. I was not initially supposed to be the adult going with. I have a fear of bigger and faster rapids....... However stuff happened and it ended up being me. From the beginning they were easy to work with. I had made a tentative reservation online but we didn't have quite enough people. However our trip was early in the season. I called after a couple of days to see if they thought we would be a go. They opted to run the trip for us since we were early season. They did keep it up for others to potentially join but no others did. Which is unfortunate. Our experience was great! They sent plenty of email communications as it got closer including asking about dietary needs and then reminders. When we arrived we got there an hour early as instructed in the email. They checked us in. Got us a dry bag and our tokens for getting the wet suit. We went and packed our dry bags. And then picked up our wet suits and went to the bathrooms to change. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. The wet suits dont have the arms and neck so you would want to wear a non cotton shirt underneath or be sure to wear a lot of sunscreen (if you are renting a wet suit. We were early season and it was recommended to us) Turbo, the driver came out to chat with us as we were waiting and gave a pep talk. Through our chat he had found out I was nervous. Appreciated the pep talk. Our guides, Kat and Gregg were professional and knowledgable about rafting. Kat shared quite a bit of some of the cool history of the area. Gregg really try to engage my quiet and introverted girls. Being that we were doing a 2 day trip there was food involved. We had 3 of us who have celiacs and then one who is also vegan and one who is also vegetarian. They were able to accomodate our needs with really yummy, delicious and filling food. Gregg and Kat prepared all our meals. Honestly we all felt a little bad we are used to being doers. It was weird to have someone else doing all the work. But they did a great job and the food was yummy and satisfying! They also had some desert available at times and hot drinks. Was so thankful that they did such a good job with the food. Sometimes places can't get it right when you have a gluten free and vegan combo. That was not the case here. They did a great job!! Our camping area was lovely. There was a little bit of hiking available. But they also brought some games that we played for a bit. It was nice and relaxing. The next day going through the canyon was definitely a lot of fun. As with most companies they do take some pics of your ride, if you want pics be sure to stop back by the front desk after your experience. You wont be sorry this is a great company.
