Always a good time. I've been coming for several years. Group float trips and family float trips. The women love the nice facilities. As we've gotten older the wife isn't interested in camping so I've been coming early or late in the season when it's cooler with my huskies. I'm probably 1 of a dozen people here so i have it almost all to myself.

High quality place. Very nice camping lots. Very nice wash up facilities. Very nice store with many convenient items. Look forward to doing it again. The float was awesome albeit crowded. Excellent service provided at all levels. Top notch. Thank you for a great get away from city life.

Been coming here for 10 years in a row. I love this place! Everyone is so friendly and in a good mood. Minimal people on their phone (minimal service), everyone is present and having a great time! The actual float is fantastic too. Bring all your food and drink as there are zero stores close. Highly recommend giving this place a chance.

We love Ozark Outdoors. The staff is great, the shuttle service is nice, and the resort itself is kept nice. We have done floats over the years and the water/beach areas are great. This year we did the tube loop, and it was definitely a one and done type of thing. We prefer floating in a raft way more than the tube loop, but if you’re looking for a more affordable, close to the resort option - the tube loop might be perfect for you. I’m not sure if it was just the water in general, but the tube loop area in particular seemed to have very strong currents. (I don’t remember it being that strong during our normal floats.)

Family of five, stayed four nights in one of the deluxe cozy cabins. Every staff member we came across was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The little cabins were just right for us, pretty much had everything we needed. The campground is huge, and for its size was very clean and well kept. Did the 4 Mile float two different times, met a real nice fella who gave us a little bit of history on the way to the put in. Would definitely return, highly recommended!

Your management sucks. Improper upkeep of property, driving away loyal customers. Owners need to look into new management or continue to lose businesses!! Word is getting around to avoid this place at all costs.

We’ve been camping at this resort since 2017. Loyal patrons. We’re there about 12 weeks a year. Never caused any problems. Two weeks ago we had a reservation. It had flooded and the grounds were not ready for campers. They did not notify anyone. When we arrived, we couldn’t set our camper up on the site due to the condition, so we went elsewhere. No refund was given, nor credit for future camping. We said nothing, just left. We just received a call from the manager telling us we are no longer allowed to camp at their resort!! She lied and said it’s because we are chronic complainers. That is not true. We’ve always been praised for being loyal and wonderful customers. Unbelievable. Would never recommend this resort to anyone now, which is the complete opposite of what we’ve done in the past. Beyond disappointed in this.

A great place to camp. Easy river access and right next to Onondaga for the cave tour and stuff. My wife and I did a camping trip for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we had a great time. Highly recommend for couples, families and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. We're definitely bringing the kids next time.

Stayed on the family side of the resort. We love it here! Great area and easy access to the large gravel bar beach area! Pull through area in the woods can be tight to maneuver your rig but it's very doable!

We have been coming to this location since 2008, in the years that we have been here we have seen many changes. Mostly good. We loved when the cabins were upgraded, they are very nice. However, the price increases yearly for no more amenities. We have always brought our own kitchen ware and linen, but this time there wasn't even a broom for us to use to sweep with, or dish soap to clean with. I was a bit underwhelmed since the prices have continued to increase, I would think there would be more to the cabins. We will continue to come as we love it here but it is a bit disappointing to us that the prices are high but there is nothing to show for the increase. Thank you.

We loved this resort. 1st visit to Ride 4 a Reason off road trails. Clean rooms at Doo Drift Inn. Courteous staff. We Will return for a summer adventure.

4 friends and I had a wonderful experience at Ozark (17-19SEP). Check in was a breeze and the shop has ice, wood, and many other camping items that you may need. Our cabin was clean, the AC worked great, and the shower water got to an appropriate temperature. The two picnic tables (one on the deck, one next to the fire pit) was very convenient. Our first day was for exploring: the area is beautiful, well kept, and has good signage for navigating the area. Day 2 was the float trip. Getting to the parking area was easy, the staff helped us find our "bus stop", and the bus driver was informative on how to navigate the float from start to finish. The float was amazing. We left on the 3rd day; check out was quick. I was glad to have cell service - it was a bit spotty but I didn't mind at all. I just used it to check in with family each day. Looking forward to the next adventure at Ozark.

The absolute best float trip resort in Missouri! Clean! Very new clean amenities. The tube loop float is the best in the state. It borders the resort the entire time. We liked that. It was just a few hours and that was all we wanted to do.Great beaches and beautiful landscape with bluffs cliffs and trees and AWESOME rushing river. We will be back!

We have stayed at several different campgrounds over the years and this by far is the nicest site we have ever stayed at. Most of the camper sites were pull through sites. Which is nice for anyone (like me) that doesn't like to back into their site. The bathrooms and showers were really clean. The showers did take quarters, but 2 quarters got you at least 5 minutes. The swimming pool was large and well maintained. There was a nice restaurant that had several options including pizza, burgers, fish, etc. The restaurant even delivers to your site. We enjoyed several activities at the resort including rafting, swimming at the pool and on the river, renting tubes for a day and the treetop adventure. The store had everything you could possibly need including food, camping supplies, toys, clothes, towels, etc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We stayed during the week when there were very few people on the river. However, by Friday the campground got very crowded and it was very loud at night, even on the family side. I would definitely recommend going during the week, to avoid the crowds.

Clean camp grounds, friendly staff!
