We had a great time camping and floating here last weekend. It is clean, safe and well maintained. The staff are all really nice and they help you get the most out of your stay. Dog friendly too!

We got the Huzzah Haven cabin and absolutely loved it! The only thing I would change is maybe add some steps or better access into river; mom thought it was too hard to maneuver the rocks to get in and cool off. Definitely got my exercise going up and down the steps but we had a blast!

I have only been once but it was a nice experience. They are a well oiled machine. We brought our own kayaks to put in and they drove our truck down to the pickup spot which was really nice. I prefer that option over the shuttle back up and will use their services again. The restroom was clean and smelled nice. Their shop had every accessory you would need.

First time ever being to the Huzzah Resort, the rooms were clean and spacious enough for the whole crew. Foods pretty expensive but this place is an essential to any family looking for their next vacation spot!

This is are go to for kayaking! It is very family and beginner friendly! It always just a great day on the river! They have all different size cabins, RV spots, and tent camping! Great beaches to play on! We love to catch the baby fish and find rocks! We also always enjoy seeing the animals! This year they go goats and we had a blast feeding them and petting them! We love seeing the horses! I have always wanted to do the horseback riding but still haven't got that lucky to be able to! This is deff a great place to take the little one and get them used to river rat life! We love u huzzah valley!! Thank you for all the great memories and adventures!

We stayed in the otter cabin. It was awesome. They are pet friendly. We had a view of the river on our back deck. It was fully furnished with everything needed as in linen cooking utensils everything. I would definitely move there if I could. The staff is very friendly. Also very helpful. We arrived late at night and not knowing that the store was already closed. We called an emergency number and a gentleman was nice enough to come put us in a cabin anyways. I highly recommend them!

Loved this resort. We had a camp site on the water and it was beautiful. Love that you can order pizza and have it delivered to you. The staff members were all very nice. We went during the week and it wasnt crowed at all. We brought our dog and he was allowed everywhere we went including the store. The only negative thing I have to say is that although there was a portapotty very close to us which was super great, it was absolutely disgusting. Probably the worst I had ever seen. I did ask when checking out and they are maintained by a different company. All in all we loved it and will be back.

We floated the Huzzah in kayaks. We went on a Friday morning, and it was not crowded at all. The water is clear, especially when compared to the Merrimac. The country store at the resort is very large and well stocked. Bathrooms and showers were clean. We will go again.

This place is REALLY expensive! And is definitely geared towards the "party" vibe kinda people. I took my 6 teenagers for family day floating and it was definitely all drunk partying people. If that what your after you'll love it but if quiet family chill type thing then I wouldn't come here. 2 night 7 people was $250! And 5 kayak rentals for float was another $250! And that AFTER military discount. Camp sites are nice mostly and on water which is why we go but they run out of electric/water sites quick! And bathroom is a single porta potty like per block we used woods. Only showers and real bathrooms are attached to main entrance store. So you will need to drive for those.

I've been here 5 times since 2015. My wife and I really love the place. We rent an A-Frame cabin and they've been recently updated. The float trips are fun. They have horses and a trail. Volleyball courts. Playgrounds for the kids. Each cabin has its own outdoor grill, fire pit, picnic table, and deck. If you like relaxing and not constantly being on the go, this place is for you.
