Michelle and Paul's land was a simple, well thought out area that provided everything our group needed for a multi-day stay on what was the hottest weekend of the Summer so far! I unfortunately had to leave early, but the rest of our group was able to stay and enjoy the sights in the area as well as at the campground itself. The creek was beautiful, with crystal clear waters and tons of little critters for kiddos (and kids at heart) to find. The reviews are correct that rock hounding was also a solid 10/10 here! Michelle greeted us upon arrival, and had been kind enough to move us to a spot in the shade so that we didn't have to worry about fighting the heat even more. Her directions were spot on, and she was always available either through text, or as she rode around checking on her guests. Amenities such as the bathrooms and shower were simple, which is to be expected when you take the camping route. We were simply happy to have them available!! Lots of enjoyable wildlife, good people, stunning sights, and good memories to be made. We would be happy to stay again! (when it's not 115° index 😅)

Weekend Trip to Williams Camp : Eleven Point River

We reserved the entire Williams camp for float trip group and it worked great! Had 4 campers setup and half dozen tents. Water and electric worked great also! Floated the eleven point river with Hufstedlars outfit. They were able to pickup/dropoff at our location, which is clutch, nobody had to drive after the float. It was really nice to have a place for our group all by ourselves, very secluded but still easily accessible. Phone service was 50/50 for some of us, but personally my phone worked well the entire time while at the campsite. You are definitely in the woods, so be ready with the bug spray and tick prevention. Overall, my group of 18 had a great experience here, we would def reserve this again when we come back to the 11pt River.

It did rain more than we liked on Friday, it flooded 2 of our tents but dried up quickly. They were calling for more rain Saturday evening and Sunday so we ended up packing up early(Saturday afternoon) so we didn't flood again, but overall it was a great stay. We were secluded, it was peaceful, the kids enjoyed the creek. Shelly showed us all the swimming spots and the kids loved the swimming and walking the creek. Will be returning!

My husband and I had a terrific week on Michelle and Paul’s land. We had originally reserved a few days by the creek and a few on the ranch so we could hook our trailer camper up to power. We didn’t know the layout of the place. When we got there they had us set up in a spot by the creek and ran a power cord for us to charge up without having to move to a new spot half way through the week. Our 2 mini Aussies loved the freedom of being off leash and playing in the water. Bathrooms and shower house were clean. Lots of room to roam and explore. The creek is full of drusy quartz and lace agate. Rockhounding is one of the reasons we were in Missouri, so unknowingly picking a place to camp that had such a great creek was a huge bonus. It was mid April when we were there so there were only a few other campers there for 2 days of our stay so we had the place to ourselves. The swimming hole was too inviting to not at least try. It was so cold it nearly stopped my heart,lol. I don’t know if it gets warmer but it’s not too deep and would be great for kids in the heat of summer. And if the things to do around camp aren’t enough you’re close to lots of great state parks and things to see. Blue Spring is only a short drive away and worth a visit, Cave Spring is a little farther and a wonderful 5 mile hike out and back that’s also totally worth it. Michelle checked in with us several times during the week to see if we needed anything. Everything was exceptional! Highly recommended!!

I loved it here. It’s quiet and the hosts were phenomenal. I spent 90% of my time walking through the beautiful beaches of rocks and clear water. Everywhere you look there are druzy rocks filled with crystals. As a huge rock nerd myself I was in heaven. I will definitely be back! I bring my own portable toilet and tent to put it in cause I never use public restrooms. I looked inside the camps restrooms and they looked clean and didn’t smell so that’s a plus! They are definitely old but who cares. The grounds were clean and had very little traffic of cars. I basically had the entire campground to myself!

Where to go

Ozark National Scenic Riverways

Spend your days exploring the best of the Ozarks along the shores of the Jacks Fork and Current Rivers. Then, sleep under the stars, which shine even brighter in this remote region. The National Park Service operates several campgrounds across this 80,000-acre unit, with a mix of electric and non-electric sites. Some are suitable for tents only, while others can accommodate RVs. Alley Spring and Big Spring are home to the largest, most developed parks. Primitive and backcountry camping sites are also available.

Mark Twain National Forest

If you haven’t had your fill of rivers, head to the Eleven Point/Doniphan Ranger Unit of Missouri’s Mark Twain National Forest, where you’ll find the Eleven Point National Scenic River. With undeveloped shorelines, this river provides scenic serenity for paddlers and anglers. A number of primitive float camps welcome boaters—or venture off the river to find more developed RV parks and glamping rentals.

Van Buren, Missouri

Van Buren is a hub of activity and camping in southern Missouri, located 40 miles north of Doniphan. Grab an ice cream cone or home-style meal at one of the many restaurants in town to fuel up for your outdoor adventures. Big Spring, one of the largest in the U.S., is a must-see, with dazzling blue waters feeding into the Current River. Public camping can be found on National Park Service, Army Corps of Engineers, and national forest lands. Private RV parks and glamping rentals provide amenities like electric hookups and family activities.

When to go

Summer is when the action is at its highest, as Doniphan’s float trip season kicks into high gear. The waterways are at their busiest, bursting with tubes, canoes, and kayaks, and yet, there is still solitude to be found. The spring-fed rivers provide a refreshing break from the heat and humidity. Though the water isn’t as inviting in spring and fall, the weather is, with moderate temperatures and scenic opportunities for leaf-peeping in the Ozarks hills. A hush falls across the region in winter, as cold temperatures and occasional snows descend.
