Alright... so I had a blast. The river was beautiful, as always, and the weather was pretty perfect with some cloud coverage from time to time. I went at 12:30PM on a Thursday and the shuttle to the drop off left right after I paid. The only issue I had was that once dropped off I went to inflate my tube, I bring my own, but they didn't have the connection for an ordinary black tube. So I had to take two of their tubes so I could tow mine back. I tried calling a couple of times but couldn't get through. That said... All went well and I had a great time. Here's some things to know... If you are bringing your own tube do not inflate it beforehand. There are some great places to sit and enjoy yourself alms you really should. It took me about 3 hours on a weekday. I will be back... just need to figure out my tube situation. It felt weird not having my usual tube. KEEP THE RIVER CLEAN!

I have been here twice already and this time we came as a group and everyone had a great time! Come with your own tube or you may rent one of their tubes. The bus ride to the location was fun with some good music to bump to on the way. Advice & Tips: Bring sunscreen, bring your own mixed drinks and beverages, maybe some snacks that can be contained and not get wet, keep and maintain your own trash please to keep the river clean. NO GLASS OR STYROFOAM

Love this places but is ridiculous $20 per person for camping.. my kids love camping but we are a family of 5 so in order to camping I would have to pay $100! One night. Wish it was more affordable. Other places I have gone we pay $10-15 per car per tent.. Sadly we won't be returning due to the high price.

We travel to TX once a year in July every year and this is Our Place!! We love the float down the river and we take the whole family. We usually do 2 floats in a day. They last about 3 hours and the views from the river are so wonderful. The trees are just astounding. The small rapids keep it fun for the younger ones. And it's usually a very relaxing day on the river and the Fish Camp which provides the bus ride to the drop off is decent. The buses are older but we feel that's just part of the experience.

We're camping and SUP'ing. Spoke w/Cody, who's actively managing Don's now. Super good guy. Wants to be paddler-friendly. Talk to them if you want to gravelbar camp, either passing by or base camping. 👍
