Myself and a large group rented canoes from this facility and they were incredible! We had a couple last minute hiccups on our end and the staff at BC&C were extremely accommodating. Not to mention the river itself was an AWESOME paddle trip. Will undoubtedly be looking for the next good chance to come back & rent from them again!! Also their bus (shuttle) driver was clearly a very experienced truck driver. I’ve been on some sketchy canoe shuttle school bus rides and this was the first one where I wasn’t even slightly concerned for my life :)
We took the 6 mile float. Many fun places to stop and explore along the way. On the day we went, the water level on the river was low, and at two points we needed to drag our kayaks a short distance. Overall we had a ton of fun.
The people who own this establishment are always super friendly and outgoing, and so are the ladies and gents who work here! They have good food during the summer and the general store is so adorable. They also have private parking across from their store, so you don’t have to worry about someone messing with your vehicle while you float, and they offer shuttle services which doesn’t include someone else driving your personal vehicle. If you are looking for a place to start your family-friendly Buffalo adventure, this is the place you want to go with!
It's an nice campground, they pick up trash daily. The only real draw back is that it's so far from the river, you don't want yo walk it. That said we had a great time.
My wife and I did a 4 mile canoe trip down the Buffalo river. The trip started out amazing, but about an hour into our trip down stream, we got caught in a severe thunderstorm. With nowhere to shelter from the rain and lightning, we flipped our canoe over on a sand bar and sat underneath it for about an hour. When the rain let up we continued down river to our stopping point. Even though the storm caught us by surprise, we had a fantastic time on the river. The staff at Buffalo Camping and Canoeing were very accommodating, and made our trip worth every penny. I would highly recommend using Buffalo Camping and Canoeing for your outdoor canoeing experience. The water was crystal clear, the sites are amazing along the river, and the wildlife is abundant. My wife really enjoyed seeing all the fish swimming along side our canoe. We had a truly memorable experience and can't wait to return.
