Big Elk Floats & Camping

I really wanted to like this place, but they charged us $78 for one night. It was extra to have our two kids in our RV with us. The only place I’ve ever paid that much for an RV spot is beach front in Florida! Camping in California is cheaper than this rural Missouri RV park. The spots aren’t paved, just grass.

Guys, your park is likeable - but come back to a normal price and we’ll consider returning. If the floating or canoeing was included that would be one thing, but it’s extra. The RV parks closer in to Bentonville are $35-$40, a reasonable price.

This was the most disappointing campground we have ever stayed. Check-in was smooth and fast. They were very friendly. First of all they had been flooded, but they don’t seem prepared for this at all, right next to a river. The whole place is grass. Our spot was extremely soggy, we had to put the truck in 4-wheel drive just to park our trailer (we have a 21’ Escape trailer). The water spigot was in a hole in the ground that was completely covered in mud. The sewer was about 18” above the ground, we couldn’t really attach our hose. The rest rooms were just a little room with a toilet. The sink was an outside big communal thing with no soap or any way to dry your hands. The showers were not very clean looking, not sure if it was rust in the water or slimy mold all around the bottom of the walls. We paid $40 a night for FU but didn’t get to use the sewer, and they charged us $20 a night for our two dogs, so $60 a night. There was absolutely nothing for the dogs, no poop bags or dog park. What the heck did we pay for? It was raining pretty bad when we left, our camp spot flooded pretty fast, they don’t seem to even try to drain the camp spots. The hole where our water spigot was got completely filled, my husband just had to blindly reach in and undo the hose which of course ended up getting dirty water in it. The only reason we stayed here is we met family here otherwise we would have left after the first day. We will never stay here again
