Buffalo Camping & Canoeing consistently receives high praise for its friendly and accommodating staff, family-friendly atmosphere, and convenient amenities like a well-stocked country store and on-site restaurant. Guests rave about the beautiful riverside location and memorable canoeing experiences, though some note the distance to the river itself.

I love coming here to escape the rat race of the city and be able to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside, and the river! The service is outstanding and they are all so friendly. I am looking forward to next month trip to Gilbert, Arkansas!

?????????? Absolutely love Buffalo Camping and Canoeing! My wife and I have been using their services for the past few years, and it’s always an incredible experience. This is a family-owned and operated business, and it truly shows in the way they take care of you. The team is always professional, friendly, and helpful from start to finish. They genuinely care about your experience on the Buffalo River. Make sure to stop by their Country Store before your float to grab any last-minute provisions—it’s super convenient and well-stocked. After your float, don’t miss Ben’s Place right there on-site. The mango burgers are absolutely delicious, the drinks are ice cold, and the live music adds the perfect touch to wrap up a great day on the river. We look forward to coming back every year. Can’t recommend them enough

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.

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!

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.
