Seriously the best campground if you have little kids! The water, including the falls themselves…read moreare shallow enough even the smallest of kids can safely play in them. The owners and their employees take the best of care of the place, bathrooms, land, animals and campers. Stores are close enough if you need anything just a short 5 min drive will get you to a small Country grocery store or Dollar General, both stocked with anything you need. If you want to raft or canoe they partner with another 5 star campground, Big Elk Campground.

For the price I'll expect at least cleaner bathrooms and hand soap at the bathrooms. We have been…read morehere 2 days and they haven't clean the bathrooms once in Labor Day weekend what? With all the camp sides being full you'll imagine how bad the bathrooms look and no one worry to clean them. I have to call them to ask if they were planing on cleaning the bathrooms and they just take the trash out, but did not clean the showers or anythingThere's no paper towels, or hand soap.

Great sites. Full hookups available but limited at times so call ahead. Plenty of spots right on…read moreLittle Sugar Creek (without hookups but some electricity access), which is a great float and great fishing (small mouth bass primarily). Well kept up and they just opened a FANTASTIC restaurant right down the street with PERFECT "after-float" food and libations! Also, manager has shuttle opportunities he can refer you to. Must consider for a relaxing weekend or few day respite!!

I love to kayak and Sugar Island is always my first pick in Pineville. First, the actual river…read morefloat is so much more interesting (and sometimes challenging) than the other branches of the river in Pineville. We've been floating here for several years and the owners and employees are always friendly and helpful. I believe ownership changed to another generation and I think they've stepped up their game even more - they have a better selection of kayaks to rent and their customer service is great. They are always friendly and helpful and they will transport us for a small fee when we bring our own kayaks.

The nice people at Sugar Island help us shuttle our own kayaks for day trips on Big Sugar. I have…read morenever stayed at the campground - don't know if I would actually, it's not really my jam, but in terms of shuttle services and access to the river Sugar Island does a great job. Pros: *Reasonable rates for shuttle. *Employees are ALWAYS nice and friendly compared to many shuttle services or outfitters I've used on other rivers that often act like and charge as if you are asking them to move a mountain. *Easy to drive down to the take-out point and load up when you're done. Cons: *The place is pretty trashy. Junk vehicles around the property, overflowing trash dumpsters - the front parking lot was a minefield of used tampons last time we were there. The office/restroom building is pretty gross and rundown, even for a river campground.

We had a fantastic time using the canoes with SBC. Not only did we rent canoes for floating down…read morethe Elk River, we also stayed at the lodge which slept 12 of our 16 person Labor Day Party! The lodge had a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, two full bathrooms, and a BBQ pit in front. We used it all. You do have to bring your own linen and bedsheets, however, which was fine with us. Plenty of space for parking right outside too. One of our guests even decided to tent outside and there was room for that too. The lodge had private access to the Elk River where some of our patrons went to fish and soak in some of Americas most pristine water. We got to the lodge Saturday and partied hard. Sunday at about 10:30am, a driver brought a truck to the lodge and picked up our water coolers for River canoeing party so we didn't have to carry them next door. Then we walked over to the property next door where we found our canoes or sit on top kayaks to take down stream for a total of 8 miles. We completed our 8 miles of wet watery blissful fun in about 5-6 hours, stopping many times along the sides of the river for snacks and drinks. I can't remember another Labor Day where I have had more fun!

The two guys at check-in were great -- friendly, helpful, and the only positive part of this…read moreexperience. Unfortunately, the owner completely ruined it. Instead of handling a misunderstanding professionally, she came yelling down the road at us, telling us to never come back like we were criminals. Maybe there needs to be better communication between management and the employees checking guests in. Also, don't expect everyone to magically know who you are just because you own the place. Needless to say, we won't be returning, and I'll definitely be warning others to stay far away from this dump of a site. #zerostars

I only mention this because it rained and some people got out and called for pick up. This is the most mellow laid back creek we have floated on. It was almost like we had the whole place to ourselves. We did the shorter one, got put in around 10 am and we're out a little after 12pm. Perfect for kids first float! They do go up to 12 miles. Rafts we're all in good condition and bus was super comfy!

This was my 2nd time booking through GCC! All in our party had a fantastic time. The staff was…read morevery helpful about different areas to watch out for and even helped us when 3 of us took a tump in the beginning. Highly recommend this business if you are in the NW Arkansas area. The river is mostly calm and a very relaxing float. Very rural and no nudity both times we have gone.

Wife and I reserved tubes for rental, and planned on a float…read more When we arrived, Joe advised us that with river levels, it would likely be a very long float (no paddles). So, we decided to upgrade to a tandem kayak, and had a great time. Special shout outs to both Joe, who got us all checked in, and Mark, the shuttle driver, who was very helpful with getting us into the water and entertaining.

I really loved the amenities such as pizza and firewood delivery. The pizza tastes like buffet…read morepizza. Sweet crust and greasy, everything you need after a long float trip. The water shoes in the shop were a fair price. The large cabin was perfect, being close to the main cabin. I would've preferred having outlets where we slept, which was the pullout couch under the stairs.

So fun!! Not for kids on the weekends but a blast!! The big cabin was great for a large group.read more

We booked last minute at Gracies for a float trip down the Elk. We've floated the Elk before but…read morehad never stayed at Gracies. It wasn't a horrible experience, but we won't be back. We rented a four person cabin as we like AC and are not campers. The cabin was super tiny but nice and cool. There's not any space inside the cabin for hanging out. Definitely room for sleeping only. Despite the small size, the cabin was clean and worked great for sleeping! Typically we book places with private bathrooms, and although the community bathrooms were relatively clean (considering it's a campground), there wasn't any hot water for showers. The biggest drawback to Gracies was the smell. Normally, we'd like to spend more time outside but the place smelled of sewage and there was no escaping it. The smell really put a damper on our trip. We even walked around the camp hoping to escape the smell and had no luck. Despite the DJ, we didn't find the campgrounds to be overly loud. However, if our neighbors had been there to party, I could see how the close quarters could result in lack of sleep.

I can honestly say I cannot relate with ANY of the negative reviews that have been left. The staff…read morewas incredibly nice and accommodating. When I called to make the reservation the lady who answered was very clear about their rentals policies and pricing. As soon as we got to Gracie's the guys at the gate made check-in super easy and even drove our party to our cabins. They offered to bring us ice for our coolers as well as take our coolers down on a trailer to the beach the day we floated. When the float was done they unloaded our raft and loaded all of our coolers onto the bus. We stayed in cabins 7&6. They were clean and perfect for what we were using them for, to sleep. It's about a 2 minute walk to the clean swim beach and a minute walk to the bath house from these cabins. We actually forgot our Bluetooth speaker and found the DJ pretty awesome. The music wasn't too loud at all! The environment was very kid friendly. So just to recap, the staff is incredible, the grounds are super clean, and the swim beach is beautiful. I can say without a doubt that we will most definitely be back to camp at Gracie's!
