The lady that answered the phone was incredibly rude and denied that we paid for a float even having all the evidence. She said you are not floating with us and hung up.

I would go with bird's nest they float the same strip of river and way more accommodating and nice people.

They have people that work for them that are rude being my x husband and he is a rotten manread more

This is the second year we have used Birds Nest for our annual float trip. We like Birds Nest for 3…read moremain reasons: 1. The people are friendly and efficient. 2. They are flexible when the size of your group changes. They ask you for a deposit of 1/2 of what you approximate your group to be, and then when you arrive, you pay the remaining for who actually showed up. It is a flat rate per person, not per size of boat and number of boats like at neighboring float trip places. This makes for easy planning. 3. The float is about 4-6 hours, depending on water level and how many times you stop. There is an AMAZING cold spring and cave about 1/4 of the way through the trip that is a must-stop. We will likely return to Birds Nest.

Well first off Tina is a rude ass person who has no business running a business with her absolute…read moreawful etiquette. She has super bad people skills. She was real good at blaming other people for her mistakes && rudeness! When we brought an issue to her attention that was her fault as we had 3 adults at check in who all 3 heard her say the same thing out of her mouth, she later claimed we were all wrong! She proceeded to yell n cuss at us in from of about 20+ customers at the bar. Instead of being more professional and taking us in private she did it all out in he open & she didn't even try to resolve the issue she then just kicked us off of the property telling us to never come back... Gladly!!! With absolute pleasure we will NEVER be returning to The Rafting Company ever again!!! Tina you just lost about 20 customers over this && I'm sure a whole lot more in the past && I'm sure a lot more well into the future. Secondly the part of our group that had to get bussed to meet up with us had to wait at the place for almost 2 hours as they watched others who had checked in after get bussed on half empty busses. Like why...none of us were understanding this. So 2 hours after we were told they'd be on the river they were finally put in. Annnnnddddd lastly Tina also had told my crew that had our own kayaks that our group who they'd bus would have to float a short ways to meet up to us once they got on the river. Tina knew exactly where we were putting in since she's the one who gave us directions to the place && she knew exactly where her busses take people to put in. So no thanks to Tina but a big thanks to the sweet sweet woman who runs (formally known as) Birds Nest for telling us that Tina was wrong && we needed to float down a short bit to meet up with our group. We will not be using the TRC && will not recommend them to anyone. If I could give negative stars I would, so instead I'm giving 1 star but not by choice

This is a family campground, clean, well maintained and beautifully situated on the river. However, it is on a river and with that comes rocks, mud, potential flooding, wildlife, insects, and some hardy partiers. There will be spiders in your cabin, the carpet is not clean, the furniture is old, lines are not plush, and pillows are flat. But toilets flush, water from the spigot will run clear after a few minutes and the mud usually dries up pretty quickly. This campground has quiet hours and isn't crazy full of drunks, like others in the area. But it is a take out spot for paddlers, so you will be entertained by floaters at the end of their day of drinking. Typically a nice rocky beach exists and you can hang at the river. Now if it's been raining a lot the beach may be gone. This is rare. Indian Springs is an ideal place to stay to float. At your appointed time you and all your coolers get to go on a crazy ride on an old school bus where you'll be given your raft, canoe or kayak for the day. Then you simply paddle down a cool, clear, fairly shallow river until you return to your campground for a hot shower. Even hot meals are served on the weekends (breakfast and suppers). Let's talk about the term "resort." It is used very loosely in this part of MO. The five stars is not for fancy luxury. It's for practicality. In your cabin, You can expect electricity, clean linens, dorm sized fridge, running water, air conditioning, beds and a few chairs and a table on a sort of screened porch. Fire circles, trash cans and some playground equipment are available outside. Pack the kids' bikes, a pet if you're willing to pay the pet fee/fine and your own beer. While ice is available, no cold beer is sold at the store. Horseshoe pits and shoes are available for free. Our family finds this campground awesome for our needs. We have a large group (60-70 people of all ages--this year we ranged from 4 to 80 years old. We rent cabins all close to each other, some choose the extra tiny motel rooms, while some families camp (not recommended for tent camping as too prone to flooding/standing water). We make large group meals--imagine packing crockpots, roasters, fish fryers, etc. There is a small swimming pool--but I believe the owners have had it with replacing the liner so it is going to be turned into a lillypad pond. We will miss it. But we've already put down our deposit for next year!

This is a big operation. Lots of cabins and camp spots. They float the Huzzah, courtois and Meramac.read more
