    The camp site was well maintained and beautiful! Working with the staff to figure out floating was extremely helpful!

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!

    This is the worst campground I've ever been to. This the place for hard core party ppl- who don't…read moreneed sleep- at all!! Last night was a Friday night. It was as if we went to a rave and decided to spend the night in the middle of it. The website says they have a strict quiet time of 11p. They sure didn't last night! And supposedly our site was in the quiet section! Our neighbors had music blaring! Across the river was blaring a different music. Ppl yelling, dogs barking until 2 a. It was impossible to sleep! And after 2 a when music finally shut off, the trains start blasting their horns and more dog barking. Oh! And this campsite is RIGHT NEXT to a busy road! I don't always need peace and quiet. I like music on floats. This was insane! Never again! Well except for tonight. We have 1 more night in this pit they call camping. lol. And- the seed tics were trying to crowd us out! By the time I set up tent the first night, I pulled off 30 tics. And I had bug spray on. I know the tics may not be management fault, but I would want to know. We had tics in tent, bed, everywhere! Oh and the shower house. Cobwebs everywhere! Not just overnight, more like we are going to do the very minimum to maintain this place so cobwebs for days. Toilets themselves were clean. No A/C. Just a fan in the corner ceiling too high to turn on. The river was very busy- but that just means lots of ppl to hand with and meet. The float was awesome.

    Pretty straight forward. They always answered the phone and answered questions. They had a rough…read morestart seems someone was late on the morning shift. But we got there about 9:15 and we're on our way about 9:45. Didn't have the fancy convenience store some launch points do, but honestly I can do without. It was very convenient the bus was right next to parking so we didn't have to haul our stuff from a parking lot to a bus stop like others ones we've gone on. They were all very friendly and helpful. The Elk River itself is a great run for families and easy to navigate. Definitely recommend! Do wish there was a slightly shorter run for families like ours. But that's ok, we'll be back!

    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!
