Take your time and read them (including the 5 star ones) I stopped counting at 25 of people who complained about the road and it went back years ago. You try to avoid one pothole or washed out area just to hit the next pothole or washed out area. It was so bad we stayed somewhere else. Id rather loose out on the deposit then destroy my vehicle. ​

We loved our stay here! It's clean, quiet and not too big. The owners (Steve and Sherry I think?)…read morego out of their way to make sure guests are well taken care of and don't have any concerns. Our fifth wheel is long and a few of the spots are tricky, so the owner was nice backup to spot us while we parked it. There is a nice lake for fishing or relaxing and they even have a sweet non-denominational church service on Sunday mornings (in season). If there is only one downside, it's the lengthy entry to get into the park. It's a gravel road that shouldn't be taken quickly. Really looking forward to returning!

The boat was in great condition and ran perfectly. We especially appreciated that they delivered the boat to us and picked it up afterward--it made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Amanda and Chris were incredibly friendly, professional, and provided outstanding customer service. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day on the water. I highly recommend Breakaway Boat Rentals and will definitely rent from them again the next time we're in the area!

I've been going to One Eyed Willy's for years now. I've been on a 10-15 person bachelorette party…read moretrip, two 30+ person college student/young adult trip, as well as a one-day non-camping float with my husband and I. My most recent was one of those giant group trips this past weekend. I've also floated at NRO and some crappy site around Steelville (Green's maybe?). There's definitely a reason we keep going back to OEW's and will continue to do so. First of all, Brian, the owner, is a super nice guy. We hadn't made it down there in about 3 years, and he still remembered me "Last time I saw you, you just got engaged!". Though not great at answering e-mails (just don't bother), the staff is quick to return phone calls if you leave a voicemail. The campsite itself has a nice layout, and they keep improving. Port-o-potties are serviced often, and they have a small shower, bathroom, and store close to the campsite (previously they were only available way up the hill, so thumbs up on the improvement!). The showers and bathrooms were clean and well lit, unlike some other places I've been. By the time we booked, the aluminum canoes were all gone, which is usually how we go, because they're cheaper. Now, no longer being the broke college student, I will ALWAYS pay the measly $5 extra for the fiberglass canoes. Molded seats...worth every penny. Remember that. In general, the Niangua is a great river to float on. Decent current, good sand bars, and nice cold water! And if you're going to float the Niangua, go to One Eyed Willy's!

You can walk right across the street to get some great food which was super helpful for us since we are working all day when we come down and do not want to leave again after getting cleaned up to go get dinner. We were originally going to stay at a motel until I found this little gem that was just as affordable as the motel we were looking at, but so much better. I would recommend anyone to stay here and feel confident they would enjoy their stay.

There was a set of stairs that was broken so we had to walk further to our room, but besides that, it was a great stay with very fair pricing. Highly recommend!
