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!

The owner of the campground goes out of his way to make sure you have what you need. The little shop at the entrance has a lot of cute decor and clothing.

The course is also family oriented so, if you want to take your kids, (I believe ages 10 and up) you could make this a great family adventure. At a minimum, if you're a hiker and camper like I am, you will feel a lot more confident on venturing out into the woods and forests. Mr. Hunsaker and Mr. Hamlin were my two primary instructors and the amount of knowledge I gained from them in a weeks time was almost overwhelming. I learned a lot. In my class, there were people that stayed there at the campground every night and then also some folks stayed in hotel rooms and came back every morning. The campground/school is perfectly accommodating for what you'll need and what you'll be learning.

We had so much fun, we learned volumes from Rob and Joshua, and enjoyed the experience of a week spent in the woods with a group of fellow bush crafters. There were fathers and sons, wanna-be survivalists, and washed up boyscouts...all of which loved the time there. If you are looking to learn how to survive alone in the woods you cannot find a better option! I HIGHLY recommend Sigma 3

He was patient and thorough with an emphasis on safety. All the equipment was explained and what we would do in the air was planned out step by step. Our pilot, Ben Morris, expertly got us where we needed to be smoothly and safely. The total vibe here was friendly and welcoming. While stepping out of that plane at 10,000 feet was quite the moment, I felt safe with the instructor and trusted the process. We landed exactly where Justice said we would and he made it effortlessly. would definitely recommend this place and it's thoughtful people.......and I'll be going again!!!
