August
- Never a cloud without a silver lining - more rain than
usual this year has brought the water levels on Nine Mile
River well up, making it even better than ever for river
rafting fun. Bring your inflatable rafts & boats and
experience the cool refreshment of splish splashing summer
recreation just a few steps from your RV or tent.
It's a great, super-natural way to beat the heat - mum &
dad, the kids will love it even more than you!

2011 Season - Opening May 20 and closing October 10, 2011. Response was good last year to the new wakeboarding park next door to our campground so they were back for 2011; this year they phased out the generator and moved to the regular power lines. Here's some 2010 photos and a short video clip. (Video is in Shockwave Flash format; please allow time to load and size your viewing screen down for best image quality.)

GPS Advisory: We recommend you follow our directions to our campsite rather than using your in-vehicle GPS system. Our directions are calculated to bring you as close as possible via a 100 Series Highway before turning onto secondary paved roads. Current GPS directions may route you onto a longer course, partly on dirt back-country roads.
