ColdWaterFshr Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Are the campgrounds there reservable? Have a big group coming down in early May and I'd like to make sure we can get in. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdWaterFshr Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks, Gavin. Guess we'll just take our chances on getting a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxidermist Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 If not Steel Creek, there is erbie and Ozark. Erbie hardly ever has anyone camping at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 How is Erbie? Are there showers? We are headed down again the first weekend in May. A good time to float? Any suggestions on a day float at that time of the year. Last year we stayed at Tyler Bend. It was fun. The kids love the Buffalo River float! Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.

bobber Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 no showers at eurbie! the road back in is about 8 miles long . it's a good road not too steep, not to rough.... another jewel is carver, i never see many campers at that one! ( the only showers are at tyler, and buffalo point) the launch area at tyler was washed away! all the sand and gravel are gone! the bottom of buffalo point put in is gone!!! the bottom 2/3 of it anyway the road to bakerford and too woolum are rough the roadgrader was heading that way.... the river is different looking on the upper sections all that is left behind are large round rock , no sand. no gravel. the water ripped the banks off the sides and it looks bad.... floating down the river looking up 12 to 18 feet in the air, seeing logs just dangling ,and leave wads way to high up, up in tree branches. i have not floated anything lower than kyles. but i have been running the boxley to ponca and then on to kyles section the past few weekends.. i'm heading down to buffalo point this weekend and i will post my findings at that time! <*)))))))>< * AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION CERTIFIED CANOE, and SWIFT WATER RESCUE INSTRUCTOR.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks. I appreciate it. This is a family camping and floating time. so showers are essential to my ability to live. I like the secluded stuff better myself. I think you helped me out with informaton with last years trip. If you ever come through Nixa, ,let me know and we can share a cup of coffee. My treat.
