Where the Elk River winds through southwest Missouri, Elk River Floats & Campground sits alongside the water just outside Noel. The campground features large, widely spaced RV sites with gravel pads and level ground, according to recent visitors. A camp store operates on-site, along with a small shack selling shaved ice. The owner maintains an on-site presence and patrols the grounds regularly.
Small rental cabins complement several tent sites across the property. A gas station and country grocery store sit next door for basic supplies. Campers can explore campgrounds around Noel for additional options in this river recreation area.
