Northwest Arkansas' Premier Illinois River Outfitter. 

IMG_0253.jpg

The Upper Illinois River in Northwest Arkansas is a true Ozark gem. We are honored to be YOUR CHOSEN OUTFITTER. We have over 40 miles of river on this side of the state line. Floating, camping, fishing, exploring by car, there is so much to see and do.

Come join us and see what this secret is all about.

Historic Gypsy Camp was started in 1928 as Gypsy Camp for Girls. The buildings from the original camp are still here and show an amazing piece of Arkansas and Ozark history. The Gypsy Camp District is on the National Historic Register. Gypsy Camp & Canoe opened in 2018 as a River Outfitter and Campground.

“Nice facilities. Courteous and friendly staff. Beautiful setting! Very convenient!”

“The employees were all very friendly and helpful. The float was peaceful for the most part with a few rapids. If you're not comfortable with the rapids they can help you launch downstream. The bathrooms were clean and everything in working order. They are a small business so reservations are appreciated to make sure they have the boats and staff ready.”

We were extremely pleased with the facilities and ease to reserve. They have a nice little store you can get last minute items. Staff was friendly and had good information. We lost our dry bag and they were kind enough to call us the next day saying they found it on the bus. We will definitely go back.

This is a great place to take the family or a large group. We had a group of 45 and they accommodated us just fine. We do a family float trip every year and will definitely be back. Thanks for a great day.
