Whether you like camping under the stars or staying in one of our cabins we hope you come visit.
Tip: Read the reviews.
Hiking Trails
We encourage one to wander about the miles of trails that thread across the landscape. You'll visit bluff edge overlooks, plunging waterfalls, springs and even a rock shelter where native Americans once camped. The rock for the trail system at Batesville Mountain Campground was quarried, cut and stacked over an eight year period by just one man: Sparky.
Tip: Ask for a trail map at the gate.

Boat/Shuttle Reservations
IMPORTANT: We operate solely on a reservation system. Without payment or written confirmation you do NOT have a valid reservation -- and no boats will be available for use and no shuttle will be scheduled. Moreover, we reserve the right to restrict access to anyone showing up without a reservation.
Thank you for your consideration.
The 2024 paddling season begins Friday March 8!
