Sunburst Ranch

Justin and Amy make us feel like family… We look forward to our yearly trip to the Sunburst Ranch! I can’t think of a better way to spend a day on the river!

Took my young kids on Labor Day weekend in 2014 and had a great time! Great campground, family atmosphere. No rowdies the two nights we were there! The float was wonderful and we had perfect weather. The staff was wonderful, helpful and nice and easy to work with. We will be coming back soon!

Stayed this past weekend, it was a bit chilly but we survived. The campsites are big and well maintained while the bathroom facilities are quite nice for a campground. The owners are very pleasant a laid back. I will be returning when the weather is warmer for a float and a dip in the river.

A friend organized a camping/​canoeing trip to Sunburst Ranch and the North Fork River. They had been using this campground for years and we had a good time. Even though it was crazy hot the weekend we went, the campground was full and almost had a tailgate or tent village feel to it. The entire campground is long and narrow, right along the river, in an open field setting. If you are accustomed to more secluded spots in the woods, you may not like this. I do like the quieter camping with fewer people, and more space between the sites, but since I was with a big group, it didn’t bother me this time. Since it seems there were a lot of large groups, it looks like each site ran into the next one. We used the sites with some electricity, but they also have cabins with A/​C. We were close to the indoor bathroom (they also have johnny on the spots throughout the area) and showers, so that was convenient for us. The indoor bathroom/​shower house is a nice facility and fairly clean (as clean as you can be in a campground). The shower was hot and I don’t remember anyone saying they ever had to wait in line even though it was a busy weekend. Our pick up for the canoe trip was early (which I would prefer, rather than them being late). Employees and owners at the facility are very helpful and and cheery. One of the owners came through when there was a severe thunderstorm blowing through to advise us to take cover. There is a store that has some last minute camping/​canoeing items. It seems you can also schedule to order breakfast and dinner, but we didn’t do that. They also sell bags of ice for $ 1.50 and barrels of firewood for $ 10.00. Overall we had a really good experience here.
