Eagles Nest Camp and Canoe
Discover the outdoor fun and amenities at Eagles Nest Camp & Canoe’s RV site, perfect for river-side relaxation and water adventures in a scenic setting.
Eagles Nest Camp and Canoe is a family-friendly river outfitter and campground located in Noel, Missouri. Specializing in canoe and float trips on the Elk and Noel rivers, the business provides self-guided river experiences and riverfront camping options for visitors of all ages. Guests can choose from multiple six-mile float trips that travel between local takeout points such as Kozy Kamp, Trestle Park, and Wayside Campground. These floats typically take between three and eight hours, allowing paddlers to set their own pace and plan picnics or stops along the way.
Onsite lodging includes electric tent campsites with access to water, restrooms, and showers; waterfront primitive campsites with direct access to two swim beaches; and shaded full-hookup RV sites located close to swimming areas. One designated 60-amp full hookup RV site is available, offering water, electric, and restroom access for larger rigs.
Eagles Nest Camp and Canoe encourages guests to bring their own food and drinks for day floats and overnight stays. The property emphasizes safe, low-key outdoor recreation, with easy river access and clearly described put-in and take-out locations. Operating from Noel, Missouri, the outfitter serves families, groups, and solo paddlers seeking scenic floats, swimming, camping, and relaxed river days.
Reservations and specific availability should be confirmed directly with the campground. All trip descriptions and amenities reflect current offerings tied to listed float routes and campsite types. Seasonal availability varies by time of year, and staff can advise on river conditions, launch points, and nearby local attractions for trip planning.
