We had a large group stay for canoeing on the North Fork and the Bryant. The campgrounds are well maintained and close to the river. I am not a camper so my oldest and I stayed in the Roosevelt camper within walking distance of the campground and river. If you like to canoe but don’t like to camp I would highly recommend this option. Having a kitchen stocked with appliances and access to the toilet makes it feel more like a vacation than roughing it. However the toilets and showers for the campsite are super nice. The queen sized bed and the kitchen chairs are comfortable. This will be our new destination for our yearly canoeing trips.

Sunburst Ranch is a top-notch outfitter. We chose the 1/2 day float to the “Landing.” It was a nice mix of white water fun and easy-going current. Overcast days can be the best for photos. This float allows a visit to Althea Spring, and the owners are super friendly and helpful.

we did a very last minute float trip yesterday while visiting parents in the area. SUNBURST was recommended by an old high school friend. I have floated this river many times in the past and Sunburst is now my favorite outfitter on the North Fork. They had our 3 canoes and 2 kayaks riverside, ready to go at our arrival. Let us know about current conditions and spots to stop, swim and explore. exceptional customer hospitality. Nice camping area (big shade trees gone from flooding), nice shower and bathroom facilities. Small store in case you forget anything and comparable pricing. Also they only rent higher quality fiberglass canoes and the kayaks are nice little sporty Jackson models. Plus it's just an awesome river to float and they have 2 great options. Will definitely visit them again on our next MO trip.…

We love sunburst Ranch! We go every year as a family. We rent a van & all ride down together. We’ve been doing this for many years. I think this was like our 6th year. We usually stay at the Lodge which we love but I thought we’d give memories made a try. I thought it was more near the water. When I called and asked about being able to get to the water to swim, we were told that we could. You can’t!! We like the Lodge because there’s a trail to get to the water & swim. We loved that about Sunburst. We thought that this was a new cabin since it states that it’s the newest addition to Sunburst and we thought that being said that it was near all of the other cabins, it’s totally separated and you have neighbors. It’s across from the graveyard in that area if you know where that’s located. We were really disappointed that we were away from all of the SBR surrounding because we really enjoy being a part of it when we are there. The cabin itself needs some updates. The recliner was broken, the beds were so hard that everyone complained of a backache and slept terribly. The furniture In general is uncomfortable. We had problems with the refrigerators getting cool. All of the beer was warm until the next day. Other than all of that the cabin is super cute and decorated cute. We love, love, love Sunburst and always have. I’m not knocking Sunburst what so ever just wish we would have had more of a general idea of the cabin. The plan that this was our last trip to SBR due to my parents illnesses and wanted this year to be super special. The river was up and SBR did a great job helping with the raft when we had to take it out of the water to put over the bridge. I hope that we get the chance to go back again & enjoy the Lodge & river again. Good memories at Sunburst! …

Response from Justin Spencer, Owner at Sunburst Ranch
Responded Jul 8, 2020
Hi There - We are so terribly sorry to hear that you didn't like the Memories Made Cabin. Sunburst Ranch does not own the memories cabin and will pass that information on to the owner. We hope you do come back and rent the lodge next time as it really is a great cabin with wonderful access to the water. The Memories Made cabin has its own page, and would benefit best if you wrote your review for them on the cabin part. We hope to see you back!

I went floating the first time on the North Fork of the White River. The owners were very instrumental in helping with this float. They kept me informed on the status of the river. I was also clued in on what type of flies to use for fly fishing. Brian, shuttled me to my put in slot. He gave a very thorough review of the river. It was obvious that he and is his wife care about the health of the river. I floated back to their campground. Brian was kind enough to pack my gear up their ramp. He also help load my canoe on my car. The Beatty’s, owners of the Sunburst Ranch are good folk who take excellent care of their floaters and campers. Highly recommend floating a beautiful river with them.

Been going to Sunburst now for 6 or 7 years. I have a group of 40 and they accommodate every need. Amy is awesome to work with, very knowledgeable of the area and her canoes are in great shape. Being right next to the river is just an added bonus, the camp sites for tents are flat and easy to set up and their cabins are awesome. This year I booked 12 canoes, 4 rafts a few tubes and we had one of the best times ever. We have already booked again for next year. Highly recommended. Thanks again for a great time Amy and thanks for watching our crock pot while we were out floating.

My family and friends (a group of about 16) has gone every year in July for over 6 years. It is literally a blast. We range in age from 18-48 and we all have a great time together! Wouldn't want to go anywhere else for our annual trip!! We stay in the big lodge and it is so clean and well kept. The family that manages the camping area is awesome!

The customer service I have experienced here is top rate! The kayaks I reserved were ready and waiting lined up on the shore complete with floatation devices and bags to tote your stuff. They were also waiting for us at our take out amd a bus was there in minutes to shuttle us back to our lodge. There are many thoughtful details in our lodge and accommodates our group of 15 very well! Our view is amazing! The grounds were freshly mowed for us, there are dishes and pots and pans for us to use, a nice big fridge, I could go on and on. Thank you Sunburst ranch!

The outfitter: Clean facility, lots of area to camp that are adjacent to the river, great general store with super helpful people. Clean bus for transportation and good solid fiberglass canoes, not the old aluminum ones. $40 a canoe includes two people, and transport for a 12 mile float. best outfitter on the river. The river: Nice and cool on a hot day. Clear water with a limited amount of drunks. The river had lots of people fishing, families, boyscout troops and a few in their middle 20's having some beers.
