Information

HOVBUG Hovercraft River Adventure Tours Begin in April ’24 at Camp Tomahawk!

Hovercrafts “fly” on an eight-inch cushion of air, making the vehicle capable of safely traveling on land or water. At Camp Tomahawk, we call it flying because the hovercraft is not touching the river’s surface. Unlike boats, the hovercraft’s air cushion allows it to travel safely over the James River regardless of depth or underwater obstacles.

Our HOVBUG Hovercraft is built for year-round fun and seats four to five people. It has a 21′ composite design made of solid foam, Kevlar and fiberglass, making it an awesome-performing unsinkable river adventurer. A licensed captain conducts our HOVBUG adventures, including 15-minute tours along the James River.

PLEASE CALL THE CAMP TOMAHAWK OFFICE TO BOOK YOUR HOVBUG TOURS!

 

 

Enjoy your summer at Camp Tomahawk

Perfect for families or avid river-goers, Camp Tomahawk offers an exhilarating tubing experience and a tranquil outdoor escape. The two-mile-long float allows visitors to meander through the Ozarks landscape on tubes or tube trackers and swim along gravel banks. Tent and recreational vehicle campsites are available for overnight stays. Located adjacent to HL Kerr Access, the Camp Tomahawk Two-Mile Tube Float site occupies a stretch of land along the upper James River owned by the Davis family since 1972. The James River runs approximately 130 miles through southern Missouri and has major tributaries, including Pearson Creek, Wilson Creek, Finley Creek, Crane Creek, and Flat Creek. The James River has long attracted smallmouth bass fishermen eager to guide johnboats through rippling waterways. Nowadays, enthusiastic paddlers seeking tube or tube tracker adventures are also drawn to these waters. Make plans to add the Camp Tomahawk Two-Mile Tube Float to their list of favorite river experiences. Only 20 miles from Silver Dollar City and 30 miles from Branson, Missouri, Camp Tomahawk offers the opportunity to take in popular shows, thrilling rides, abundant shopping and the wonders of nature in the same trip. Start a new tradition. Make your Camp Tomahawk Two Mile Float Trip today.

Camp Tomahawk rocks! Three mom’s seven kids ages 5 thru 13 loved every minute of the float…both times we did it! Everyone working was super friendly. Our bus driver, Robert was a great bus driver and very informative. He is a super cool guy! This float would be great for any age. We are already making plans to return soon.
