Say Hello to January! Winter is always an astonishing sight to see at Huzzah Valley, seeing snowflakes sprinkled over campsites and before you know it the ground will be completely covered.
We are getting ready for 2012!! This is going to be an exciting year at Huzzah Valley. Be sure to check out our Calendar of Events on our website at www.huzzahvalley.com. New in 2012 is some more lodging, per your request. Here is a picture of the start of the new lodging unit.



2012 will hold a new summer season, but you don't have to wait until then, we are open all year round. I know you think it's cold outside but you know what, we have heated cabins and frost free RV hookups. So there is no reason not to get out of the house. Give us a call and come on down.

We've seen some eagles but haven't been able to get any pictures of them, hopefully soon.

Fall is among us!

Fall is here and soon winter will be too!! Being here at Huzzah Valley during fall is just so breathtaking. The leaves on the trees are so beautiful. If you haven’t been camping during the fall season, you don’t know what you are missing. Huzzah Valley is the best place to camp during fall or any time of the year. Here are a few pictures taken at Huzzah Valley during fall.

Horseback riding during fall is a must. If you have never been riding during fall, give us a call. We don’t want you to miss out on this beautiful experience between you and nature.

Winter will be here before long. Remember we do have cabins and frost free hydrants, so don’t let the weather keep you at home this winter. Give us a call and make your reservation now.

Christmas is also just right around the corner. If you have that hard to buy for person, get them a Gift Certificate from Huzzah Valley. Gift Certificates make the perfect gift, they can use it towards anything here at Huzzah Valley.

Summer Isn't Over!

It's been a while fellow bloggers, but don't fret Huzzah Valley is still here and still your number one complete family resort. This summer has been a great one to us, and it's still not over! August has just begun and with it comes the blistering heat. For some it's a time to hide indoors where the air conditioner is on high, but for others it's a perfect chance to go floating down the Huzzah.
Although you would think that the heat would turn away a lot of people, you'd be surprised. For the past three weekends we've be booked with exciting and content campers. Our next couple of weekends is filling up, but we still have availability.
For floating, our river is low, but that comes with the three weeks of heat. However that aspect shouldn't turn you away. Our pristine waters are perfect for friends and family, to come and have an awesome time. Right now our 2 or 3 mile tube trip is superb and absolute for the dog days of summer.

And after your sublime floating experience you can come to our Country store to cool down and order one of our Hunts Brother's pizza, with toppings of your choice or our new Southern or Hot & Spicy wings.
With school rapidly approaching and the time for work coming upon us, why not spend you're final days with us at Huzzah Valley. We have packages that fit your wants and a wonderful river that soothes your needs. To find out more details visit or vividly crafted website at www.huzzahvalley.com. Or send us an email at vacation@huzzahvalley.com or give us a call at 1-800-367-4516 to speak with one of our representatives.
Stay cool out there folks!

In full swing

April showers bring May flowers...or at least that is how the saying goes. With the plentiful spring showers we have been blessed with this April, we are really hoping that we will have large amounts of May flowers. The rain has finally let up and we would like to make sure that everyone knows that our waters are in great condition to float. We would also like to let everyone know that with any large amount of water our waters do have a tendency to rise, but as quick as our water rises, it lowers. The Huzzah River is also the clearest river around, after a big rain the Huzzah is back to crystal clear in no time. With the waters being up in the early spring, rafts are able to float sections of the river not available to float in the late summer. Rafts are also famous for not tipping, so that is something that a lot of people enjoy in the spring, simply because the water is a little bit colder then it is in the summer. Kayaks are perfect and easy way to maneuver through the water. Our website has a link to USGS water levels, showing real time data of the Huzzah River. Rain or shine Huzzah Valley Resort is open.

We would like to thank Everyone who was able to make it to our opening weekend celebration a few weeks ago. The weather did not want to cooperate as nice as we would have liked but we all had a great time. Everyone seemed as though they had a blast.

The kids played in the bounce house, rode horses, painted a canoe, and played games to win prizes. The Beverly's Hillbillies entertained the crowd for hours with their blue grass music.

The season is officially in full swing. The store is being stocked, the reservations are being made, and it is just a matter of time before the sun will be here warming up the waters. This year we are trying something new...we are having several summer special events through out the summer. We are also having several BBQ competitions through out the summer as well. Make sure to check out our current events on our website and facebook for more details regarding these events.

Spring is finally here..hopefully to stay

Winter just is not wanting to let go...
but...that is not an option!! The weather will be warmer before we know it.

Cabin Fever!

January has come and gone! The snow has been falling, and falling, and falling!!! We have reached over 30 inches of snow this winter so far and unfortunately the winter is not over yet...However Groundhog day has arrived. "The Famous ground hog usually foresees six more weeks of winter, but the Punxsutawney Phil 2011 prediction is for early spring according to csmonitor.com. Hopefully this brings celebration! Cabin fever has set in!
In order to break the monotony we had some courageous individuals tough out the Blizzard of 2011 and even enjoyed a round of golf.
This weekend will be the same, another bunch of guys are braving out the bitter cold for their annual winter float.
Here is the winner of our recent Photo Contest. We are always looking for new and exciting (but clean) photos to help spread the word of the fun to be had in the valley. The sun is starting to shine and melt the snow away, which means more campers down in the Valley. We are verging on spring weather with the high in the 60s this weekend. Call in to make your reservations for the Summer. The early bird gets the worm...the earlier you call, the more likely you are going to get exactly what you want...We look forward to hearing from you soon!
