We are coming together for a full moon float trip and gathering on Monday, June 29. There will be a bonfire and picnic tables right by the beach where the float trip starts on the property next to the camping area and bathrooms. The float trip is around 3 miles long and will start at 11 pm and will last around 2 hours. We will start on the beach at Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat and then float to the other side of the property. The float trip is on the Big Niangua River. You are welcome to bring your own boats to join the float for the $20 per person admission fee which includes camping. You can also reserve and rent kayaks or canoes from the campground. Bring glow sticks and/or battery powered rope lights (waterproof) to decorate your boat for the nighttime float. There will be a bonfire from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm in the area next to the beach. There will also be a bonfire at the end of the float trip on the other side of the property. Tent camping space is first come first serve so there is no need to reserve ahead of time. Full RV sites and Electric sites are available and can be reserved ahead of time on the ticket link.
-------------------------------
NOTES :
The campground is 300 acres and has a clean shower house and flush toilets by the beach. There is also a general store and office when you pull into the campground. Everyone must check in upon arrival to get a wristband and car tag.
You can reserve and pay for your boat rentals at the ticket link where it says “buy tickets.” We always run out of boats during this event so please reserve and pay for your boats ahead of time.
You can pay for your admission ahead of time at the ticket link or you can pay at the office when you arrive.
You can also rent an RV site at this ticket link. Just click the button that says “Buy Tickets.”
Tubes are not allowed to go on these nighttime float trips. You must either bring a kayak or canoe of your own or rent one from the campground to go on this float trip.
It is advised to show up for the event by 7 pm or before. This gives you plenty of time to prepare for the float trip and camping. It is best to show up early.
The full moon floats and gatherings are designed as an adult activity and for experienced floaters. We suggest not bringing young children or first time floaters.
We strongly suggest you do not take your car keys and wallets and phones on the float trip.

FULL MOON INFO :
June’s Full Moon is the first full moon of summer and has traditionally been called the Strawberry Moon. While strawberries certainly are a reddish-pink color and are roundish in shape, the origin of the name “Strawberry Moon” has nothing to do with the Moon’s hue or appearance, despite the evocative imagery (as shown in the graphic for this event.) A Moon usually appears reddish when it’s close to the horizon because the light rays must pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere.
STRAWBERRY MOON
This “Strawberry Moon” name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. The Haida term Berries Ripen Moon reflects this as well. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many.
Alternative June Moon Names
Over time, many cultures have used different names for the 12 Full moons experienced each year. Usually, they’re not based on color but on a common activity that takes place at that time of year.
Blooming Moon (Anishinaabe) is indicative of the flowering season, while Green Corn Moon (Cherokee) and Hoer Moon (Western Abenaki) suggest that it’s time to tend to young crops.
Other names highlight that this is a time of new life: The Tlingit have used the term Birth Moon, referring to the time when certain animals are born in their region (the Pacific Northwest). Egg Laying Moon and Hatching Moon are Cree terms that also hint at a time when many animal babies were born.
Alternative European names for this Moon include the Honey Moon and the Mead Moon. June was traditionally the month of marriage and is even named after the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. Following marriage comes the “honeymoon,” which may be tied to this alternative Moon name!
-------------------------------
CLARIFICATION :
We need to make this following statement for clarification because occasionally there has been slight confusion in the past.
Everyone coming to this event pays $20 per person admission fee. Everyone. This is even if the person chooses to not camp or float. Again this fee is per person (NOT per carload.) This charge is an admission fee to come on the property to enjoy the river and beach and bonfires and social activities and for optional tent camping. There is no additional fee on top of the $20 if you bring your own boats for the float trip. There is an additional fee if you choose to also rent a boat from the campground - in other words you still pay the admission fee per person and then an additional fee to rent the boat (sometimes people think they get free admission if they rent a boat - which is not the case.) This is also the same for those people that also want to rent an RV site or electric site for the evening - it is an additional charge on top of the admission fee (sometimes some people think they get free admission if they rent an RV site - which is not the case.) One more time just to clarify : everyone pays $20 admission per person to get on to the property (sometimes some people come in the campground office and insist they don’t have to pay admission because they are just “visiting” a friend camping on the property for the event - this is not allowed just like at most other campgrounds.) Please keep in mind that Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat is a privately owned commercial campground business. It is a vacation & recreation destination. It is NOT a trailer park and NOT a publicly funded state park. We like to create events that bring people together for fun and good vibes on a beautiful piece of property. We like to have fun but we are also a business with a lot of overhead costs. We really need everyone to gladly chip in a few bucks to make it all happen. This event takes a lot of work and staff so please gladly pay the fees so we can keep doing these events. Please think about what you can do to contribute energy and love to the event.
