One of the last of a breed of ramshackle rafting communities, Rancho Del Rio is a river rat’s paradise, a place where you can paddle all day and party all night, then sleep in your car in the parking lot. A half-dozen operations offer guided rafting trips, and the Colorado River Center offers guided kayaking excursions as well as rentals of all kinds. Shuttles are available to pick you up and carry you and your craft back to Rancho, where you can meditate over your amazing day on the river over a cold beer and a burger at K.K.’s BBQ, aptly known as "The Center of the Universe."
