The Float Troy experience:

Our tents are Shoal floating tents. A first of its kind, the Shoal tent is an inflatable, floating raft with a tent topper that allows you to sleep out on the water. These tents were designed right here in Miami County by local company Smithfly!

Your tent comes inflated, anchored, and ready to use. For information on the check-in process, check out the video to the right!

 

Our tents are located at Treasure Island Park.

This historic area along the levee of the Great Miami River is the perfect place for recreation. The paved trails are perfect for biking and running.
