Love floating and Missouri has some great places. Um here are some that I have been to:
Huzzah river is nice there is a place there called the Zoo yep not family friendly ask for the party side quiet hours start at 2am but, um nobody pays any attention to that. You will always find college age people down there and there is always a party. Pretty good place sometimes the river can get a little low. Campground is wonderful!
You can also go to the Ozark Outdoor River Resort
http://ozarkoutdoors.net
Now they have a family side and a party side (which of course is away from the families) be sure to ask for the party side and tell them you all plan to party. You will float on the Merimac River. Good river always have a great time on it. Moves pretty good. The campgroud is great and there is a lot that they offer.
I would also recommend going on the Current River nice smooth ride. There are several campsite in the area, I haven't really stayed at too many of them but there are some websites below. Have a wonderful time!
