So we only recently got BCF stores in SA, even though they have been in QLD for some time now. And…read moreI must say it didn't take me long to become a fan. I used to go to the one at Richmond but having one open at Noarlunga now is even better. I tend to use their online store to find what I want. Plus I can check store availability online as well. Then I will go to the store knowing what I want and how much it should cost. Although I did do this one day and ended up browsing their entire camping section for about an hour and comeing home with about an extra $50 worth of stuff I hadn't planned on buying! This is why I need lists and direction people!!!! I've also managed to find some harder to find items here like massive crab and prawn cookers. Never had an issue getting the stuff I find online in a store of theirs either, which I prefer to go to an actual store anyway and have a receipt and somewhere to go back to. And in case you live under a rock BCF stands for Boating, Camping and Fishing. They have all realted merchandise and equipment for such activities, even down to the fishing bait you can buy from their store.

We were so impressed by the service we received when we went to BCF Noarlunga last week. We were…read more looking at camping fridges, in particular the Waeco brand. We were served by the manager Brendon, who could not have been more helpful. He did a terrific deal for us on an ex display fridge and got all the necessary bits together to get it up and running. He carried it out to our car to check it was working satisfactorily too before the purchase. No pressure at all. We were very happy, however when we did a little research at home, it turned out that particular fridge didn't meet all of the specifications we were originally looking for. We rather sheepishly returned to the store today to ask if it was possible to return the fridge (we hadn't used it) and again Brendon put us at ease ( we felt uncomfortable as he had looked after us so well and it was such a good price) and he happily refunded our money and let us know about lay buy options and special offer catalogues so we can eventually get the fridge of our choice. Fantastic customer service, friendly professional staff and an amazing store with everything you could ever imagine for boating camping and fishing needs! I highly recommend a visit to BCF Noarlunga.

This is a tiny store and it's packed with stuff which makes it seem even smaller…read more With that being said they still have some good stuff here sometimes and if I can't be bothered going somewhere bigger like BCF I will just drop in here. They have some great clearance specials, especially on shoes if they happen to be in your size. Even when not on special though their hiking boots are pretty good. I have only purchased smaller items here, mainly camping items for when my partner and kids go away. Service has always been fine but then I have never needed much other than to pay for what I wanted to buy. At least the salesman just sits behind the counter and helps if you ask, not follows you around the store like a hawk as they do in some other stores.

Had to get a camping stretcher and luckily they were on special here. The staff are friendly and…read morehelpful. They had sold out of the one I wanted, so I was offered an alternative, which was fine. While this is a small store they stock quality items and often at a cheaper price than the bigger stores. It is well located in Colonnades and is well stocked.

Or you too can be Rambo, be whoever you want to be, stalking the enemy, hiding in bushes (unless you're afraid of spiders!), taking the fort from the opposition, gaining the high ground and lie flat on the ground exhausted from climbing and running around. Sure beats being a couch potato exercising the thumbs, TWC is like being in the game, even sounds like a Xbox or PlayStation game title, maybe it is, whatever...it's awesome fun. We've been here three times already and going back again for a kids birthday in December, can't wait to get the camo gear on and run amuck. It suits anyone without a heart condition as sessions are from 1.5 - 2.5 or 3.0 hours and they close if the Mt Lofty weather zone forecast is 35c due to bush fire risk. They insist players wear long pants and enclosed shoes as the area is bush land, don't want any nasty surprises or accidents. In the past we've always had Chris talk us through the preliminary stuff like safety and a weapon run down in a military fashion but oh so hilarious and comical, everyone has a laugh. The weapons: are impressive to say the least! Rifles, semi autos, autos, brings a whole new meaning to 'choose your weapon'. Kids will of course want something twice the size of them but unless they've the strength of an ant, it ain't gonna happen kids. Based on the real McCoy, they have 'bullet whizzing past your head' sound effects and an endless supply of laser ammo for the duration of the game. Rules apply when to shoot, especially when you give the sign you're just walking over to the safe area for a recharge - but it's irresistible shooting someone in the open...score! Need I say more...phone, book, go!

Ray's Outdoors sells everything you could possibly imagine when it comes to outdoor equipment…read more They have camping gear, fishing gear, boating gear, lighting and power, furniture, BBQs, clothing, footwear and so much more. It's almost overwhelming walking into the store because there's just too much variety. Of course that's not a bad thing, but for someone who doesn't know there way around outdoor equipment it can definitely feel that way. Everything is discounted in store, and trust me there's plenty to choose from. So much stock! If you're after anything involving the outdoors, I would highly recommend visiting the outlet store of Ray's Outdoors. You won't regret it.

12/1/2012 Photos The way I feel when I walk into Scout…read moreOutdoor Centre is probably the way famous New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary felt just before he became one of the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest: "A few more whacks of the ice axe in the firm snow, and we stood on top." In other words, the longer I spent in this shop, the more I understood what tools were necessary. Yet, unlike Sir Hillary, I've only done rockclimbing once, and that was way back in high school. And that was only indoors, and I was terrified when I nearly reached the top. I need to conquer more of my life fears. So if I'm crazy enough to ever decide to try rockclimbing again, I have to make sure I come back to this store - I must purchase the necessary harness and specialised rockclimbing. I don't think I'm that great at rockclimbing, though that was only one attempt. I'm a bit older and stronger now, so maybe with the right coach, training, and a little bit more money, I might just succeed on my second try. My rockclimbing days are unfortunately on hold for the meantime... If my next girlfriend is an adventure addict, I might be in trouble LOL. If and only if that happens - I'm sprinting back here. Anyway, after walking around, I was really attracted to the $299 travel backpacks on the back wall. Seems a bit pricey for me and looks a bit heavy to carry, but the friendly saleslady highly recommended it for anyone that was going to travel overseas e.g, Europe. What I really loved most about this sales staff here is that they approach you and talk to you, and they told me before I left, "Travelling overseas to Europe is really easy. Just get your visa and go there. This is, hands down, the best store in Adelaide for rockclimbing gear. We have everything you need.". Looks like my next travels just wouldn't be complete without this cool new backpacks!

Both kids tried cubs, so we came in and got all the gear they needed - then a trip back for blankets so they could go camp, and there was somewhere to put all the badges they started getting - only one make the jump into Scouts (we still have them both, we didn't lose one on a hike or anything, she just decided scouting wasn't her thing) but there was yet another trip in for a shiny new uniform, and a sleeping bag, too. In all our visits, we've found the staff to be very friendly, and extremely helpful. They even gave the girls a few badges to help their new blankets along, which won them friends for life :) Parking is my big bugbear here - and it's not their fault the city's a pain to park in. My recommendation is the Target u-park - sure, you have to pay, but it's worth it in the whole not having to circle the block whilst swearing never again thing.
