I would not recommend this place for tent campers looking for a quiet and relaxing space it's much more geared towards partying. The campground includes tubing or kayaking on the river which is a fun time for those looking to party. The rifle river is not the best when water levels are low very rocky. The tubes provided by the campground are pretty dirty and under inflated for the cost. I'd say if you plan on a weekend of partying and drinking this place is good but wouldn't recommend for families or those looking to unwind in nature.

Hiya folks! If you're reading this review I can make a few guesses about you that may or may not be…read moreaccurate: 1. You are looking for a place to rent a kayak. 2. You don't own your own kayak. 3. You're probably not familiar with the waterways in and around Western Michigan. 4. You're reading reviews looking for something that really speaks to you. Friend, you've found the right review for YOU! My wife, 17-year-old son and I traveled up to Grand Haven on a whim this week, never having been here before but with the specific intent of trying out kayaking. Now, I have Kayaked before...I was about 12...so 36 years ago. My city-raised son and land-locked wife had never done such a thing in their lives. So, we started looking. After reading the reviews of a few places, I was attracted to Guys for a couple of reasons: 1. I'm a sucker for a story about a guy retiring from a life and retail and opening a kayak business on the rivers he loves. 2. Another review mentioned he had a kayak that fit a large person (I am one such person). 3. He specifically mentioned river kayaking...which is perfect for a newbie who isn't experienced keeping themselves moving. After all, if you get tired of paddling, you can just let the river take you where it will. Guy runs the business out of his house, but you'll never go in...you don't need to. We met in the yard, I PayPal'd him our fee (only $25 each) and we got back in our van to follow him to the landing spot...where we left our vehicle, climbed in his van, and he took us to the launch up river. Guy knows this town, but he really knows these rivers. We got a full briefing on what to expect, how to use the equipment, how long it should take --"the river's running about 4.5mph right now...it was 6mph last week...so it'll be a longer trip unless you really paddle". He then made sure we had a dry-box for a phone and wallet (just in case) and offered my son a ball cap since he forgot his and made sure my bald head had sunscreen, which I had forgotten. Then he launched us and away we went. The trip downstream was about 2 hours, and 15 minutes in my tech-geek son-sans-cell-phone says "We really need to do this more often" the trip was already worth it. The rest of the trip downstream was idylic and so much fun. When we got to the end (Guy put out a sign for us to land), Guy himself was there and taking photos for us. He helped us out of the boats (which I needed after two hours) and we got in our van and left. Guy has made this trip worthwhile on his own with his service and hospitality, and my family had a fantastic time. I can not recommend him and his business enough! Thank's Guy!!!

Crystal Lake is an all-sports spring-fed lake in the Township of Crystal, Michigan, near Carson…read moreCity. It is 724 acres in size and 70 feet deep at the deepest point. It is approximately eight miles around by walking or driving. Our daughter-in-law's parents have invited us often to join them at their cottage on Crystal Lake. It is great for boating, kayaking, water skiing, jet skiing, swimming, fishing, and more. Sometimes it gets almost too busy but early mornings are always calm and the best time to sit out and enjoy a cup of coffee. Over the years we have had fierce debates over whether there are actually fish in the lake but some fish have been pulled out once in a while...sometimes even keepers! It is only about an hour from Lansing and two hours from Detroit; a relatively short drive compared to the similar lakes much farther up north. Now back to my nothing box (google it) to stare at the lake.

We have never been paddle boarding before but have always wanted to try it. Kelly was so kind and patient when we initially inquired about the rental process. When we decided to go ahead and take the plunge and just do it making the appointment was very simple. The website was user friendly and easy to navigate. We showed up for our appointment and she had everything ready to go. She made sure that our life jackets were on properly and did not skip a single step. Her instructions and demonstrations on how to actually use the paddle board were easy to follow and very thorough. She also made sure that we were comfortable with our paddle boards before leaving. Out on the lake we got to see SO much wildlife, it was nothing like being in a motorized boat that's for sure. I have never considered myself athletic by any means and am far from being in shape but thanks to the equipment she provided as well as amazing instructions and answering all of my questions I can say I mastered the paddle board in no time! It was for sure the highlight of our vacation! Thank you Kelly and Lakeshore Water Sports!!!
