We decided to check out Paul's place because it was fairly close and he was so friendly on the phone when I called for more specific info. It's definitely a laid back and rustic environment but I was all in. Paul takes care of his customers and he was very adamant in teaching us the rules of the river before letting us launch. I had $60 in cash and he would only take $40 even thought the price was listed as $50. It's a great deal for you to kayak, paddle board and tube on the gorgeous river. We had it basically to ourselves that day and it was a revelation. The only thing I'd say is there needs to be upgrades to the life jackets. Most of them were child sized. However, all of the other equipment was well maintained. Please go and support this business!

I tell ya one thing right now their frozen skip jack head is literally the best frozen skip jack…read morehead cut bait I've ever had the chance to fish. Jon the manager seemed to know the ins and outs of different kinds of cut bait and he learned me a fishin tellin to em thang or 2 bout some dang cut bait. It blew my mind. Then i got in a tube and floated all the way down to berry's campground and it was frickin awesome but then I started to panic! I realized that I had left my vehicle all the way at the Bypass Sales store. There's no dang way i can walk all the way back up there with a tube. I was defeated....i was lost....i felt hopeless. So i sat on the beaches of Berry's Campground hopeless with only the skip jack head I had just purchased from the store thawing at my waiste. It began to smell ripe and it cheered me up a great deal. I knew the kind of fish i could catch with this kinda bait let me tell ya....as all hope was lost i then looked upon the driveway that people drive into to get to the campground. A white van started to approach me and upon this van there was a sign. "SHUTTLE SERVICE BERRY'S CAMPGROUND" with its dark tinted windows my heart began to sink. The van pulls up right beside me and the door slowly opens. What happens next is awesome!!!! A man steps out. He looks like he is a dressed for summer and is having himself a damn good time with a smile on his face and the most fly sandals i've ever seen in my life and his shorts the neon green was something of the gods. The man spoke to me, it was like heaven to my ears a choir of long forgotten gods. "Hey brother name's Mark do ya need a lift?" At first I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This couldn't be true. I couldn't speak, but somehow it's like Mark understood my problem. "It's ok buddy just hop on in we'll get ya to your car." I just walked on my own I didn't instruct myself to do it it's as if his calming demeanor made my legs move on their own. I knew that i would be safe. I then watched him in admiration loading up my tube and life jacket. He meant bussiness. Then in a instant before i inhaled my 3rd breath to a full exhale I was already standing by my car right down back at the Bypass and as I looked up the road I could only see traces of the white van up the road in the distance. Jon the manager then approached me outside. He asked me if I had fun. Fun? I said to him. I feel like I was a part of an episode of Touched by an Angel. Jon understand stood and he smiled. What a incredible day!!! 25 bucks and 10 dollars for the skip jack head.....can't top it period. Shuttle Driver Mark i'll never forget you dude!!!! GOD BLESS THE BYPASS!!!!

Wow wow wow. We tend to be a little bougie with our accommodations so we were going out on a limb…read moreduring our trip to West Virginia. Partly because there were no four seasons in the area (mostly joking) but also because we were in WeSt vIrGiNiA and wanted to get in touch with NaTuRe we decided to go outside of our cocmfort zone and picked some closer to nature options. This was the second. We went with Kaymoor at Adventures on the Gorge. Thjey have the full scale between literal camping and hotel-like, I believe we chose the most hotel-like option. I wanted to do the glamping but there were none available about a month before our trip when I finally got my shit together to book shit. Check in was super easy. We were given a key and a treasure map of how to get to our "cabin" which was easy to drive to. It is a legit cabin in the woods but will all amenities one would expect staying in the a hotel. Great bathroom and shower with a ton of towels, bedroom and separate lounge room that included a mini fridge. TV, wifi, climate control. There was even a cute little porch with chairs in the literal woods. It is so cool. AC worked great. The shower was great. They provided more towels than I'm used to getting at hotels. The bed was SUPER COMFY. I literally don't have enough good things to say about this place. Such a good choice.

They even gave us snacks halfway through! We also zip lined with Adventures on the Gorge, and all of their employees are just so humorous and you can tell they love their jobs. 10/10 experience!!

AMAZING TIME and I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting that wants to float on the river…read more Now, you float for about an hour and then they pick u up and take u back to the beginning where u can do it all over again.

Great setup if you're interested in tubing without all the hassle that other tubing businesses…read morerequire such as safety classes or life jackets, etc. $ cash to park, but accepts credit cards/debit cards to pay for tubing. Reasonable prices to tube and they offer a tube for cooler's. They have a small store where you can buy soda's, ice cream, and snacks. You can leave your cooler at the landing spot and they have grills set up there where they'll provide the charcoal and light the grill for you. Park, pay the tubing fee, take your receipt to pick up your tube's. They'll hold your driver's license and you can hang your keys at the gate. The River is clean and clear! It can take a good hour to get down to the landing spot or you can hang out in the river and relax. There's two landing spots. The first one is before the small rapids and that's where the grills are located. The second landing is shortly after the rapids. If you get out after the rapids you'll have to walk a short distance to the first landing where you can enjoy a picnic or grill out before boarding the buses to return to home base. Staff are professional and friendly! There's two bathrooms and a shower at home base where you can cleanup or change clothes. I've been three times and I've enjoyed each time. When the River is low the water depth is up to your knee in most place's and can go up to your waist in a few places. The depth of the River after the rapids is what I'd say requires swimming in some areas. If you can't swim or aren't wearing a life jacket I wouldn't go down the rapids. Their season goes until the end of September and during September they're only open on the weekends. They open at 10:00 a.m.
