Extremely well-maintained and clean. This time one of my guests (I won't name names) lowered one of the boat's anchors, and it came untied. It sank to the bottom of the lake and we couldn't retrieve it. We were a little worried that we'd have to pay for it, but the staff at Beachside was extremely understanding and cool about it. Will definitely rent from Beachside again!

The outfitters are very nice and friendly it seemed like they really cared about your experience. The setting is beautiful and there is a farmers market, live music and tap house right there that you can enjoy. It's very popular and there were lines to get in. It was also very dog friendly. Overall a great experience, we are glad we did it and the kids had fun too!

Unbelievable experience all around…read more The owner/operator is an incredibly nice and accommodating guy. We had a group of 10, I accidentally booked 5 kayaks instead of canoes. Day of, the owner doesn't flinch at my mistake. He quickly corrected where I dropped the ball and it didn't seem to interrupt his operation. The Sugar river is a blast. Smaller and more technical than the nearby Wisconsin River. PLUS! There's some killer breweries, tacos, cocktail bars, & a live music venue to welcome you back once you're off the river. 100% would recommend and will most certainly use Sugar River Outfitters again.

You can make your reservation and pay online to speed up the process. There's a parking lot, although parking can get full quickly. The only thing I didn't like much is they didn't give us instructions or tips prior to sending us off. Fortunately, I have experience kayaking and didn't need instruction, but something to consider if you've not done this before.

We had a reservation for this weekend and were SADLY disappointed. I try to give everyone the…read morebenefit of doubt however after two failed sites we left and went somewhere else. The first site that we originally purchased the electricity hook up was on a pole on the front of the campsite and our 25' cord wouldn't even come close to it. Also the water hookup was two sites over. I tried calling several times and no one answered so we had to drive our camper back up to store. We were then given a site back down where we originally were just 5 sites down. We drove back to where we came from and you can't read any of the markers because everything is so overgrown. After figuring it out some was already on that site all set up. We went back to the store and and told them we weren't staying...they obviously did not care. Pretty said because what you pay for is not worth it.

TLDR: The loaded too few tubes on the shuttle but would not give us a refund…read more We paid for 12 people to go tubing. The lady in the office picked up her walky talky and said, party of 12. Then realized we had 3 more and paid for them. The lady in the office picked up her radio and said, 3 more for that big party. We loaded up and they shuttled us to the start. There were 13 tubes! (Not sure why 13 instead of 12.) The driver said I never got any message about 3 more people (which was not true). He said our kids would have to ride in the cooler tubes (even though the coolers were there) and we could talk to the office at the end. Now the first mistake, the wrong number of tubes, it's fine, mistakes happen. The second mistake, refusing to fix it was annoying. We tubed. It was less than ideal for the kids, but ok. Finished and went to the office. It was closed and locked. Rang bell, waited, rang bell, waited, etc. No answer. (Third mistake) Called next day. Asked for a refund for the tubes we paid for and did not get. The person on the phone kind of scolded me for not dealing with it right away, which felt ridiculous. (Fourth mistake). She said she would check with her boss and call back. Couple days pass, she did not call back. (Fifth mistake). Emailed. No response. (Final mistake). Overall, tubing was ok. Customer service was bad.
