    This is the worst thing I have ever experienced. If I could have given 0 stars I would have. The…read moreconoes were teaming with spiders and everyone was freaking out. Plus they looked like they had not been cleaned out in eons. If this was free it would still cost way too much. If you are thinking about doing this please go and do something sensible with your life.

    Our group of four did the 4 hour 11:00 AM in 2 two-person kayak on a beautiful sunny day. We all…read morehave kayaked many times over the years, but never the Dowajiac River. Contrary to the first review, The guys working there were friendly and offered good advice (even when we asked about some other kayak venues around the state) The business site is rustic but loaded with fine river worthy kayaks (and canoes). We drove our truck out to the 4 hour destination and they happily drove us back (for a reasonable fee). We took a cooler full of drinks and granola bars. and I brought my phone to take photos. The river was moving a day after some heavy rain, but the sun was shining. The river is narrow and somewhat winding and offered plenty of overturned trees and obstacles made the ride fun to navigate, but no rapids or danger. I recommend kayaks, the guys we saw in canoes were struggling to maneuver at times, but it's totally fine either way. This would not be a fun river to go tubing as you'd be stuck in branches, muck, spiderwebs constantly. The trees overhang the river with sun bleeding through to provide a beautiful aesthetic. The ride was shady enough that I didn't require sunscreen. I didn't have any issues with mosquitoes either. The banks were very mucky and almost always too steep to get out and walk, plus I think most of the river was off privately owned farm land.. It made for some advanced impromptu riverbank bathroom breaks due to the beverages, but that's all part of the fun, right? There was a nice grassy spot on the final quarter of the ride near an overpass that we saw people having a picnic. We saw a muskrat, king fisher, large river frogs, and several species of turtles. We passed a few friendly people on our ride (it was Sunday of labor day weekend), but it was mostly desolate and quiet. Our moment of excitement came when we approached a nearly impassable part with a couple of fallen trees. Our kayak was temporarily hung up but our friends didn't have time to avoid us and they tipped/submerged their boat and ours tipped and sunk in the reaction. It was about 3 feet of water, the current was strong but not overpowering. I somehow miraculously kept my phone above water while the rest of my body was dumped in. We also somehow recovered the life jackets/paddles/boats/cooler/car keys. All we lost was a coozie, pair of sunglasses, a t-shirt, and our pride. After our refreshing dip, we tipped the water out of the boats and were back on the river in no time. Our exit location was easy to find by a well marked overpass. We had a great time, a very nice afternoon well spent.

    Had my camper here for just under a year, it is very poorly managed. Trash everywhere all the…read moretime,septic constantly full and over flowing, people speeding around kids, playing loud music, fighting,cops are there few times a week for disturbances.my second day there was asked if i wanted to smoke meth..bathrooms constantly vandalized by same people that live there. Owners allowed people next to me to continue to mess with my electric plug on camper which ended up costing alot.. nothing done or said about it, my vehicle has had mud rubbed down side with nothing done about it, trash blowing around nothing done about it. Dogs are constantly loose and most are aggressive also nothing done about that either.. the owner mike is a nice guy but if his wife decides she does not like you for whatever reason your going to be treated poorly. If your not into drugs and chaos i would NEVER recommend this place until you see a under new owner sign. This is not a campground or even anything close to it. It is worse than the worse trailer park in your area. The location is fantastic unfortunately is being wasted

    I brought some Chicago visitors to this campground. I'd gone tubing in Montana and wasn't sure what…read moreto expect in Michigan. But I was pleasantly surprised! The people working there were very nice and upfront about the do's and don'ts and what to expect. They warned us the river was low and there were some large branches that had fallen down onto the river. We found it was a relaxing, scenic, and though at times required paddling to avoid branches, it was a wonderful time just lazily floating down the river. At the end of the trip they showed where to use the showers and hoses in case we wanted to clean up. I'd give this place 5 stars but they have to work on removing the trees that block the entire width of the river bc it's a pain trying to climb over them. I'll be coming back with more visitors!

    Awesome time today!…read more I love that they handle large groups with ease and how friendly their staff is. We had a small hiccup with our group (a few tipped over) and they were very helpful with shuttling the ones that wanted to cut out early. I haven't peaked at their little "convenience store" for forgotten items so maybe it's already there but I would suggest adding tiny bungee cords. Someone brought two and it saved someone's bag when their kayak flipped. You guys run an awesome business. I don't understand what the poor reviews are about. This is the 2nd time I've rented with them and they've been great. We will be back..maybe to try out floatin'.

    How freaking fun!!! Came here with my hubby, kids and friends. We had the best time ever. You park…read moreand they drive you down to the beginning. You tube all the way back to the place. It's a pretty cool set up. You get the choice of a tube with no bottom, or a tube with a bottom. They all have head rests which is super dope! They also have long tubes for your coolers, yep your very own cooler. Beer, liquor, pop, snacks galore!!! It's very relaxing, like a little lazy river. Beautiful sky view. My kids had the absolute best time and can't stop talking about it!! We are already wanting to go back. The actual business where you start out at has changing rooms, the spot to rent your tubes, and other accessories. Things to clip on your glasses so you don't loose them and more. I can't wait to go back!!!
