They provide life jackets, paddles, canoes, kayaks, tubes, and multiple different sizes of rafts, along with a map of where to go and finish and a driver to pick you up after your trip. The ride itself was very relaxing, there wasn't a person on the river while I was rafting. The wildlife and nature was beautiful, herons, geese, ducks, and turtles. The price was very reasonable, $120 for a 4 person raft for 3hrs, with a driver included to pick you and the raft up. I will definitely be back to go rafting again, it's a great option for those who don't like to get wet in the river, or for chillier days!

We were greeted with the utmost respect from the second we called, to pulling into the parking lot, getting help onto the river, and getting off. It was one of the prettiest parts of the river that we have seen, very wide open. Pulling into the campground from the river, allowed us to experience their adorable establishment. I truly can't wait to go back and camp next time. I won't say any names but we tried the same experience the day before at a close establishment. It was horrible, a long walk with no help, cash only, and a $80.00 cash deposit. The owner was very disrespectful also.

When a customer asked a worker about the wait her response was "we were busy". However, their competition was able to pick customers up in a timely manner.

The driver was clearly angry and I feel that this effected her driving. After exiting the bus they were short and rude to all other customers as well. I would avoid this place at all costs.

Two of our people fell down this embankment trying get to the river. They need to check the river before sending people out on it. A little customer service can go a long way.

It gets packed often because of the location to Lansing and Saginaw. During July, you really need to RSVP early. We have been here a few times. You can have kids, but in some areas it's deep. I came here one time and lost my shoe and iPhone because we got stuck on a rock. Watch out for big rocks and low water levels. These two combinations can make your canoe stuck. Highly Recommended

I can't speak to the reservation process, as we had a friend who handled that, but the experience from check in to the end was great. I browsed the website beforehand and appreciated the super detailed and helpful FAQ and information. I'd never kayaked or canoed on a river before, so I didn't really know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. You can bring food and drinks for your trip, and they sell water, ice, and small snacks. You can also buy water shoes (helpful for tubing) and koozies that you can hang around your neck (which would have been useful for kayaking). Once we were all checked in, we loaded up in the bus and they drove us to the starting point where our kayaks and canoes were waiting. The trip was mostly leisurely (a tandem kayak experience may be a test of some relationships, haha) and we saw tons of wildlife: green herons, great blue herons, turtles, and three bald eagles! It wasn't too busy or crowded on the river, which was nice. It was $66 for the double kayak rental, which includes paddles, life jackets/cushions, and transportation to the entry point. You can also bring your own kayak or canoe and they'll transport it for a charge. Fishing boats, tubes, and rafts are also available to rent. A fun summer activity!

Water/electric hookups tend to be on opposite sides or different locations on all sites. Campground is more suitable for larger groups rather than a leisure family weekend stay. Beach area is clean for a private lake, yet it is a small area. Hard to tell if the slides are free for campers or have to pay. Lack and miscommunication within the campground and its employees is a disappointment while confusing. Odd hours of camp store and campground office. Closest store off of grounds is about 10-15mins away heading towards Big Rapids 131 on ramp. Review: Experienced campers with travel trailer. Decided to stay here after hearing about the positive experiences our church groups have had on recent trips. I would like to point out that we were camping as a small family stay and not part of any church or summer camp group. Our reservation for a water electric site (a fri-mon stay) was placed a few wks in advance. The original site they reserved for us was on the Bayview side and not accommodating for a reg 30ft travel trailer. The electrical outlet was placed right next to the fire pit along with the site next to us. The pits are not moveable. In order to have electric on our site, the cord would run over the fire pit or tightly on the side of the pit. The idea of having a fire did not seem safe at all because of this issue. The water hookup also did not reach. When we spoke to the office about our site, they highly suggested we could buy another water hose from their store to fix the problem or we could move to another site until Sunday in which we would have to move by 1pm for the next campers coming in. We opted to switch sites because even with us not having a fire, the site next to us having a fire so close to the electrical unit made us uneasy. The lack of communication between campground offices and employees was confusing and tiresome throughout the stay. Each time we would ask if there was a cancellation on the site where we moved or when/where we would have to move on Sunday the office had no idea of what we were talking about and we would have to explain to them the situation over. When the office was closed, the camp store would also access the reservation software and try to find out a solution. One of those being our first site that we moved off of with the electrical over the fire pit. The first site we moved to by them was right on the lake which was nice. Aside from the sites being close together, the setup of the fire pit, electric, and water hookup was much more thought out and fits a regular 30ft travel trailer nicely. A lot of the workers there are teens, the ones who ran the activities by the lake or worked in the lake house were not helpful and seemed bothered by helping guests. We saw a majority of them on their cell phones a lot of the time and ignoring guests when they would need help for the boats or slides. We had purchased tickets for some of the activities at the camp store. The employee who had help us could not give us any information for the activity where it was located up or the specifics of it along with lack of communication in purchasing tickets for the boat or slide at the store and the lake. They do offer a free petting zoo which was nice. However, a lot of the other campers would let their kids run wild in there. I felt bad for the animals because kids would just climb into the cages with the animals or open the doors to their cages. There was little supervision by the campground in the petting zoo area in care for the animals. Located in the bathrooms is a dishwashing area which was nice to have one inside; however, it is right when you walk into the bathrooms. There is no mat or sign for the floor because it gets so wet from the dishwashing area. There is a little drain in the floor that helps a little, but the floor still gets terribly slippery. Overall, we were a little disappointed in our stay because we have heard such great things about the campground. I feel they have great ideas for their campers, but the lack in miscommunication throughout the campground provides a lack in experience for the campers. I did feel that our family was inconvenience towards the campground as they had a summer camp group coming in as well as a local church group they were setting up for near us in the Bayview area as well. that seems to be where they focus their attention and great experiences on. After we moved to our final site, the Bayview area did have a lot of cars parked down there from a group coming in. It was tight and was not great for hitching up a camper to tow out or just simply parking your car there. I think if we attended here in a larger group or attend the summer camp program our experience would be different.

They drop you off and it's about 1/4 mi walk down a dirt road to get to the put-in point. Also be sure to wear water shoes. You have to climb down the embankment to get in.
