The park has improved since our first visit about 3 summers ago. We come here at least once and we all enjoy it, we get there early morning and leave right before closing. I may add, if you go during the summer, you MUST wear sun protection and bring lots of water, the heat is no joke. The water is really cold which is refreshing on a hot summer day. The staff is very friendly and informative, also very helpful!! My tent blew away during a little windy moment and they helped me bring it back while also providing tips to prevent it from happening again. In the past, we had to get there before the park opened to secure a spot and once capacity was met they didn't allow anyone to enter. This was tough since there were a couple times we didn't make it on time and had to go elsewhere. Now, things have changed, which is a lot more convenient. They only allow the people that have reserved online go in from 7am-11:30am. If you DO NOT have reservations, you will NOT be allowed in before 11:30. At 11:30 they will only allow you in if they haven't reached capacity and it's first come first serve. If you did RSVP and make it after 11:30am, you risk losing your spot since general people will be allowed in at that time.

River front sites available and the rest of the sites are made in steps so you aren't looking at the other coaches butt the entire time your on vacation. You can see the river from all sites. There's a launch, beach, pool, spa, club house and multiple things to do while here.

***** Scammers***** This place is going to be investigated…read moreby the business bureau. They rent out broken boats that the team already questions. Tell you it's fine and once you head 15 mins from the dock the boats engine/propeller gives you issues. When you attempt to make contact with the office in our case Tammy and Blaine and explain being stranded multiple times in the river, they then force you to make your way back to a dock that works for them. Keep in mind that each time the boat stalled it took 15 mins for it to start again. When docked they could have came to our location but they forced us to get back on the water and push the boat to drive 20 mins. The boat didn't make it. After they send out a team to help you and exchange boats they then hit you with a labor, gas, repair and rescue fee which is almost the cost of the rental. The only thing they have is a report and photos of the damage but send it to you a month later. We have pictures of the condition of the boat prior to our use with time stamps because of their previous reviews. When speaking to Tammy, she belittles you and obviously has no empathy. Even ask her co workers, they must feel the same. I've witnessed how she speaks to them. The worst person to do deal with customers or work with. It's sad because we had a great experience at this resort until we encountered Arizona Watersports.

My man (S) & I were going to rent a kayak for the day @ Rotary Park like we did 3 yrs ago but Maryanne mentioned that there have been a lot of big boats there & suggested doing the Castle Rock/Mesquite option. @ first we were going to just rent a two person kayak but then decided to get our own after learning it was $40/pp. We had to meet Maryanne & her husband Jim @ Mesquite bay to leave our car & get picked up by them & taken down to Castle Rock, our starting point. Well Mesquite Bay couldn't be found on the GPS & I wasn't sure where we were going. Was trying to confirm directions the AM of & Maryanne was nice enough & just came to our hotel so we could follow them. Well S was moving very slow this day & I had to keep harassing him to get going. I felt horrible that when they got to the hotel he wasn't ready. We kept them waiting for about 10 mins maybe 15 minutes. Worst feeling to have. They seemed OK with it, didn't seem mad or annoyed. Of course I apologized for him holding us up. (Sorry again) Mesquite bay wasn't far from our hotel (Rodeway Inn) maybe about 10-13 minutes. Once we got there we parked. Maryanne pointed out land marks so we would know where & when to turn to get back to this point, our ending. We quickly packed our coolers. I brought my own & S borrowed one from them that they had, along with a wet bag & some flip flops. He was "rushing" to get out of the hotel & forgot his water shoes. They know exactly what comes in handy on a day on the water. We then jumped in their van & we all wore masks, CV19 precautions. S & I were the only passengers. We went up the road a little further, apx. 5 miles to get Castle Rock. Once we go there we got out & the man helped them unload the kayaks off their van. They provide life jackets, you don't have to wear them but I highly recommend you do for safety reasons. There isn't much activity or people around Castle Rock's waters, @ least the day we went on. Sunday 09/27/2020. Boats aren't allowed in the beginning waters. You have to bring the kayak's down to the water. WACKO has a set of wheels they put on the back of the kayak & you lift it from the front and pull. Maryanne helped me with mine. S did his own. We didn't want Jim helping us as he didn't look like he should be doing that stuff. It wasn't too far of a walk. Once we got down to the water she pointed out where to go, mentioned the caves you can check out if the water level isn't too low @ the entrance. She also provided a little map with land marks/pictures on it that was laminated that we took along with us. Just so you know there are NO BATHROOMS @ Castle Rock or Mesquite bay. So if you can take care of your bathroom duties prior to heading out its advised. Don't liter & leave trash behind. Take out what you take in. Take a lunch/snacks so when you get hungry & can find a place to stop you have something to eat. These spots have NO trash cans either. Once we got in our kayaks & got started we found that the kayaks were a little wobbly which made us nervous. It was as if they felt light & with the wrong move you would tip it over. We've kayaked before & I have never experienced this in any kayak's. So because of this we decided not to venture down to the cave since it was in the opposite direction and we were nervous due to the stability of the kayaks. The water area on the take off is a small section & you have to go up to the tall greenery to find a narrow path to get out into the bigger water. Maryanne points you in the right direction prior to leaving. You have to take your paddle apart & only use one 1/2 to help you paddle thru the narrow path. **See video I posted of this. We both were still a little nervous. There was a lot of water trees/plants in the water. Not sure if thats what they're called but your paddle right over them, nothing we wanted to fall into...creepy! LOL I picked up some on my paddle & accidentally got some on top of my hat & had no idea until S noticed it & told me. We got a good laugh out of that. We saw some birds, little brown ducks & some big white ducks that had NO problem being friendly. I advise you NOT TO FEED them or they will follow you. We pulled over to a spot & they came over to us & was surrounding my kayak & jumping on it cause I feed them when I first saw them. We stopped @ the palm tree to hang in the water a bit & then right around the corner was Mesquite bay. It took us 4.5 hrs to complete with a couple stops. I highly recommend using this company for your kayaking needs. You won't be disappointed! Also their hrs on Yelp aren't correct, call them to make reservations or with questions. If they don't call you back for some reason, call them back. ALSO DON'T FORGET YOUR SUNSCREEN & HAVE FUN!!!

My friend and I had the most incredible experience kayaking out of Willow Beach to the Emerald Caves, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this team. From the moment we arrived, everything felt organized, welcoming, and thoughtfully run. As a first-time kayaker, I was a little nervous--but that disappeared almost instantly thanks to how clearly everything was explained and how patient and encouraging the staff were. Blair was absolutely amazing--friendly, knowledgeable, and just one of those people who makes you feel at ease right away. And Wolfe (his adorable dog!) completely stole my heart. It honestly added such a fun, personal touch to the whole experience. The rest of the staff were just as fantastic--super attentive, upbeat, and clearly passionate about what they do. The trip itself? Unreal. The water at Willow Beach is stunning, and paddling into the Emerald Caves felt like something out of a dream. The views, the calmness, the whole atmosphere--it was the perfect mix of adventure and peace. What really stood out to me was how safe and comfortable they made me feel the entire time. They took the time to make sure I understood everything, checked in along the way, and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having a great experience. 10/10, beyond worth it, and I would book with them again in a heartbeat. If you want a fun, beautiful, and genuinely memorable day--this is it.
