They drop off and pick up the kayaks, can also drive you/pick you up from the beach. We kayak 5 miles (drop off to pick up) and we got a ride back to our car. It's just a beautiful place to kayak, the water is warm and it's just such a beautiful place. A must to do!!

I ended up asking the owner for some advice on how to get started in the local waters. He was incredibly helpful- not only did he recommend a specific spoon spinner, but he even took the time to show me the best way to cast and retrieve it for the river. This place is definitely a local gem. Whether you're a regular or you're like me and somehow managed to leave your tackle box at home, it's a great spot to drop by. Great service and even better advice!

I'd no idea of how much there's to learn! I highly recommend this class! If you're a novice, by the end of the class you'll be much more experienced. I'm really looking forward to practicing what I learned. One of the things I really appreciated was the detailed list they provide of what to bring to the class. Additionally, the location of the class is the best! I really enjoyed going to Alameda and also the estuary, plus a great view of SF. I look forward to continuing to support this business.

They fill up the gas for you (only place around that doesn't charge you for gas) and if you run low while you're out on the water they come fill you up. I want to especially shout out Tessa and Jennifer in the front. We ended up changing our reservation and they were so accommodating and helpful. Jeremy and John/Jessie made me feel so comfortable with all of my questions and really cared about my family and so being safe and comfortable. Will use them next time we come out!!!

Extremely disappointed with this rental company. The customer service was unprofessional and they…read morehad no idea how to deal with customers respectfully. The tube they gave us was already torn before we even used it. As soon as we got on it, it ripped completely, even though we used it normally. Instead of taking responsibility for giving us damaged equipment, they blamed us and tried to charge us for it. They first demanded $230, and only after we argued with them did they suddenly lower the charge to $170, which makes no sense if we were actually responsible. I would not recommend renting from this place. Poor customer service, damaged equipment, and unfair charges. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Really enjoyed our two night stay at Schoolhouse Canyon! The campground was beautiful with lush and…read moreclean sites, clean facilities, and easy access to the river and the shops in Guerneville. Each site had a fire pit and picnic table, both of which were very clean and well maintained. Sites ranged in size, some good for 1 tent with 2 people and others with room for 3 or so tents. Our site was a little smaller, but had a nice privacy divide and lots of trees. Just across the road and down a dirt path is the campground's private river access. It's about a 3-5 minute walk depending on how much you're carrying. The beach is super rocky so it's a good idea to have water shoes and a chair. We enjoyed going for a swim here and sitting out watching the water and wildlife. We stayed in a site closer to the front of the campground and River Road, so it was a bit noisy with the cars going by, but we were prepared for this and brought earplugs, which really helped. They have a regular/family section as well as an adult only section. The adult only section is further back in the campground and noticeably quieter, though it is further from the restrooms. Another major plus was the dishwashing station! They had a 4 compartment sink equipped with soap and sponges. This was so conventinet and made cleaning up a breeze. I booked our reservations with Chris a few months prior to our August stay. The booking process was super easy, you do have to call in and will likely receive a call the next day, so plan to call when you know you'll be by your phone! Would absolutely come back here since there's so much to do in the area and it really is a nice and clean campground.

This is run by a lovely, local couple who almost felt like family in the short time we were there. They boosted the confidence of my son with reassurance and also took the time to help us get back to our vehicle after it unexpectedly broke down on our way to the river. Just wanted to say they are really good people. They also gave us great guidance to navigate the river with quality equipment!

First off, we do this river day trip every year. We -highly- recommend experiencing the river, it's…read morealways fun and rarely disappoints (even as our kids get older!) While we have used different outfits lately - we had a great experience with Russian River Adventures a few years back, so we came in excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing, mainly due to poor planning by the staff. We booked for four people on a Thursday - my wife, myself, and our two teens (14 and 16)--with the expectation that we'd have two boats, which is standard for this group size. However, the team miscounted the boats that morning. When we pointed this out, instead of fixing the mistake, they pulled us aside and crammed all four of us into a boat intended for three, squeezing in an extra seat to make it "fit." Visibly frustrated, the team promised to speak with the owner and make it right (it was two high schoolers running it that day). I didn't argue and wanted to at least try to have a good time and not be that Dad. The result on the boat? A very cramped and uncomfortable setup that made the inflatable much harder to steer and navigate--especially on a 9-mile river trip. This wasn't the experience we paid for or expected based on our prior trips. The staff seemed more focused on moving us along rather than making it right. Still haven't heard from the owner. We'll likely explore other options next time around. Disappointed to see the service slip like this.

What was once a worthwhile club appears to be in clear decline. From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.

While we enjoyed the extra space and the cement patio, we weren't able to use the weber grill due to all the rust. And the swing and chair and table set were nice, but covered in dirt and bird feces. I understand it's a campground, but they're calling these their "platinum" sites. It would be great if they could keep the grills covered (to prevent rust) and hose down the furniture when needed. Nobody likes cooking on a rusty grill.

Nice location half way down river to have a picnic lunch. No parking on site but available at park across the street ($12) or free parking across the bridge. Of the 4 kayaks we used only 1 had the connections for tie downs and a single rope to tie down our cooler. Take plenty of sunscreen since there is no way to avoid the sun for about 3 hours. The suggestion to take dry clothes for after the trip was appreciated. No way you can get away from getting wet.

We got to the meeting point early so we hung out. Workers were friendly. They quickly briefed us on the route and what to expect. Then we boarded the shuttle that dropped us off 5 miles up the river. We took a 30 min lunch break but the rest of the time I was paddling for about 3.5 hours! 5 miles doesn't seem like a long distance as I can run it in under an hour but this took us a long time! We were all relieved when we finally spotted the bridge around the bend and knew we had arrived back at the starting point! Plenty of parking in front street or across the street at memorial park.
