One was serving buck nacho's. A shredded piece of duck meat with jalapeno cheese on 2 chips. The 2nd vendor had pulled pork, no option for sauce as it was all covered with mustard and the 3rd vendor offered 2 rips, which were still pink and a pork stuffed jalapeno wrapped with under cooked bacon. For my wife and I, pissed away $250 on crap. The drinks being offered were in 6 ounce plastic cups and were filled just above the halfway mark. Congrat's on ripping off a lot of people - Never again!

I have been a one or two automobile owner for more than 70 years. During a 30 year military…read moreservice career, I have lived in many areas of the country. I have dealt with more automobile service agencies than I can remember. I have recently moved to Chapin. Months prior to this move, my rare and much treasured 2007 Jaguar XKR developed a recurring and puzzling problem. I had taken it to Jaguar dealerships and my local mechanic several times. Each shop replaced random parts, charged lots of money, but never got to the root of the problem. On the advice of new friends and neighbors, I contacted Taylor's Auto Service. I did have serious concerns using an unfamiliar and unspecialized facility. I called, described the symptoms I had experienced and scheduled an appointment a few days later to drop off the car. On the first visit, the car behaved normally in the shop without issue so they returned it without charge. The problem occurred again soon after, requiring a 2nd visit with a more detailed system inspection. This has been the general pattern for this very random and rare recurring problem. With a better appreciation of the situation, Taylor's specialized electrical staff quickly found the TRUE problem, ordered and installed the part, and my pet was finally back home and running properly. While reloading my personal gear the next day, I accidentally triggered the car's anti-theft system. The car froze and I was unable to release it. I called Taylor's, asked for help, and the Shop Chief came to my residence. He quickly reset the system and gave me his expert advice to prevent this from happening again. There was no charge for the rescue. I have never experienced service like this anywhere. Needless to say, Taylor's will be my family's one and only service contact from now on.

Not only did they accommodate the last minute booking, but they gave incredible directions on how to get there. The staff was kind, caring and incredibly helpful! We originally planned on renting from a place closer to columbia, I accidentally booked for this location instead which was a good 45 minute drive away from us (only realized when we put the address in the gps to get there!) but it was entirely worth it! We were bummed that it was a longer drive to get onto the boat, but after our experience I would much rather go back there again compared to a location closer to Columbia. They got us on the boat in no time and did an incredible job explaining everything to us. The boat had everything we needed and we even used the floats which were incredible. Not only was the experience in person great, but even before we got there and after we left. When I did the initial booking it wouldn't go through, so they walked me through the process over the phone. After the trip I had questions and called the next morning and they were kind, remembered our family and let me know that I left my favorite hat on the boat and offered to mail it to me since we are a 45 minute drive away. Rather than having them mail it, I asked if they could hold onto it until we come back for another rental and the promised to take care of it until we come back. Oh and as someone with a disability who is accompanied by a service dog, I am always weary of bringing my service dog with me to new places in fear I'll be turned away since my disability isn't visible. Not only was it not an issue whatsoever, but they made sure that it was comfortable and easy for my service dog to accompany me. That's a huge bonus point in my book. Not only not asking what's wrong with me to need the service dog, but treating me exactly how they would treat anyone else was an above and beyond moment for me. 15/10 highly recommend them over the busier, less passionate boat rental companies closer to the Columbia area.

I stayed in camper cabin 3 the weekend of October 4th, 2025. The main reason we stayed in a camper…read morecabin was because it's a pet friendly cabin. The cabin itself is tiny. One full bed and one set of bunk beds. One small dorm-type refrigerator and a small microwave. One thing I learned quick was to not run the microwave while the refrigerator is also plugged in as the breaker will trip. So I unplugged the refrigerator whenever I needed to use the microwave. The refrigerator will hold several bottles of water, ham, cheese, mayo, etc. I also brought some soup and a soup mug to use in the microwave. Also to note, it's about a 30-45 second walk to the bath house, at least from cabin 3. The bed wasn't horribly uncomfortable. I had my pillows and sleeping bag from home and was quite comfortable. The little Gree mini-split unit kept the cabin at a great temperature. Now for the not-so-good things. First, a metal roof surrounded by trees, some of which were dropping acorns. Large acorns hitting a metal roof from high up make a very loud BANG when they hit the roof. Quite the scare in the middle of the night. That's my only complaint. There was a nice little front porch and a picnic table with fire pit close by. I must say it was a great weekend away from the hustle and bustle of life. I'm still giving this review 5 stars. The state park employees work very hard to make sure you have a great experience. And you have to want to be a state park employee. It's not just a job you get. You have to have a passion for it.
