Lovely kayaking experience at Meremac river. I appreciate booking with Old Cove Kayaking. It is…read moreabout 50 mins from Chesterfield. Booking is smooth on the website. Parking is plentiful at check-in. The staffs are extremely helpful at preparing life vests for us and putting us at the river. The end of the "ride" has a giant green flag, where the staffs help us get out of the water. We had amazing time and would recommend it. Tips: 1) the short trip was noted as 4 hours, though we finished in 2 hours. We recommend spending time parking our kayak at some beaches closeby for fun. 2) even though we selected a ride time of 9am, we are free to arrive any time before 12:30pm

First, I want to say that the Kozy Kabin was very nice, clean, and exactly what we expected. We were very happy with our cabin. Unfortunately, our experience was completely overshadowed by the behavior of one employee. We decided to go to a nearby cove where the float trips end because the river current near the beach was moving too fast for the kids to safely use their floats. My son drove us there so he could drop me off close to the water since I have bad knees and walking through the sand is very painful. As we stopped so we could get out, a resort employee pulled up and immediately began screaming and using profanity, telling my son to "get the hell out of the way" and that we weren't allowed there. My son apologized immediately and started moving the truck, but the employee continued yelling and cursing, even directing it toward my 15-year-old granddaughter, who became so frightened that she started crying. My husband told the employee there was no need to be so disrespectful. Instead of calming the situation, the employee got out of his truck, got in my husband's face, chest-bumped him, and threatened to "kick his f*ing a." My husband had a stroke recently, has very limited use of his left side, and slurred speech. It was heartbreaking to watch someone treat him--and a teenage girl--with such hostility. I stepped between them to de-escalate the situation while another employee tried to pull the man away. Thankfully, we were able to leave without anyone getting hurt. My daughter arrived moments later after hearing the yelling from the parking lot and told us the same employee had nearly hit their vehicle after cutting them off. After everything settled down, I asked one of the employees who was trying to calm the situation for the other employee's name because I intended to report what had happened. He politely declined to give me that employee's name and would only tell me his own. I truly appreciate that he was trying to de-escalate the situation and acted professionally throughout the incident. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his name, but he was the only employee who made any effort to resolve the conflict instead of making it worse. I understand employees have difficult jobs and may need to direct traffic or keep restricted areas clear. If we were somewhere we shouldn't have been, a calm explanation would have been all that was needed. There was absolutely no excuse for the profanity, intimidation, threats, or aggressive behavior we experienced. We understand that mistakes happen and that employees have stressful jobs. What we cannot understand is why a family--including a frightened 15-year-old girl and a grandpa--was met with profanity, intimidation, and threats instead of simple, respectful communication. We truly wanted to enjoy our weekend and overlook the flooding because that was beyond anyone's control. Unfortunately, one employee's behavior completely overshadowed what could have been a wonderful stay. I sincerely hope management investigates this incident and provides additional training so no other family has to experience what we did.

I've never left a review like this, but this place earned it…read more The whole operation felt like it was run by tweakers. There was staff literally drinking and driving around the campsite while kids were playing 20 feet away. We waited almost 2 and a half hours just to get our floats dropped at the river. Then they hit my friends with a random $100 charge after everything was done. And it gets worse: they talked a few of my buddies into hauling and stacking all the rafts at the end of the day -- unpaid. When we called to ask about the extra charge, they straight up called my friends "pricks" The cherry on top? As I was leaving, one of the employees had their car doors wide open with what appeared to be a meth pipe and torch sitting right there on the seat. In broad daylight. Unsafe, shady, and completely unprofessional. Save your money and your sanity. We'll never go back.

While I still wish I could walk down to the river from the cabins, it's really the only negative for me. The cabin sleep 2 in a private room, plus 5 more in the main room (one twin and 2 bunk bed sets). The main room also has a big table in the middle of the room with chairs that came in very handle when it started raining at dinnertime. Our friends in the cabin next door came over and we all ate inside. The kitchen was nice too. Nothing special, but it did allow us to finish up some food in the oven and have a crockpot going all day while we were on the river. And it gave us a small fridge. I also like that the cabins are really spread out. There is a big field with the cabins lining it in a huge circle, so you only have cabins to your sides and that's it. It really was a great setup to have 2 cabins that sleep 7 next to each other for a big group.

The canoe was a bit banged up and filled with sand residue. We got life jackets only so bring cushions to sit on. The portajohns were clean and maintained.

Serviceable overall and would use them again.

After a short trip to Eureka, we paid up (cash only), and got on their shuttle bus, where they drove us and the canoes to Pacific, to the river access. They got our canoe out, gave us a bag for garbage, and then we were on our own! The experience was enjoyable, though we ended up being on the river all day (they said it would be 5 hours if you just floated - well, it's much longer than that even if you do paddle). The prices seemed reasonable compared to other float trip spots - we paid $45 for a canoe rental on a Saturday - and it included the shuttle ride and drop off. After you get to the stopping point, it was kind of a longer walk back to your car, up a gravel road. Luckily, a nice family with a huge pickup truck was leaving the same time we were and gave us a ride. We had a good experience, and would definitely go here again - but would do the shorter (6 mile) float.

However, it is steep and narrow in places and you do go down quite a distance to the creek and you have to ascend back to the parking lot. It might be too much if you're not sure-footed. There no bathroom facilities, (at least in April) so stop at the gas station a few miles before. The bridge itself is large and we were able to walk under it to the other side. The creek was very low while we were there. The water was very clear, you could easily see the bottom of the river bed. Since the creek was low, there was a lot of exposed river rock that the kids thoroughly enjoyed picking up and throwing into the water. They had a fantastic time and slept all the way back home in the car.
