The proprietor, Paul, was so gracious and informative. At the time, the Esopus was down , as were trout. He recommended rivers where we were actually staying, even showed us how to access them. He recommended flies and techniques. I've been out with a few guides here and there but this gentleman was off the charts superb and NICE! So nice, that we are returning in the Fall to go out with him on the Esopus. He is the kind of guide I look forward to being out with. Remember, I had not been out yet but can't wait.

This is a really great store in the middle of the Catskills. When an outdoor enthusiast thinks of…read morethe best outdoor store many from NYC will think "REI" well I'm here to tell you this store could be an REI annex (it's not) because it's got amazing quality gear just like the big box store. While the store itself is small it doesn't necessarily need to be large since it's the perfect solution if you are in the area and in need of replacement equipment. Why replace what you need with garbage when you can likely find a quality brand we know and trust at Camp Catskill. The selections of items in each particular outdoor category is small but the owner has arranged each section of the store to provide for the needs of almost any outdoor enthusiast that might stop in to replace equipment or get new stuff. The store is stocked with clothing, hiking gear, camping gear, outdoor accessories and even a small selection of boots. While the selection of boots is small if you find yourself on trail with an unexpected broken boot rest assured you don't have to go far to find a quality boot to get you back on trail especially if you are in the area for a few days camping. I stopped in and left with a shirt and fridge magnet. Not sure why in my old age I seem to be collecting fridge magnets but I find myself buying more of those in my travels.

I asked again to see it and he told me that they don't like to let people handle it because it was too expensive. I asked if it was for sale and he said yes, but I assume that he didn't think I had enough money to buy it. I will never go back and will tell everyone I know about the way they treat customers.

This is the other tube rental company in town besides Town Tinker and they charge $9 less per…read moreperson. This can quickly add up with a group. For a tube rental that includes a life vest and transportation to the river, it is $16 per person. They use recycled tires that they blow up, add handles and a seat to. Using good shoes, such as river shoes or old tennis shoes are highly recommended! They have old shoes with sizes written on them that you can rent for $2. I think this should be free considering you are using someone elses old shoes! Tubing on the Esopus- is not relaxing! It is white water tubing! They are rocks you have to avoid and falls that knock almost everyone off of their tube. I would know, I fell when I hit the first huge rock and ended up with a black eye as my battle scar! It is much safer to tube with a group here or you will be all alone. They drop you off and you are on your own. This is my only problem with this place. Since they are not as popular as Town Tinker, you go on the river by yourself as opposed to a group. The day we went, it began thundering so I got scared and we exited the river to the LEFT. It stopped thundering as soon as we got out, and the sun came out. We walked down the road for quite awhile before we found a place to re-enter the river. I was not planning on walking all the way back to the tube rental place! We met up with a town tinker group so we felt safer and had quite some fun on the way down.

Terrible! I rented…read morefrom these shady characters and was told I didn't need a helmet or any safety gear since this was a "lazy river" ride. What a huge mistake, I almost got seriously hurt as a result. This is a slipshod operator that puts profit ahead of safety so beware.
