It is expensive, service at the restaurant was slow, and there was a party boat going late into the night which made it less quiet than expected. We stayed out when they first opened and loved it so much but then didn't have any issues with boats, and also the price was half the cost then which makes much more sense for the experience. Still a fun and memorable stay, just not quite as relaxing as it could be.

If you want to experience dull yet unrelenting pain then you should book a "retreat" here. Let me first explain the type of person I am as to provide some reference point. I was raised in a hot trailer park in South Texas. I worked menial jobs with bosses that would make drill sergeants seem pleasant. Oh, and my step father was an abusive alcoholic, I've been burned with cigarettes as a child. I've spent two years in prison. One of which was in Rikers island. I am absolutely not a soft person who needs life easy. All that being said. You will absolutely regret staying here unless you are a refugee from Haiti. If you are used to living without uncertainty and chaos then please heed this warning. First, our reservation. We paid 800 for a very specific reservation on their website. I paid for an upgraded room and was shown the cowboy Suite. I patiently waited over 45 mins to check in to an un busy tent at 8pm. The women seemed very uninterested and said she didn't see our reservation. I left the tent because my wife was hungry. So we had dinner at the restaurant. When I returned she tried to give me another place but it was basically a box. My wife and I insisted we had booked the cowboy suite. Much talking and deliberation I showed her my credit card charge and the amount on the app that I was charged. She said it wasn't available because and I quote, "yes we have lots of availability but they aren't cleaned until someone books them." Unfortunately they never emailed me a confirmation. I should have known something was wrong.

I was hoping to stay there again but it looks like they don't rent the shipping containers anymore?) This place completely lived up to my expectations. My container #9 was immaculate, with a small fridge, record player, microwave, pod-coffee maker, sink, and full bathroom with standup shower. The shower was a little small, be careful of accidentally hitting the water handle because you might make the water too hot, but it was amazing how good the shower was otherwise! Nice, hot water, good pressure. Also, the AC/Heat worked great. The view was spectacular. I let Dennis (his name was on a sign to call if problems) know that the curtain rod had come down because the end of it was missing, but I was able to put it back up. When I called, he answered right away, and he was very appreciative of the call. It's next to the Skyline drive in theater, so you can watch the movies that are playing, and also it made it easy for them to allow for free parking. Free parking in NY!! It felt safe, and I experienced no issues leaving my car overnight for 2 days. There's a door with code that you have to punch in to get into the area with all the pods/containers. And then a separate code to get into your specific container (not sure about the pods). I could not get over the views. I was staying in a hostel in Manhattan the night before for the same price which was TINY and overlooked an alley with a bunch of condensers. This glamping was so much better, and I couldn't stop looking at the views! Each container has a little sitting area, and mine was the first of them, so there were people sitting outside my container on my second night, which I didn't mind since I was already in bed but they were right under my window, so I could hear them until they left. Maybe a little fence separating the first container's sitting area from the general area would be helpful. I would definitely come back to this place. Especially want to come back with my partner, as the views are super romantic :) Also, it was in Greenpoint, which is fantastically located, tons of great restaurants (go to Oxomoco if you can, amazing food!!!).

Our picture at the end only had 3 people because one had popped out into the river. This was on the 6 hour tour. The guides were nice but in an emergency, which we had where two boats emptied their passengers, it was a little hairy. All in all a great day on the river. Super fun!

I have booked with White Water Challengers before and was excited to return because of the great…read moreexperiences I have had in the past. Unfortunately, our recent trip with a group of six was extremely frustrating due to the organization and scheduling. Our original time slot was changed because there were not enough groups, which we understood. However, our new 10:20 time slot was expanded to accommodate additional groups, and we were then required to wait an extended period for a very large group that arrived late. As a result, we did not begin rafting until after 12:15, and the safety review had to be rushed because of the delay. Throughout the trip, our group was repeatedly forced to stop and wait for the late group, who frequently fell out of their raft and struggled to follow the safety instructions. I estimate we spent close to an hour collectively waiting along the river. Even the group scheduled after ours eventually passed us, and we did not return to the bus until shortly after 5:00. I want to emphasize that Olivia, Bailey, Kristen, and Sid were excellent guides and did their best under difficult circumstances. My frustration is entirely with the organization and scheduling of the trip. Additionally, while this was outside of anyone's control, we paid for Class II and III rapids, but the river flow that day was approximately 820 CFS, making the experience much closer to Class I and II. I hope you will take this feedback seriously, as this experience was significantly different from the positive experiences that led me to book with White Water Challengers again.

Obviously there was some hesitation with allowing our daughter to attend any camp this year, but the Breene family that runs the camp was amazing not only from a logistical point of view but also in providing a safe "normal" environment for kids to enjoy. We have joked (but not really joking) that other entities should take notes on not only how to do proper communication but then effectively implementing and providing an environment in which all participants could feel safe. If the Breene family can provide this type of atmosphere under the circumstances they faced this Summer, imagine the experience they can provide when, hopefully, things are a bit more normal next Summer! Please consider Camp Riverbend for your child's next Summer camp experience.
