Before you pack, reference our list of things to bring for camping and river trips!

No you do not; we accept walk-ins, although not every trip listed is available on a walk-in basis especially in the off season.

Not only will a reservation ensure your preferred trip, you will also save $5.00 a person when you book over 24 hours in advance. Certain days and time periods get very busy, so we highly recommend booking ahead of time. Visit our River Trips page to book your river trip online!
