Terms and Conditions

We encourage reservations for all guests, to guarantee availability.  
Walk Ins are welcome, but keep in mind that you are subject to our availability when not making prior arrangements.  For off season visits, reservations are helpful to insure proper staffing is here and ready to put you out on the water.  

Floating and Camping require a 100% deposit in advance.  

Camping reservations can be made for 2 guests on each site, allowing you to finalize your group either prior to your arrival date, or on the day of at the time of check in.  

While we allow site selection when reserving, we do reserve the right to move your campsite for any reason that could arise, at our discretion.  

Lodging should always be reserved ahead of time.  Our ever popular River House requires the first nights stay in advance to complete the reservation.

Cancellation Policy

We require a 7 day advance notice for all reservation cancellations.  The river house requires a 30 day notice to receive a refund of your deposit.  

If proper notice has been given, we will refund your deposit, less a 10% cancellation fee.

This policy is strictly adhered to. Please consider this prior to making your reservations.

Raincheck Policy – Inclement Weather

Float Trips are rain or shine.  If there is extreme weather and we cannot start your trip by 1pm, we will issue a rain check, valid through October 31st of the year issued. We welcome you back on a sunnier day!

Please note;

We cannot control the weather any more than the weathermen themselves.  Therefore, all reservations will be held to this policy. The determination is made the day of, based on what is happening at the resort and what is expected for the remainder of the day.  

No rain checks will be issued in advance.  If you choose to cancel your reservation, please reference the Cancellation Policy above.

Absolutely no refunds or rain checks for any lodging when Inclement Weather is present.
