Fun place for a canoe trip on the Pigeon River. They rent canoes and kayaks and bus you out to the drop off point. The best part for me is that the river takes you right back to the campground and they do all the clean up of the boats and stuff so it's a nice experience for the family and parties alike.
Trading Post Outfitters is a little bit out of the way but on the recommendation of a friend we made the trek and it was definitely worth it. The staff is very helpful and all of the kayaks we had were in good working order. The facility is neat and orderly with clean bathrooms and lots of changing stalls. There are two kayaking options, we took the west section which leads away from the Trading Post. We plan to come back and do the east section as well. The river itself is beautiful, with a good current and the water is very clear. We saw lots of fish in it and a couple of otters as well.
My friends and I come here every single year for my birthday! This year we had 24 people in our group. We love it! The campground is peaceful and never overcrowded! All of the staff is so friendly they make you feel like family! From the receptionist to the bus driver to the security to the people that help load and unload you from the water, they are all amazing! Always a great time at the trading post!
Been coming for many years with a big group. Quiet hours are 11PM which seems early for being campground full of people trying to have a good time on a weekend. Quiet hours for the owners also mean, no talking and go to bed.
Staff is super friendly though and the river is a good time
Excellent staff and service, I did my reservation on their website, walked in to check-in at appointment time and I was on the water within 10 minutes. Equipment was all in good condition, the waterway was cleared of all fallen trees and I was picked up within 15 minutes of calling at the pickup point at the end of the trip. I've been on multiple trips that they offer and it has always been worth it.
