I haven't been bouldering/rock climbing in years and having just moved to Augusta, I had a great…read moretime here. As a new comer, the staff was welcoming and helpful in ensuring I knew the basics and recommended routes to take that would be beneficial for a beginner and definitely had fun doing so. They also have military, student, or first responder discounts and that includes admissions, shoes, and harness; price was very fair. This place certainly had a wide array of equipment for even power lifting, ninja warrior stations, bouldering walls, and plenty of rock walls. You do have to be certified by them to belay on your own, so I stuck with the auto belay walls; just wish there were a little more selection of auto belay walls. Overall, I had a great time and rather you're a beginner or experienced, highly recommend this place if you're into bouldering or wall climbing.

This climbing center is the most kid/beginner-friendly place I've been to so far! Most climbing…read morecenters tend to be overwhelming at first for me as a beginner climber because of the huge walls but the walls here aren't as intimidating. There is a designated kid area with really easy climbs so bring your kids here for exercise or birthday party!! There is also a table tennis and conditioning areas which I use when I'm too tired to climb. I do wish the bouldering area was bigger and had more beginner friendly routes but it might be that i'm just really weak lol. The day pass and the membership price are average for climbing, overpriced if you are expecting gym membership price but so worth it if you like climbing. Overall, an amazing place to visit with your family in the Augusta area!

They also offer a variety of group rates! Have your own kayak? RiverRats offers certified guides to lead you on expeditions. They have several launch times each day through out the summer season. You can bring your own kayak or rent one of theirs. Looking to buy a kayak? The RiverRat's team is amazing at fitting you with a boat that's right for you. They will even let you try out various boats to make sure you're satisfied before you purchase one. Each year they host a Paddlethon to raise money for Tara Hall Home for Boys. It's always a great day full of fun, food, music and new friends!

I've used RiverRats to paddle Lynches River twice now - once with my son's Boy Scout troop and once…read morewith my family. The guides are very helpful and competent - and great at helping beginners learn to paddle. You can rent boats from them or pay them to transport your own boat. We have done both but honestly it's just easier to rent from them. They have several styles of boats depending on what you need (tandem, sit on top, sit inside, "big boy" boats). There's a nice shelter at the river house to rest under when you get back, bathroom, and even a camping area for groups that want to stay overnight. It's a family run business and they are all super friendly.

Drop-off and pick-up are incredibly organized, quick, and easy, which makes a huge difference. Coach Conroy has been wonderful, introducing the kids to a variety of sports while keeping a great focus on teamwork and sportsmanship. They even got some fun swag from local sponsors, and I really love that community-first aspect of supporting the kids through play. ​The best part of the week was seeing my son discover a real love for basketball. He is already asking how he can play more and dive deeper into the sport. We are very pleased with the experience, would absolutely do this camp again, and highly recommend it!

This review is for the campground and our experience while staying there. We booked our site for…read moreseveral days but then extended, which turned out to be trouble-free. We simply called or stopped by the office. I'm sure it would have been much harder had it been summer but because we were there in April, it worked out wonderfully. Having a larger rig, I tried to do some initial research on sites. There are a few photos on the internet and with the help of Google Earth, I had an idea of the campground layout prior to arrival. We reserved a site as we were guests of our daughter, who was graduating Army Basic Training. We extended our stay as she was going to be staying at Fort Jackson for her AIT and as it worked out, we got to spend some time with her once she arrived at AIT (the following weekend after graduation). As far as the campground, it was wonderful! The staff keeps the trash picked up and the sites clean. The sites have poured concrete pads with modern hook-ups. The roadway around the sites is gravel. We tow a 40' RV and the only issue we had with the road is the gravel in front of our site was washed out due to rain. This made it a bit tough backing into our site. Thankfully, the site across from us was unoccupied so it made it a bit easier to back in. Had we angled in, the ruts would have been a bit of an issue but not impossible. All the hook-ups were great. The site numbers are well marked and were easy to find. Electric was modern and the pedestal was lit for use after dark. The water hookup was at the base of the electric pedestal and the sewer connection was next to that. The site was level and had a nice pad off to the side which contained a coated metal picnic table and grill. To date, it's the nicest site we've stayed in during our years of camping. Depending on your site and the length of your rig, you may want to decide which road to enter and from which direction. The roads in the campground are not one way, so your entry will be determined on the angle of the site in relation to the road. If you have a site across from you, someone could have a vehicle parked near the roadway so there could be some challenges backing into a site if it's directly across from another which is in use. I saw a few folks drive around, formulating a plan prior to occupying their site. We did not use the facilities but did walk around the campground and boat launch area. There are several very nice cabins on the water that can be rented. It appeared as if their decks overlooked the water. All of the RV sites were in great condition. There were a few tent campers in those designated areas. Many folks had pets and the campground was pretty active during nice weather with folks walking their pets and just getting some exercise. Within walking distance are the boat launch area and also the main office and beach area. There is a nice playground for children near the campground. A very family friendly location and again, everything appeared well maintained. There are lots of pine trees that give some shade from the sun but after a long winter, those rays were welcomed. We found our drive time from our campsite to For Jackson Gate 4 (Exit 15), which you use for attending Family Day and Graduation was about a 20-25 minute drive. From our campsite to Gate 2 (Exit 12) was a bit closer and an easy drive for getting onto Fort Jackson otherwise. There is a Gate 5 close to the campground but we did not use that. The hours were limited and being guests, we used Gate 2 and 4 as directed. There are several fuel stations that you pass on the way to the campground. We also used laundry facilities about 15 minutes away from the campground. There is a Food Lion nearby for groceries. We ended up needing some propane and used U-Haul down a few exits from Fort Jackson. The staff were outstanding and made our stay so very enjoyable. The campground is near the training sites so you will hear some automatic gunfire from time to time. Being on the lake, you'll hear a few boats but our experience was, the campground was very quiet and we slept great at night. Thanks to the staff for all your help in getting us a site and allowing us to extend to spend a few more days with our Soldier. Our entire experience was extremely memorable and we are thankful for the opportunity to stay and play. This campground is for military members both current and retired, along with their friends and family. And best of all, you can't beat the price!!!

This review is coming from someone who actually attended the camp. This camp is definitely not what…read moreit seems and overall is a waste of time and money. If you actually have a horse crazy kid don't send them here the camp was 95% chores and waiting and 5% actual riding time. I understand that weather can be an issue when it comes to riding but lying to children and saying it's too hot to ride when it's actually cool outside is awful. Aside from this it's too family like and way less professional than it needs to be most of the time the only adults on the property were not there and we were left with two counselors who were at most in high school. I rly didn't want to listen to other reviews and have faith in this camp but it did severely disappoint mrs Stephanie and the other staff were nice but their program need some serious work.

However, my12 yo daughter, who had attended horse camp for 4 years in a row, was placed in a beginner pool and not reassessed during the entire week. Other campers road twice per day, while the beginners road once per day, did a lot of chores, and did little else. In the other camps she's been to, she did horsemanship and chores, and was able to ride 2-3 times per day. For $750 a week plus $75 in camp shirts, I expected a lot more from this camp. Both my daughter and I are disappointed in her experience there. She will not be returning next year.
