We rented from Gypsy Canoe (see my review). Until we get more experience, we'll continue to rent from Gypsy. The Kayak Park has a few rapids for exposure.

My time a slot was 1pm so I got there 15min til 1. Parking was a challenge since it was a busy weekend but I found a spot. Checked in at the office - they have a little shop in case you need last minute items for the trip. Waited for the bus underneath a big shade tree. There's ONE tree swing which I snagged immediately - made waiting for the bus breeze by. Especially great having shade sitting on the bus while everyone got settled. I think it was an hour total wait to get started from the time I got there because they needed to shuttle more paddles in. but honestly I didn't notice because of the amazing weather & you can tell the drivers want to make sure everything is in order to have enough paddles + life vests for each person. The bus driver was upbeat & thorough so that everyone was accounted for. If you like feeling the breeze, their open-top bus is perfect for it. Once we got to the drop off point, their guys dragged our floats down to the river for us. They also helped me get into my kayak which was super nice. At the end of the river, their location to get back to All American is pretty obvious so you won't miss it.

Ended up having to pull 2 out of the woods we found and another company gave us an extra they had with a hole in the bottom. Falcon floats got us on the bus in less than 5 minutes.

We camped for 2 nights and recommend site 15, or the 3 spots closest to the river.

What a horrible experience! Let me first start off by saying that over the years I have spent…read morehundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars floating & camping @ Gypsys. I have 3 kids under 9 that are small enough to sit on a kayak with an adult. Most of the time my husband & I rent 3 kayaks, a $90 rental. On this occasion we had friends with their own kayaks floating and we decided to rent a tandem kayak instead, a $60 rental, and let 2 children ride with the friends. Upon arrival, I asked my husband to pull up to the stairs & drop me off so that I could check in. It's the bus turn around area, there appeared to be no other customers present except 1 other person in our party, my knee was killing me, and it wasnt a big deal. However, the young man driving the bus didnt think so and was quick to reprimand. I explained my husband was just dropping me with my injured knee off so I could check in. The young man with his super trooper shades then repeated himself and continues to tell me about it being the bus turn around and how we aren't supposed to drive there. It was a no harm, no foul situation and I really didn't feel I needed a lecture as my husband was just trying to help me avoid any extra knee pain. My first indication of the rudeness I was about to encounter. The owner Jerrid greeted me when I walked in the office. He tells me I had to pay the take out fees for my friends kayaks. Friends boats, not mine. I tried to call my friends but couldn't get through so I paid the fees for the boats that weren't mine, $15. Then he tells me each of my kids has a $20 shuttle fee adding up to $60. According to the website, this is the fee per person for shuttling boats, but now he is telling me its for shuttling 3 small kids, all less than 50lbs each, on a bus going 3.5 miles with their parents. We went from a $60 rental to $135 to cover my friends boats docking there and shuttle(bus) fees for 3 small kids without boats. I tried to explain that we had never had shuttle fees for my children & I felt at least one of them should be included in the $60 rental, as they had never charged me extra for shuttling them with 3 kayaks and I have ALWAYS been upfront about taking my kids. I mentioned the really nice blonde haired lady that worked the office in the past & how she knew the situation. Maybe that's what set him off, as I suggested she was his wife and he is divorced. Or maybe it was just that I wasn't willing to hand over $75 more to him on a slow, end of the season day bt this is when he began raising his voice & talking over me. He proceeded to tell me how I have been stealing from him if I had not paid his shuttle fees in the past. Lets call them bus fees as there was no boat shuttling involved here. I said I would have my friends at the kayak park come get my children, no big deal. He continued yelling at me and slamming things, not just in front of his children that were in the room but he followed me outside, slamming the doors in his establishment, and yelling at me in front of my children. He literally yelled that all I 'had to do was be kind'. He yelled it! Stop for a second a check yourself Jerrid. I wasn't treated with an ounce of kindness from the second we pulled in. Jerrid slammed the door of his office so hard that it was felt in the stairs on the other side and my family said you could see the windows shake. All because I wasn't willing to pay the excessive fees he presented & found a reasonable way to save $. He then tried to tell us to all get on the shuttle after having a temper tantrum about shuttle fees & me being a thief. As it turns out, my friends had already paid that $5/boat fee. Ironic bc he accused me of stealing from him. When informed, Jerrid threw cash at my friend & told him I wasn't welcomed back & he's going to "put my name in the computer". Jerrid you can put it in the computer, write it on a wall, sketch it in some stone, but there is no way I will EVER support your establishment again. He's clearly unstable. Jerrid & his staff have a lot to learn about being gracious to their customers.

The camp grounds, pool and restrooms were clean and well kept. UNFORTUNATELY the cabin was dirty, dusty not well maintained. The dirt was not just places missed due to a quick turn around but old dirt that had not been clean for a while. The front French door had black marks all around the door handle. when I opened the pullout couch there was chips on top of the mattress and on the inside of the mattress there was old bark and dust. In the kitchen the plastic braining board had old dried up dirt which could be spotted as soon as you opened the cupboard door. There was dust and dirt in the corners and the screened in porch also dirty, grubby and need of maintenance. I don't think it had been cleaned in months. When I reported this to the staff they apologized and said they were short staff, but this was old neglected dirt. There was not sufficient crockery for the number of people staying in the cabin. we had 2 mugs, 3 spoons etc. On the website pictures of the cabins the cabins appeared much larger. The loft (2nd bedroom) was so tight that the children were bumping their heads. A normal sized adult would be very uncomfortable sleeping up there. There is no space to hang your clothes and the hot water to the shower was very on and off. On a positive note all the staff were friendly and helpful. The children really enjoyed "roughing it" experience and it is in a real beautiful setting. We will go back with much lower expectations and I hope by then the problems surrounding the cleaning and maintenance of the cabins has been rectified

We planned our July 4th trip back in March with another family, just like we did last year. We…read morespecifically reserved RV sites next to each other so we could camp together. When we checked in, our sites had been changed. We were told they wouldn't move us back because one of the two reservations hadn't paid the $40 "lock-in" fee. I even offered to pay the fee at check-in so we could get our original sites back, but they refused. To make matters worse, the sites we originally reserved ended up sitting empty half our stay with no RVs in them. The front desk experience only made things worse. As we calmly expressed our disappointment and tried to explore whether there was any way to move us back to our reserved sites, the employee accused us of "raising heck." She then abruptly asked if we wanted a refund rather than trying to help resolve the situation. The interaction came across as rude and dismissive, and there was very little effort made to provide good customer service. I've been coming to Marval since I was a kid, and it's always been one of my favorite places to camp. That's what made this experience so disappointing. I'm not sure if there's new ownership or a change in management, but it feels like the focus has shifted toward nickel-and-diming customers instead of providing the great customer service Marval used to be known for. I hope this was just an isolated experience, but after reading other reviews it seems to be a constant problem.
