They are a dealer for Penn Fishing Tackle, Abu Garcia, Daiwa & Aftco Rollers.

They also offer repairs! Can't make it to Winchester Bay, OR? They have an eBay store where they have made over 6,000 sales, so you know they're doing great work. I will continue to order from them online, and next time I'm in town I will visit the shop again!

We stayed one night here recently. The campsites are really in 3 levels. We ended up with a site in…read morethe small middle yurt section, and happy we did. The sites in the lower loop seemed fairly tight with limited privacy. The upper loop seemed a bit more private. Lots of shade throughout, facilities were clean (no dump station). We took the Lake Marie loop trail that evening. There seemed to be a few trees down recently, but the trail itself was in pretty good shape. You could also take the trail away from the lake to the dunes. Speaking of those, they're definitely close enough that the sounds of the buggies often reverberated through the entire campground into the night. It didn't keep us up, but it did affect the serenity of the lake.

I've been stranded and forgotten on the far side of the river for 4 hours, I've been delayed for 24 hours because they had a family emergency (understandable) but then told they'd be 5 hours late after showing up the next day. They're friendly people, mostly, but it's just excuse after excuse. I will, from now on, skip this section of coast on my thru hikes because of them. 0/10 not recommended for hiking shuttle.

I'm camping here in my RV. They have over 120 sites. You can stay for up to three months. Currently…read morethere are two or three RVs here and I have a whole section to myself. It's boondocking, no utilities, although there are picnic tables and bbqs. There is a dump and potable water. The dump is $10 and the water is $5 for campers. Many of the spaces are pull throughs and quite wide. It's so quiet and peaceful here. I can see the boats from my windows. I've seen a Harbor seal a few times when I take my dog out. We stare at each other. I've also seen cormorants, buffleheads, and other seabirds. And a coyote. The marina is near the Umpqua lighthouse and I recommend touring it. Reedsport is a few miles north on the 101 and Coos Bay/North Bend is about twenty miles south. There are good restaurants in Winchester Bay. Gas and propane prices are very high. You can buy propane for a dollar less than what they charge here if you drive the few miles to Reedsport.

First, they did an excellent job caring for our safety, and the set up everyday was beyond what we do at home. We got to a lunch spot and they'd have chairs set up, a full and plentiful spread with choices for gluten free or even just the more picky eaters. Dinners were delicious and they even had dessert every night. They were clean when preparing food, washing their hands often. Of and the first day, they noticed that we were early risers and offered to have coffee earlier if we wanted. The equipment was good, I can't compare to anything since this was my first rafting experience but there were no issues along the way. The duckies were a kick and Drew was careful to give detailed explanations on maneuvering the rapids (although I didn't follow them well, I was still okay). They also brought a ton of water and kept it cool, we could add Gatorade as we wished. 100% A+

I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked…read moreMorrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either.
