We visited the Red River with Run-A-Muck on a Saturday at 8:00 AM. We met at the rental place, got…read morea safety speech and life vests, then took a (somewhat old but functional) bus to the launch point. Lots of shade, but we stayed on the water quite a while and ended up out in the heat and sun of midday. We did not all prepare for this and are paying for that. Overall, it was a lovely float with some areas with added challenge (rocks, submerged trees, shallows) to navigate. There are quite a few rocky shore areas where you can pull up the kayaks for a break or snack. Speaking of, we brought water, but failed to bring any food. It would have been nice to have something even though we planned to eat after. The exit from the river is a bit rough, but the young men helping were wonderful. We got 3 single kayaks, and 3 upgraded single kayaks. We definitely felt the upgrade was worth it for stability, more room for heavy people, adjustable footrests, and adjustable back rest. We had a great time and definitely intend to go back again.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!…read more This was hands down the most disorganized kayak rental experience I've ever had. Our reservation was for 12:00 PM. We were running about 10 minutes behind, so we called ahead, let them know, and even paid before arriving. After getting there, we waited nearly 30 minutes for transportation to the drop-off point. The woman at the office was nice and apologized, so we brushed it off. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. When we arrived at the river, everything fell apart. An older gentleman and two teenagers were unloading kayaks, but nobody gave any instructions or directed customers. We stood waiting for another 15+ minutes while they unloaded equipment and chatted. When we finally asked what was going on, they realized they didn't even have enough kayaks or paddles for our group. We were told more kayaks were "already on the way." Meanwhile, we watched other customers launch themselves because nobody was helping them get into the water. There was another group with a 12:30 reservation sitting there with kayaks available, but instead of getting us on the river, we continued waiting. At around 1:35 PM, I called the office and was told it would be another 30-45 minutes. By then we were beyond frustrated. A manager eventually got involved, but instead of apologizing, she seemed irritated that we were upset. After more waiting and more promises that kayaks were "almost there," transportation finally returned around 2:15 PM with additional kayaks. Remember, our reservation was for noon. We had already spent over two hours waiting. The best part of the day was actually being on the river. The river itself was enjoyable, and once we finally got in the water, we had a good time. Then came the ending. When we reached the take-out point, three teenagers were checking people in. One of them stopped another group and immediately started asking for names so he could charge them a $75 late fee. Their reservation had also been at noon, and they were delayed because of issues caused by the company, not because they were late. The teenager literally told them that wasn't his problem. Then they started trying to charge our group the same $75 late fee. Absolutely not. After multiple customers complained and the manager was called, they finally admitted we didn't owe anything. The entire situation could have been avoided with basic organization, communication, and customer service. We had 4 adults, 2 older kids, and 2 younger kids and spent nearly $400. For that kind of money, customers shouldn't spend over two hours waiting because a company failed to have enough kayaks available for scheduled reservations. The river was nice. The staff experience was terrible. I've floated many rivers over the years and can honestly say this was the worst-run kayak rental operation I've ever dealt with.

The staff is super friendly & helpful. We showed up & check-in was quick & easy. The bus took us to the launch point where we got our life jackets & boats. The equipment wasn't brand new but it was in great condition & worked perfectly. The employees at the launch ramp were very organized! The ride along the River has incredible views! It was relaxing & a lot of fun! The other renters were all friendly too! The river was high enough to where we didn't have to get out & walk (we grounded out a time or two) & we even had a couple spots where we picked up some speed! I wouldn't call it white water but we had small rapids!! This was a blast!! It's quite safe while still being a thrilling day adventure!

We enjoyed an amazing float down the Duck River in the River Rats canoes. We got a nice leisurely…read morebus ride and got dropped off up top. We hopped in the canoe and they shoved us off. No boating instructions were given. Ha! That said, all of the boats and equipment were in good working order. We had a peaceful, sunny trip through the water. It's a very calm river with a tiny flow, so you do have to paddle. Two and a half hours later, we were back to the shop and the boys pulled us onto the shore so we could hop out dry. A lovely time and extremely relaxing. Would definitely recommend! Bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and a hat.

We'd never stayed at a campground before, so we weren't sure what to expect. We pulled our boat and…read morewanted to be somewhere on the water with an easily accessible marina so we could travel by water. Prizer Point fit the bill. There's so many facets to this place, so I'll break my review up for each: I'm gonna start the review with the one big downside - we ventured out to the bison prairie on our last day and weren't going to make it back in time to check out. We called and were told we couldn't check out late. We were checking out on a Sunday and the place was DEAD all weekend. No way that many people were coming in. Anyway, it was a physical impossibility for us to get back in time. So they informed is it'd be $25/hr for each hour we were late. Mind you it was $100/night for the cabin we stayed in. Gheez. That alone cost them 2 stars. We felt like they were really sticking it to us. The unfortunate part is this stands out in our memory above the otherwise mostly positive experience. Marina - we rented a covered slip to keep our boat in at night so we didn't have to hassle with pulling it out. The slip was clean, new-ish and very well maintained. We stopped at other marinas around the lake and none were as nice as Prizer Point. The restaurant - we ate there twice. Once for dinner, once for breakfast. The food was just okay. The service was horrendous. There were only a handful of other tables each time, but if you needed something you had to go find someone to get it for you. One time I had to go to the marina counter to get a to go box. No server to be found. The cabin - we stayed in a "suite", which is pretty much like a tiny house. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and the space met our needs. It was actually quite cozy. It wasn't super clean (dusty window sills, mildewed shower curtain), but...It's a campground. It wasn't gross, but it wasn't a Marriott. I'd say it fit with my expectation, maybe even exceeded it. The property - there was so much to do, we didn't have time to do it over a 3 day weekend, but we boated during the day. It seemed clean, well maintained and everyone (others staying) were so nice. Everyone waved, said hello, etc. There are some beautiful lake views all around the property. I only wish we had more time to explore a little more. All in all, I'd say it met our expectations for a campground. We'll likely return at some point in the future, but will be sure to check out on time.

So we loved the overall experience. Kentucky lake is beautiful and Prizer has options for whatever…read morekind of stay you need. Tent sites, RV or Cabins. The entire campground is very clean. The marina is excellently maintained. Everyone around is so friendly. We just had a few hiccups. We booked our reservation the same day around noon so totally understand that it's last minute but we also didn't check in until around 7pm giving them more than enough time to ensure a clean cabin. However they didn't have our reserved cabin cleaned and the one next to it was "clean and ready" but upon getting inside we found tons of dead bugs and mold! Not just in the bathroom but also on the walls at a height where a kiddo or toddler could touch it or be exposed. To me this is unacceptable and a health hazard. We totally understand these are cabins in the woods but there were several empty units amongst us that were unoccupied and I can only hope they aren't dealing with the same level of mold. The only other thing we experienced that was negative was we rented a golf cart for $50 a day for one day but it kept dying even when the battery gauge read as fully operable. We broke down on day one and broke down again on our checkout day and had to leave the cart at another site. I'm hoping Prizer will be accommodating and comp us a future use of one day for the cart issues as I didn't request a refund but also didn't have time to resolve before checkout. The housekeeping manager and all the staff were apologetic and extremely professional which is why we will definitely still give Prizer a chance in the future. So all in all I would be wary of the cabins but everything else seemed well. Next visit we will be booking a bungalow on the water or bring an RV.
