Spencer's Canoe and Shady Grove Campground

Interesting location with river access (water was kinda scummy, but that's not on them) but basically NO SERVICE. No real directions when you arrive, trash/junk boats all over the place, unlevel campspots, so don't try a campervan without jacks. The bathrooms are pretty nasty, nothing drains correctly, the hosts were unreachable, which we found out after being accosted by hobos who skateboarded to...

The bathrooms are pretty nasty, nothing drains correctly, the hosts were unreachable, which we found out after being accosted by hobos who skateboarded to their campsite. Came by bugging us for beer and cigarettes at 9am. We have planned to stay for multiple nights and left after one.

The owner was very accommodating and very welcoming! It was my first time visiting and wasnt sure how to go about renting kayaks but he made the process seemless! I paid $35 per kayak and the trip itself is about 3 miles long give or take. I cannot emphasize this enough: BRING LOTS OF WATER!!!! Since it was my first time, I didnt realize how long the trip was but I warned you! It is excellent for... The owner was very accommodating and very welcoming!

I cannot emphasize this enough: BRING LOTS OF WATER!!!! Since it was my first time, I didnt realize how long the trip was but I warned you! It is excellent for beginners. It has a few baby rapids in the begining but is smooth sailing from there! We saw some cows along the river too!

Jack was very very nice and helpful! I spoke to him on the phone and in person a few times to get information on their place and fees since they don’t have a website. He was very kind and friendly. The river was running slow so it took us 4 hrs with paddling the majority of the way. $35 for single kayaks and I think $70 for tandem. Camping and restrooms were temporarily closed due to COVID but it... Jack was very very nice and helpful!

Camping and restrooms were temporarily closed due to COVID but it would be a nice quiet place one it’s fully open. Great location and lots of shade. This is not a fancy 5star commercial location. It’s a mom n pop (actually mom n son) place that is convenient with nice people.
