So much fun. We hadn’t been for a while and since one of the members of our group hadn’t been thought we would give him a fun time. They are so accommodating and always happy to help any way that you might need. Not a camper, but their camp ground was clean and you have a view of the river. The Smooth Rapids restaurant is also very good. They have outside sitting which is nice. We took the short trip, but next time going for the long one. This is a must if you are in town. My husband and I are mid 70’s and it was a Funtime for us also. Hope to see you on our river which is clear and beautiful.

We have kayaked here several times. We decided to tent camp and kayak Oct 16. The river was very visible from our site. The site was clean, quiet and the port o potty was very clean and kept stocked with tp. There are very nice campers set up for those who like to glamp. Those are rented through Airbnb. It was a quaint, more intimate camping spot so the noise level was perfect. We ate dinner at their restaurant one night and the food was very good, the staff was friendly and the whole set up is just convenient. They definitely have a great gig going on and we are so glad we found them. The river was a little low so our kayak ride was not as smooth. This normally would not have mattered but it was only 62 degrees and I DID NOT WANT to tip. Over all, we had an awesome weekend and will definitely return.

Best kept secret in camping and kayaking. Staff goes above and beyond, the kayaking is awesome, and the restaurant is just the icing on the cake. Not 5 star camping facilities, but that is actually a huge part of the charm. We absolutely love everything about this place.

Great time. Signed up & paid online, just checked in when got there and they had clean Kayaks ready. We floated& paddles, stopping along the way to swim. When got to boat dock, we pulled up kayaks and called them & they picked us up in 15 min and took us back to our Jeep. Very relaxing and nice staff

The service was SLOW, over 30 min to get drinks (waters, tea and coffee) then another 25 min to order dinner. All the dinners (6 adults and 2 kids)
were overcooked, inc a BLT sandwich. It was awful.

Great flatwater float trip, no skill required. Watch the trees for fish hooks and bring beverages and snacks - maybe a speaker for your phone? Relaxing hike without walking. They have everything you need but bathing suits.

we 100% recommend Smooth Rapids Outfitters! If you are wanting a day on the river then this is the folks you need to visit. We reserved and paid for ours online and when we got there we checked it and they took the kayaks to the river behind their store and got started on our relaxing day. It was that easy! When we reached our destination, we gave them a call and they came picked us us and took us back to our vehicle! Give them a call, I promise you won't be disappointed

I was really surprised at how clean and beautiful this river in Mcminnville, TN that we kayak on this past weekend. We went with a large family group of around 25 people and Smooth Rapids was able to accommodate us. I highly recommend if you're local to take the afternoon and kayak down the river! You won't be disappointed if the weather is nice its a great relaxing time. This is also a very easy river and mostly shallow for beginners.

Great little campground. Lots of level ground. Great for camping & kiddos running around playing. Lots going on at this campground with a outfitter store in progress. They also offer kayak and inner tube rental.
