Horseshoe Bend Marina & Campgrounds

We rented kayaks from here. It was a little confusing to book as we were told it was first come first serve, but when we got there they said we could have reserved kayaks beforehand. We ended up with a tandem kayak. The staff told us where to go for a “secret” waterfall. It was really beautiful and we were there by ourselves for an hour and a half. We then kayaked past the beach and to the twin falls. There was also another spot with a fairly large waterfall. We went after lots of rain so there were tons of little waterfalls. Me and sister are fairly fit and have kayaked previously and we were surprised how hard it was to kayak to the twin falls - not sure if it was windy, or the current from the dam but in both directions until we got to the beach, it was a pretty tough paddle. We did not paddle too close to twin falls…and I am unsure of the rules around getting close. As soon as we got there, the alarm sounded which indicates the dam is releasing water. After this, the current was too strong to get close.

The perfect place for a weekend getaway with friends! Camping amenities were wonderful and the managers are helpful with whatever you need. Also I recommend renting one of their kayaks and checking out the falls nearby!

The hosts are very generous and friendly. Camp sites are maintained nicely. It's right on the water with amazing views. Kayak rentals available. Super awesome waterfall about a mile by water from the campground.

Super cute hidden 💎! Friendly staff and very welcoming. Told us of the close waterfalls to kayak to and exactly where to go. We stayed during the week and was the only ones there. Peaceful and quiet

Not only did I get to glamp in the dreamy tent, but Horseshoe Bend Marina also offers Campsite Crudité service to your site! Since we were only there for one night, and truly needed some downtime we chose not to cook and to select-in to the crudité option + wine and home-made breakfast burritos to warm on the fire for the morning. One night is not enough btw, staying a couple of nights would be ideal so you have time to fully unwind, grab some time on the rental kayaks and enjoy the stars that we rarely get to see in the city. All of our interactions were socially distanced, masks are worn indoors, and the bathroom spaces were kept very clean for camper safety. Thanks for having us Horse Shoe Bend Marina!
