Shuttle Services

 

At Campbell’s we’ve made it easy for those who wish to use their own watercraft on the river. We will help “spot” your car at any point downstream you wish. Choose from a one day trip or camp overnight at one of the many camp sites available.

How it works:

Car spotting allows you to enjoy the river on your own time. Simply unload your watercraft(s) at Campbell’s dock, follow our shuttle driver to your end destination of choice to park your vehicle(s). From there, our driver will pick you up to bring you back to Campbell’s dock to begin your trip. Your vehicle will be waiting for you at the end of your trip making load up easy!

What to know:

  • We do not require reservations for shuttle services except for our 9:30am Smith Trip. You will simply arrange and pay for the shuttle service once you arrive here. Shuttles depart by demand around the clock.

  • In order to park, launch, or take out from our shop at Campbell’s Canoes, you must either be a paid rental customer or use our shuttle services. All shuttle fees include the launch of two watercraft. Additional watercraft are at a launch/facility fee of $5 each.

  • Most of the access sites are used by multiple river users, private paddlers, commercial paddlers, drift-boats, etc. When unloading your watercraft to start you trip, please do not park your vehicle in front of the water access. Unload your canoes and kayaks off to the side, and only place your watercraft in the launching area when you are prepared to immediately launch. If you have a large vehicle and trailer, please do not plug up the landing or traffic flow areas.

  • When you have finished your trip, if you are not prepared to immediately load, please move your watercraft out of the landing to the stacking area. The landings can become congested very quickly if watercraft are left at the water's edge. When loading your canoes or kayaks, park off to the side of the access site as to not block traffic or plug the landing area. Please be courteous to others and move your vehicle out of the landing area as soon as possible. Leave no trash at any landing unless in receptacle.
