Apple River Hideaway

UNRELIABLEWhether it comes to the management, bathroom services, firewood delivery, bus transportation, tube rental, etc. None of it is unreliable. If you enjoy hidden fees up the ass and confusion like non other, then this is the place for you! Not to mention we payed a mandatory $20 each to even get into the campground because there was a 'festival.' The picture included in this review does not even reflect 20¢ worth of a festival charge. Will never stay here or recommend this place to anyone.SAVE YOURSELVES THE TIME AND MONEY.

I absolutely love this place!!! They are so friendly and everyone who stays there is nice too!! More of a hangout with the adults type of place to me. More than a family place. If I could give this place 10/10 I would. I highly recommend!!!

If you care about the safety of your family don't bring them here. There's a halfway point you get picked up and dropped back off to float the rest and when half our group got separated on different buses they were told that nobody could help them and to just keep floating until they found the rest. They were told that they have an attitude so they couldn't be helped as well as if they were drunk they wouldn't be getting the help they did receive. Ridiculous that when people are asking for genuine help they can't get anyone to just drive them back to the main drop off.

Tubers beware!There are better and more efficient places to go.With six vehicles in front of us, it took 45 minutes before our car and its occupants were checked in to the first of two checkpoints. Although we had completed all paperwork and paid online, we were asked the same questions yet again. Because of this unexpectedly long check-in, one of our cars and two of the would-be tubers had to return home without tubing, for fear that they would be too late for work. The kids working there offered no recourse, nor could we find a way to recover the lost cost of the two tubers and one vehicle that headed back home. The whole experience ruined this part of our family reunion.

They don't let you go down the Rapids anymore. The lady said it's an issue with the people who own the land. They also started charging for your second trip down. The bus driver said it was half price. It used to be free unlimited.

I always enjoy visiting this campground and with the New Owners its even Better. The location offers such a unique, full geographic layout that gives you all different types of sites to camp. Access to the River and Shuttles to the Somerset Concert Venue are huge Pros to staying here and the 2 Giant Water Slides aren't bad Either!

Pros: Its a beautiful area. The river is quite shallow. I think the deepest it might get is 7'. River tubing is really the best way to enjoy it. Keep your butt up! So you don't get hurt. Definitely not a child friendly experience. Which is a pro for me. Mostly just big groups of friends partying and drinking. Cons: Toilets are latrines. Ew! Its 2020, build a decent bathroom structure. The showers are $1 on QUARTERS for five mins. Again, its 2020! What's the loose change thing?? The showers were also quite dirty and in need of an upgrade.

Unfortunately I have to give one star when this place deserves zero.I had a few friends that took the wrong exit off the river. The guys at Rivers Edge were kind enough to drop them off at the Hideaway bus stop. The Hideaway bus driver tells them he cannot bring them to their car and can only allow them to go float back down the river to get there. Keep in mind my friends are a little too drunk. I get called to help figure this out. I am at home. I call the number I got online 2 times at 6:43 pm, after 2 busses have turned down rides for my friends. So I call again at 6:58 and someone answers with "SHOULD I BLOCK YOUR NUMBER?"Me: "I'm so sorry I thought this was Hideaway" Him: "this is but you've called me 15 times and I kept answering and you weren't responding!" (Keep in mine my call long legit has only 3 calls total. Pictured) So long story short the owner is an absolute joke. I have never been yelled at before by an employee like this, manager or anything but this man was THE OWNER. So unfortunately when I asked to speak to a manager to figure things out, I still didn't get anywhere. He continues to yell every response at me, telling me the bus will bring them back to their cars. I actually end up driving out there to wait for the next bus to make sure they get on in. My sister calls the number online later to check when the next bus was coming, for they had been waiting for 2 hours for a bus to bring them back. And HE HANGS UP ON HER AFTER YELLING AT HER.Oh also, there was another group of 4 that had these same issues. I will NEVER EVER take Hideaway. I actually never have. Don't give this jerk your money.

No thanks Went right after Memorial Day They had two kids working We waited an hour and a half to get picked up and called over ten times with no answer. I had to text multiple times just to get a response. It took two hours for us to get back on the river. Probably 10 other guests definitely not enough to make this excusable Never going back and will never recommend.

Dirty. Staff was rude, if you could find them. Women's showers didn't work, the men's was freezing cold water. Pay for a parking pass (in cash) after you pay for camping. Won't be going back.
