I had THE BEST white water rafting first-time experience at Kosir's! First off, I expressed my fear and anxiety about participating, yet having a strong desire to have the experience. One of their trip leaders who often volunteers on some days just out of the goodness of his heart, Ben, offered up for me to raft with him! It was difficult to take that leap of faith, but he really instantly made me feel very safe and secure. Before I knew it, I was entirely anxiety-free and was coasting and enjoying the float!
I also got to see how helpful and knowledgeable Ben was when rafters got stock on rocks, or even fell out in certain rapids. With ease, him and his 2 fellow trip leads/guides Jake & Mike overlooked over everyone's safety, and assured minimal mishaps; asserted their heroic selves in midst of harms way to rescue and retrieve. Everyone had a blast and got out injury free 😁.
And more so, the world's clumsiest and accident-prone chick didn't even for a second came close to flying out of the raft 🙋🏻♀️🤗
Now I'm spoiled. I really don't know if I could ever get into a raft with anyone else. Ben had such a heightened degree of expertise, I don't know if I'll ever be able to achieve the same confidence in another raft guide🤦🏻♀️
The fact of how amazing their workers and volunteers are, for me is a reflection of the company's decree.
Also, make sure to check out their delicious prime rib! Needless to say, this California girl highly...
Read moreWent camping on memorial weekend. It was the first time we were going camping so I was unsure of what to expect. Kosir is a 3 1/2 hour drive away for us so we didn't end up getting to the campground until late Friday night, which nobody had a problem with...our neighbors didn't complain or anything. We had a great site location...not right on top of each other. Most sights are spaced out pretty well with wooded areas either in between or behind you. The campsite wasn't packed which was surprising for a holiday weekend. The bar was loud and so were the drunk people leaving it but that did't bother us because we are a younger couple and we were pretty tired. Most of the other campers packed up and left at some point on Saturday so by late afternoon we were the only campers on down our road which was awesome. They had ice available...like $3 I think. Didn't get to rafting because it rained otherwise we would have. There are a few bars/food joints down the road and Lakewood (small town) is only 20 minutes for some small town shopping. Staff was helpful and nice. Showers were a bit gross but they did the job. Showers are extra but didn't even use them so can't say much there. Overall we had a blast and loved the site. Great place and...
Read moreKosir’s is the best! Our family has been coming here for decades, and we’ve always had a good experience. I can still remember getting the “safety talk” before Peshtigo rafting when I was a kid.
My wife and I recently visited for camping, kayaking, and a good meal in the restaurant. We got to meet brothers Nick and Dale, who are now running the show. They took over from their father, who I believe took over from another family member, so this place is def family owned and operated. They are making some wonderful upgrades, including a couple nice cabins that should be available to rent out soon. The campsites are all very nice, and the sand volleyball court looked great too.
We got a shuttle from Mike, their step brother, who is super nice and wouldn’t even accept any money for the ride. He was also our server at the restaurant the night before and was very helpful w drink options. If you are looking for a place to camp, eat, or get on the river (do it!), definitely go to...
