Kumsheen exceeded my expectations in every possible way! My friends and I camped overnight and did a half-day rafting excursion the following afternoon. Before our trip, the customer service team answered all of my questions over email, and were very friendly and helpful. The grounds themselves are beautiful – situated right above the river, the view is gorgeous. There are some trains that might pass through the riverside tracks, but I didn’t find it too loud at all and they do provide free ear plugs at reception in case you’re sensitive to that kind of sound at night.
The campsite is clean, potable water is available in a central location, and there are multiple sites where you can play volleyball or basketball etc (I believe you have to bring your own ball). Their pool and hot tub are well taken care of, and was quite fun on a hot day. At the pool area, they have a reasonably-priced drink stand, along with a gazebo sitting area where an incredibly-talented musician performed from 8-11 pm.
The rafting the next day was worth every penny! It was a colder day, and wetsuits/rain jackets/rain pants were provided. Our rafting guides were friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly very experienced, as we caught an impressive number of white water waves and whirlpools. They made sure that everyone got a chance to sit at the front of the raft for at least a few white water areas, so everyone gets splashed equally (if you’re up for it!). Plus, the photos and videos they take of the rafting are provided free of charge, which was a wonderful surprise.
I seriously can’t say enough good things about the resort. 110% recommended!
