Base Camp is where the journey begins...right here off Route 313 in Cambridge, NY!

Since 2003, BVO aspires to help make your experience on the Battenkill the BEST!  We provide quality equipment, and a knowledgeable staff. We understand and respect the natural elements so we monitor the weather and river levels daily.

Come embark with us – we are happy to have you experience the Battenkill valley from our perspective!

After a long winter and a very rainy spring, we’re getting things back up and running for the season. We have a new online booking system – check it out! Our full reopening schedule begins Thursday–Sunday starting June 4. We’re excited to see everyone again soon and grateful for your support for this season ahead!
