Our comment from TraTraTravel about Outdoor Recreation:

Outdoor Recreation is a fantastic resource for military personnel and their families, offering a wide variety of rental equipment and services for outdoor activities.

Many users have expressed their appreciation for the friendly and helpful staff, with specific mentions of employees like Mercedez and Perry, who received high praise for their customer service skills. This level of care helps create a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that visitors feel supported in their recreational needs.

Customers have enjoyed the extensive selection of high-quality equipment and great prices, especially for discounted tickets to attractions like Disneyland and other local outdoor excursions.

However, there have been some concerns regarding the quality of rental equipment, particularly a few reports of unusable snowboards and tough experiences renting canoes. Some users noted that equipment maintenance could be improved to avoid such issues.

Despite these complaints, the overall experience remains positive, and many recommend Outdoor Recreation for its variety of services and excellent customer support.

In summary, Outdoor Recreation is a commendable choice for military individuals seeking adventure supplies, community, and great deals.

Negative experience: DO NOT RENT EQUIPMENT HERE! We paid $100 for a snowboard rental that ended up being completely unusable. The bindings would not tighten to the board and rotated when you attempted to ride it. This not only made the board difficult to ride, but it's also a huge safety risk to use a board with unsecured bindings. Upon returning it and asking for a refund for the broken snowboard, we were told that "We know it's a terrible design and we're trying to get fixed but they just do that and there's nothing we can do." We were refused a refund. So basically, they know that their equipment doesn't work but still rent it out anyway and refuse to refund it. We not only lost the $100 on the rental, but also drove 3+ hours to the mountain and back just to not be able to use it.

Outdoor Recreation

Hi Korbin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent rental experience with us. We apologize that our equipment didn't quite meet your expectations. We understand that $100 for a 4-day rental may seem expensive, but we'd like to assure you that our prices are competitive with other resorts in the area.



Regarding the performance of our rental gear, we appreciate your feedback and would like to explain that our equipment is designed to accommodate a wide range of users and boot sizes. While it's true that rental gear may not offer the same level of precision as personal gear, we take pride in maintaining our equipment to ensure it's safe and functional for all our customers.

We've inspected the board you rented, and while we didn't find any issues with the bindings, we appreciate your input and will take it into consideration for future equipment maintenance. We strive to provide the best possible experience for our customers, and we regret that we didn't quite hit the mark in your case.

Thanks for your feedback, and we hope to see you on the slopes again soon.

Fantastic experience: Sorry for the late review!! We went into this facility on 2/14 to check out rental items. We were approached by a gentleman named Perry, his customer service was REMARKABLE! He was very tentative, kind, and his knowledge about the products were ON POINT! Although we didn’t rent anything his way of conversing was very natural and that’s very rare to find these days. I just wanted to say thank you for everything! Hands down the best customer service we’ve had in a while! Keep it up Perry!!!

Outdoor Recreation

Hi GW, what website were you using? We have had a couple websites in the past that we no longer use. Our current website is www.travis-odr.com

In the future, if you have issues with our website, please feel free to call us at 707-424-0969, and we can try to help you out.

Positive experience: The staff is friendly and helpful and the price is great! The only reason for 4 stars instead of five is that some of the pieces are loose and one of the belay machines is broken

Outdoor Recreation

Hi Dixie, thanks for the review! We apologize for the inconvenience of the auto-belay being down, but it is currently out for its annual inspection. It's a bummer not having all 3 up, but the manufacturer is making sure everything is still as it should be.

In terms of loose holds, please feel free to report these to staff, and we will tighten them. There shouldn't be any holds on the routes currently loose, but there are some old holds that are stuck on the wall, and are difficult to remove. Sometimes holds do come loose though, and if you let us know, they'll be fixed right away.

Thanks so much for coming to climb, and we look forward to seeing y'all here again!

John and Lara Y 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Yolanda is a great resource. If you stop in for ideas, especially if you can't make the group tours, she will give you all the info you need to create your own trip. In case you miss her, sharing the info she gave us. Her recommended winery: Sterling Winery, ($35 for self guided winery sampling and tour, great views going up in an air tram). Best way to go to San Fran: Take the ferry from Vallejo to San Francisco at 10am on Sat/Sun, (try for Sat to make it to Farmers Market), parking $7 and one way ticket $15. We didn't have time for the jelly bean factory tour and oil and wine market nearby in Fairfield but will do it next time. Thanks Yolanda!
