Casual Adventure Review

Like a tiny local REI. Great selection at reasonable prices with a helpful and knowledgeable staff.

I needed a specialty outdoors item last minute and found this place. Super helpful and friendly and had everything I needed!

Helpful folks, great for kids sports and Boy Scout gear

Great store, solid selection. Family run, very helpful.
Had a few things I needed, had just run out of stock on the other. Took my number and made a special order to get the rest of my list.
Great place

Super friendly and helpful staff always looking to lend a hand. Perfect for grabbing all of your Boy Scout and Girl Scout gear.

Awesome store with most of the top brands Staff are great people with a lot of knowledge and they're eager to help!

Small outfitter with 5-11 tactical and a few other brands I like. Staff was always friendly.

Dude was super friendly and helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and made sure we had all the pieces. They have a good selection of stuff, I will go back to round out my camping gear!

This store is OPEN, I do not know why google is saying it is closed it is OPEN!!!! Normal Hours
M-F 9:30am-9pm SAT 9:30am-6pm SUN Noon-5pm.

Recently moved to Arlington and was happy to find this local store. I ve shopped at CAO 5-6 times in the last 4 months and have found the staff friendly and helpful each time.

This store is a great local camping and sporting goods store. You can always find someone to help and they have an amazing array of stuff considering their size.

The staff was super helpful and filled up our soccer ball for free!

Just moved to DMV area, first time visit the store, didn t buy anything and the owner greet the customer warmly. This store gave me a nice vibe.

Casual Adventures is the go-to place for any outdoor gear you may want. Staff are singularly knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Gus took great care of me today, and I ve recommended this place to friends. You won t be disappointed.

Super helpful staff!

They really took the time to have my 9 year old son pick out the right bat. He feels so much more confident with his new gear. Looking forward to watching him crush it at games.

Thank you so much, Casual Adventure Outfitters!!!

Best outdoor Company in AMERICA #shoplocal. They can outfit you from Great Falls to Nepal

John and Eric were extremely helpful! It was a very simple process. While I sat in my car they worked on the Thule Hullavator Pro roof rack system. It took them a little over an hour. I was trying to figure out how to pull the lift system down and they were able to guide me on FaceTime saving me a trip back!

An amazing store to get quality winter jackets for great prices. The employees were some if the most knowledgeable and helpful people. If you plan on going camping, gift shopping or just need something for yourself this is the place to go

What a cool place to shop! From hard-core adventure equipment and clothing to Scouting supplies! The service was exceptional. The selection is excellent. Convenient location with Plenty of Parking. If they don't have what you want on site, they can get it! Pop in! Take a look around you won't regret it!

Very helpful staff found me a good pair of hiking boots. This is pretty much the closest camping supply store to District dwellers.

A top-notch outdoor outfitter for active sportsmen. Not inexpensive, the inventory of clothing seems to favor small, trim, petite people, while I prefer a larger generous cut for layering. They are willing to order anything if it is not available in your size

The best the DMV has to offer. Quality products, affordable prices. Excellent employees who go the extra mile. I have bought several things from them, look forward to returning soon. Customer for life!!

Friendly neighborhood small business! Lots of gear, seasonal clothes... kinda pricey but worth it. Support local small biz!

Pricey. But they have what you need! Sad to see them going out of business.

Fantastic customer service and fair prices. I highly recommend them.

Eric always comes through with the great gear I need for outdoor sports.

Family owned, top quality service and items.
Everyone there is knowledgeable about ALL the products they offer. The staff is great and go above and beyond to get you just what you need. I'm completely pleased shopping there.

They pack a lot of what you'll need into a small space. The set up can be a bit confusion, but it's fun to wander through. However, some prices seemed a little high.

I went there the first time staff weren't very nice but I gotta say when I came back it was an amazing experience

Sadly they're going out of business. They had some nice stuff though.

Such an awesome little shop with a great staff. No idea how they have such competitive pricing but this will now be my first stop before online or REI. The world needs more little stores like this.

Great place with great gear, sadly they are going out of business.

I was advised on quick dry clothing for my 8 day biking trip to the NL. My purchases were perfect. Wonderful advice.

Been there before, went in looking for water purification and filtering options. Ended up buying one of each type thing to see what works for me, and never know when and where I could get replacement filters, etc. Totalled way more than expected. Phone rang multiple times, loud music near hammocks, but Bruce Springsteen so not that painful, and tired of talking by then anyways, interrupting sales guy, which got annoying. Only one in the place and glad they are open but seems like could have gotten cheaper at say Walmart. I do support local businesses, but at $158 or so ( for 2 jugs, one big filter, one straw like filter, tablets and container cleaners) chlorine, iodine tabs and biologicals, causes money problems for a while... Interesting stuff, will see if it's worth it, sampling what works for me. Ymmv

This can give Ben what he needs to play naked basketball in his room with his dad. Seriously though, it s a great store and I m sad to see it go.

Always had a nice selection. Sad to be seeing them go. Even when I visited during their going out of business sale, they were very friendly and we'll organized.

Small family biz, been around for nearly 50+ years. Eric the owner showed us around and shared his vast knowledge of gear with us. Free Osprey pack fitting. And the chacos were on sale!

Thanks Eric for a great experience

Great service and products. Let's support local businesses!

Very friendly staff very helpful with all questions.

Love this place. It's a little small, so I had previously chosen REI or EMS because I thought they would have a better selection, but after an awesome article about them in Arlington Magazine and then when EMS closed, I started coming here. It's awesome. Great selection, they can (and will!) order anything and it arrives in about a week, and perfect for all the camping gear your kids and scouts could want, as well as all the actual BSA scout stuff they are required to have. They really know their stuff, and the customer service is awesome. Highly recommend.

Fun, local shop with a great selection of recreational gear. Competitive pricing with REI and other big chains.

Great store, the cashier was super helpful with finding stuff, and it was a great experience overall. Will definitely be coming back to this store and buying more outdoor stuff. Awesome place, definitely check it out if you're in the neighborhood and looking to buy stuff for the great outdoors!

Nice family business and they have beautiful goods.

Excellent products, excellent knowledgeable staff!!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff
I needed some new socks to go with my new Belelville boots. Nice deal on the SmartWools (buy 3 pairs, get 4th free). They had a style I liked but I needed it in green for duty w/ the military. No sweat. Manager looked up the warehouse and ordered me 4 pairs in green.

I normally don't shop for clothes, but when I do I usually shop here.

The sales rep that I talked to was really helpful and informative! I get to pick some great gears for hiking!

It's unfortunate that they are closing their doors.

Great local store that has good prices and everything you need for the next adventure

A local business with over 63 years supporting everything from backyard to extreme adventures. There is a wide variety of outdoor gear from excellent brands. There are helpful staff that are experienced in the equipment and can provide great advice. A great place to shop with it's vibe, selection, prices, straightforward and helpful staff.

Outdoor shop very well stocked. With sales, good deals on technical clothing.

Been going here since I was in the scouts for most of my outdoor needs. The real deal

Great store with a healthy selection and really helpful staff.

I love going to this store. There selection is good, the staff knowledgeable, friendly , and helpful. And the prices are good

I bought a great pair of Saloman hiking sandals here, and I tried on excellent hiking boots and backpacks. Sales people were very knowledgeable and helpful. They took time to make sure I got the product I wanted, and did an excellent job providing me with appropriate options. I am not an outdoorsman so I didn t know where to start, or what to look for. The people in the store gave me great options for buying shoes and a backpack. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for outdoor equipment and accessories whether you re an experienced outdoorsman or novice.

Very friendly and helpful. Some of the best customer service I've experienced.

Casual Adventure is open in its current location until the end of 2017.

They're having a huge going out of business sale on everything in stock and as of yesterday they still have a ton in inventory. Top of the line products too, it's sad to see a place like this go :/

Overpriced. Don't expect to find yourself some good solid outdoor gear here without spending an arm and a leg.

Local institution. They have been part of the community for decades

Bought a Easton mako bat from here. The bat cracked, Eric stern allowed me to swap my broken bat for a off the shelf bat so I wouldn't have to wait for 2 weeks for the new one to come from Easton and needing to be broken in. Then just bring the return to him. Unbelievable!!! No other sporting goods store would ever do that type deal. I will never go anywhere else until I check with them first.

Some discounted stuff bought there,
went looking for shorts, with many pockets,
Columbia expensive,
and not in my size,
but they had 511 (tactical uniform like)
and one 3xl on discount
I bought 2 different ones, for comparison...
and there were store labelled root beer for a time,
plus boy scout stuff, for like cycling badges,
how to field manual, maps guides etc.
Used to be a cycle the c&o canal,
covered 5+ districts,
and would be a freeish camping option,
for learning..

The folks who work here are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Now is the perfect time to stock up on off-season winter gear.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Glad I found this local gem.
