These guys are top notch! Super friendly and helpful, they patiently answered allMy questions about selecting a bike rack for my car. Heck, They even helped me install it!! I cannot recommend this store highly enough!!

We had a fantastic experience this morning at Casual Adventure! John and Ashley were super knowledgeable and super helpful! Im still stunned at their expertise and great customer service, as that is so rare today. Not to mention the fact that the store had everything we needed to outfit the kids for camp. Please keep this store in business and cherish your wonderful staff.

Best bench made knives sold here. Love mine. Got it engraved when the rep came in too!

Great helpful knowledgeable staff. Helped me find a sleeping bag and was back a few days ago to find sneakers. Was able to find perfect pair at 50% off. Quality place for all your outdoor needs!

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 dont have what you want on site, they can get it! Pop in! Take a look around you wont regret it!

Excellent knowledgeable sales team, very friendly! Great selection of knives!

Great selection of patagonia gear and others

Eric rules, very good place. Highly recommend.

Great store - great service!

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! 💪

Great store with very helpful and friendly staff.

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 its vibe, selection, prices, straightforward and helpful staff.

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.

Friendly staff who are knowledgeable and make themselves available to answer any questions you have.

Drove an hour for something that we couldnt find in stock anywhere else, got it here and enjoyed checking out everything else in the store! A great find and well definitely be back!

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 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 youre in the neighborhood and looking to buy stuff for the great outdoors!

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

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 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!!

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!!!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

Very friendly staff very helpful with all questions.

Love this place. Its 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. Its 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.

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 its worth it, sampling what works for me. Ymmv

Very friendly and helpful. Some of the best customer service Ive experienced.

Great service and products. Lets support local businesses!

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

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. Im completely pleased shopping there.

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

Exceptional knowledge and friendly service.

Great service! Awesome place!!

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

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

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

Best Store in Arlington! *************************************

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.

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

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 discountI 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..

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

Dana was super helpful, high quality gear!

They are one of the coolest shops in DC!

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

Great store with a healthy selection and really helpful staff.

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 well organized.

Theyre 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, its sad to see a place like this go :/

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.

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

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

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

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

Great local place, hope their new location works.

Nice family business and they have beautiful goods.

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

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.

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

Still open still awesome!

Friendly and knowledgeable staffI 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.

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

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

Helpful folks, great for kids sports and Boy Scout gear

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 wouldnt 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.

This place is shutting down soon. Good sales.

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

Sadly theyre going out of business. They had some nice stuff though.

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

Very Nice Shades

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

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

Great place with an awesome staff

Amazing deals on smartwool!

Excellent products, excellent knowledgeable staff!!

Great selection of gear, friendly service

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

I went there the first time staff werent very nice but I gotta say when I came back it was an amazing experience

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

I normally dont shop for clothes, but when I do I usually shop here.

Its unfortunate that they are closing their doors.

Overpriced. Dont expect to find yourself some good solid outdoor gear here without spending an arm and a leg.

Great selection

Nice

Very well stocked outdoor shop. With the sales, great deals on technical clothing.
