Beautiful camp very clean. The downside is the river was packed with young people drunk, smoking weed, floating along screaming profanities…loud distasteful music… having a jolly old time with no concern for anyone else on the river attempting to get by. We stayed two nights and the first night neighbors were again- drunk, smoking weird.. (is this what all young people amping do anymore??) … lo... Beautiful camp very clean.

We stayed two nights and the first night neighbors were again- drunk, smoking weird.. (is this what all young people amping do anymore??) … loud music till 1 am. The next night was opposite. Sunday the drunks had left and very few campers were left. Leaving normal people who are camping to enjoy time away and nature.. not to get blasted out of their minds….
