This River is brown, like many others around, but it has its own appeal.

Me and my ex husband's family has been camping in cranberry 39 years or more. It was our happy place. Wonderful memories. Got excited when the bears would throw the lids off the garbage cans. Since my ex husband has passed away I haven't been there much. My daughter is carrying on the tradition of taking my grandkids there. Hope to get to going back soon.

The small camping spots along the river should not be pay spots because we already pay for the national Forest. That's making us pay double and that's not fair. Someone should reconsider this extra charge. Ex- camper
