The camp and the surrounding areas were very clean. I was impressed with the camp host’s knowledge of the river and access.She was very friendly and eager to show me the camp layout. Fishing at first light is one my favorite activities. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

We reserved a group spot, it was clean and posted with our name on arrival. The plumbed bathrooms are a bit of a walk and they seem to have removed the ice machine but otherwise everything was functional and clean.
