Great location amongst the trees but only minutes from town. The room, showers and bathrooms were super clean. The outdoor shower and hot tub were so very nice, soaking at night below the stars doesn’t get much better. Everything about this was a 10/10, communication and directions were spot on. Didn’t get to meet Veena and David but highly recommend their place and will definitely stay again when in the area.

We (family of 4) absolutely enjoyed our weekend getaway at Camp Caz! What a beautiful setting and cozy cabin- and Carrie has thought of everything you might need during your stay. We appreciated the downloadable and detailed app-handbook that answered any and every question, the well-equipped kitchen, the variety of board games, exploring the creek, and all the nice details. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Camp Caz is the most magical cabin / river / forest experience. I don’t want to give a review because I want to keep it all to myself! The cabin vibe is so cool, the bathtub under the hanging vines is amazing, the hike down to the river is energizing, the beach and river with inner tubes is perfect. My 9 year old saw a blue tail skink, butterflies, crawdads, dragonflies, fish and tons of salamanders in the water! Can’t wait for next year.
