Site 1 - Private Paradise on Rivers Bend
Hidden Gem
First off, I like to say Graham is a fantastic host. Before our trip he sent us a list of locals treats to check out, groceries stores, and some outdoor activities to venture. Wonderful touch! He greeted us on our arrival making sure we enjoyed our site, and had enough wood for our stay (strictly honor system with the wood). The property is absolutely gorgeous, and the river is beautiful. There is various sites to pick from is you want access to the river, for the families or people wanting to swim or fish. Also, there is the sites for the view which is perfect for artist and photographers wanting to capture the perfect view, or a romantic trip with your significant other. Through the many trips we have done, I would say this was by far the most pleasant. We found out hidden gem for our family and will be returning for more trips in the future and recommending this place to our friends. Just book the trip, you won’t regret it!

Tent camping was great. There is other sites nearby but you still have privacy and all the sites have access to the water. Definitely will go back.

Overall, a great experience. Host was very friendly, greeted us upon arrival. Plenty of firewood for cheap, awesome fire pit/grill, great view of the river, and great privacy away from the other sites. My one recommendation is the grading of the site be improved so there is more flat ground to pitch tents. Most of the flat ground is in the immediate area surrounding the fire pit. Anything outside of a 5 foot radius from the fire pit is at a downhill incline.

Everything I Hoped For!
Graham was an exceptional host, greeting me and assuring me he was a call away if I needed anything. The fire ring was super nice, and firewood provided at site a big plus! Would definitely return!!!
