Site 1 - Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

Beautiful landscape view

This was an amazing place and beautiful! Very quiet and private, and so vast. The river access (site #1) was awesome and peaceful. Note the sand is very fine so prepare extra towels / wipes to clean your tent / camper if you have a wet dog or wet feet. It was too cold for us to hop in but the water is very clean. Great fishing access. Graham went an extra step to leave some fire starter / cardboard, and drove by to greet us when he was out on his tractor. Very nice family. The sites are not visible from each when you’re settled, but you might see them as you drive up to your site.

Site #4

We loved staying at campsite #4! The river was beautiful and the sure was perfect for us. A perfect blend of privacy, quiet, and easy access. The fire pit was awesome and had a great grill plate. Graham stopped by to Nate sure we had wood for the night and the other sure were around the river before so we felt all alone. We will be back soon!!

Beautiful spot

Really nice spot. Beautiful little river and setting. Great spot for dogs. Graham was super friendly and welcoming. Firewood was dry and fairly priced. We were just passing through for a night and this spot was perfect. Would also recommend for a longer stay if you’d like to explore the area. Seemed like there was a lot of outdoor activities to be enjoyed :)

Site 1 was one of the most beautiful camp sites we’ve ever stayed in. Our dogs had the times of their lives. We had a overall wonderful experience.
