The camp hosts were among the best we've ever had. They cared, they were kind, they kept things clean and beautiful. The area is gorgeous! The only suggestion I might have is that in some pf the spots I know this is the forest but some could be trimmed slightly better to enhance the beautiful view of the river. Also regarding spot number 11 which we moved to after 4 days in 04 we had two different people walk up from within the woods saying they were coming up from the river which we couldn't even see in that spot and walk directly up from the woods into and through our camp, this made me scared to even stay the night in this spot wondering what was happening and why are they doing that???
