If reservation holder doesn't show up by then, the site is released. Hookups and potable water are not provided.

What Guests Are Saying

Roza is a charming spot with good access to the river and a calmer atmosphere compared to nearby locations like Lmuma Creek. While there are some concerns about ticks and bees during certain times of the year, the overall experience is positive. It serves well as a pit stop or a place to launch a boat.

This is mostly a place to take your boat out of the river or a pit stop to somewhere else. No trails or anything and when we went in May there were so many ticks.

Great little spot with access to the river. It's at a calmer exit point than further up the river like Lmuma Creek site. There was quite a few bees in the bushes behind my tent (mid Aug) but manageable.
