What Guests Are Saying

Roza is a charming location with access to the river, offering a calmer atmosphere compared to busier sites like Lmuma Creek. The camping spots are well-liked, providing a pleasant experience overall. Some bees were noted in the bushes nearby in mid-August, but they were manageable.

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.
