A few steps away from the riverside, where you can still listen to the soft rush of the upriver rapids, the nestled, foothill woodland campsite offers 4 large, smooth and soft tenting areas, shaded under great hemlocks and arching birch trees, a fireplace, table, wood benches and camp chairs. You provide your own tent, sleeping bag, cookware and supplies. On the northeast side of the campsite, just beyond a split rail fenceline, an expansive, green and scenic meadow beckons for exploration, where the horses are free to graze, roll and frolic. Eddy, the Valley's infamous bald eagle, and red tail hawks are often spotted gliding overhead, along with great blue herons, ducks and kingfishers who swoop and chatter up the river corridor.
