A quick evening paddle and overnight (9/04/17) on the river to experience the nearly full moon over the water and check out the new campsite. Success on both accounts.

Okay, there's more to this campsite than a nice privy. It has a staircase up the bank for access, no picnic tables, but 2 very large tent platforms and the aforementioned privy, which is fully enclosed and state of the art. No fires allowed. The area is very nice. You could hear some road noise, but not too much.
