Great location. The river nearby is a great sight and surroundings are very peaceful. We found managing mossies and spiders a bit of a problem. Also we're hoping for more kitchen equipments.

About the host

Host profile image
I’ve had #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp since 2013 when I was able to buy back these properties as this land was in my family and had gotten sold and divided up.
I bought my cabin there across the road on 10 acres also where my primitive campsites are … I bought this in 2012 so I had a walking path right of way thru camp.
Sooo I am so grateful to put up my yurts on the river. I’m very small and quaint. I have 7 yurts and 5 tent sites on the river here.
I really enjoy sharing with others the way I grew up - on the river! Which is why I offer tubing.
I’ve owned this property long enough now I get a lot of repeat business and nothing in the world is a finer compliment than this to me!
I love sharing with families then they grow up and bring their family! So come play, relax and enjoy a different kind of vibe with us!

Why they chose this property

Property was in my family years ago

What makes this property unique

I have set up yurts on my property on the river
A very unique setting with an absolute wonderful vibe!
