Site 2 - Riverside Camping Kayak & Canoe
One of the best camping sites that I have ever experienced. Large site, with dock. Easy trip into town if you want, but Bryan has everything you could need. I will definitely be camping here again!

Site 4 - Secluded Tent Pond Camping
We love tent camping on Bryan’s land. He was a fantastic host with good directions and suggestions. Everyone was very nice. There were the sweetest animals there to greet you as well. We rented a couple of kayaks and saw some beautiful views and had a wonderful time. We had a view of a pond on our campsite which was very relaxing. Would definitely recommend! :)

Peaceful, waterside sites
This was our second time staying at Bryan's campsite and this place is really special. I love the tall plants and wildflowers that grow all along the edges of the sites, and the view of the water is extremely peaceful. You can watch beautiful sunsets from the dock and watch eagles fly around in the distance. Their business up by the road has farm animals, mining, paddle rentals and lots of interesting stuff and is just fun to walk around, even if you aren't renting a boat to paddle on the river. Be sure to read other reviews about the train (very close and frequent) and the nearby highway to make sure this place will be right for you and your sleeping style. We will be back!
