Canoe Trip 2008 Saturday, May 26, 2007 (16:54:58) Posted by Canoe Master I have a Poll I need answered really quick... Like Now! It was asked of me to maybe find a different Campsite due to the issues we had last year. I think that we are avoiding the biggest one by going one week early and not having to deal with the Flame Girls... I do know for the most part what to expect at Tilden, but there are/was other things like problems getting us up river, and overall issues since she did not have the couple running the camp anymore.. With that said I did track down (With Allen's Help) the place that we always put in the canoes upstream. It's called Creekside Camp. I did talk with them and there are Showers, Bathrooms and a Store, they offer creekside tent camping and canoeing. And it appears that it is a husband and wife running it. Costs are $6 per person per night for camping, kids under 12 are free, and canoes are $35 each. All of this is about equal to Camp Tilden.. The 2 main draw backs I see with this site is: 1) Canoeing - They offer both Up and down Stream, the up stream is not always usable, depends on water conditions. The Downstream we would get out at either Camp Tilden or further down stream. The problem with the Downstream is that we have to be ALL TOGETHER at take out... And since we have people that like to hang back or Drink to much TEA and have to be taxied back to camp everyone will have to wait at the end to get shuttled back to camp. 2) There is only one way in and out of there Camp. And if everyone remembers that is crossing a low water bridge, so if it rains this could become an issue. Thats it... I just need to hurry and call back one or the other and set it up for the trip... Please Vote ASAP... Thanks Canoe Master Content received from: Canoe Central, http://www.canoecentral.net
