Best recent camping experience was on an unnamed river in Oregon. We floated around 85 miles to celebrate my 65th birthday. The campsites were large , around an acre above the river under ponderosa pines. Very sandy and all were totally clean because it is a wild and scenic river. Fires only in a fire pan, all human waste has to be packed out.
All the wildlife was there, bald eagles, large herds of elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, otters, beaver, mink; blue herons you name it.
A fawn walked up to me while I was taking a nap. The food was great. I baked a cake in a Dutch Oven. I was surrounded by good friends including my brother. The way all trips are supposed to be.
