4 day camp lodge, WONDERFUL!

Have been on several day-long rafting trips on different rivers w different companies. This was our (mom and 2 kids -9 & 12) first multi-day trip. Was not sure what to expect. It was AMAZING, what a great escape. 4 days on the river, BEAUTIFUL scenery, no road access after the first few hours for the rest of the trip, hardly any of it had jet boats so its rafters and hikers on this stretch of the rogue w no cell or internet. The campsites are lovely. Paradise lodge so much more than I expected. I have a bunch of food restrictions and they were wonderful w accommodations that were super tasty and filling. Our guides were beyond great. Mel charmed and engaged my kids w humor, lots of singing, goofing off, and great insight as to when they needed kidding around or on a few occasions encouragement when they were a bit nervous. You can tell she loves her job, interacting w people, and the river. Nate, a new guide to this river, knew his stuff and despite this being his 4th run on this river we always felt very comfortable as he navigated us down. Brent was BEYOND patient, lead in a manner that was fun and when my kids were solo on kayaks down the river I felt 100% safe, and a great overall leader. And a big thanks to Bama who had every campsite ready to go, getting to the best sites on the river, not sure how he does it. Staff so lovely. The food was great. The equipment top notch. Just wonderful. And the office was great w my calls w random questions before we left. ~TravelKats1234 from Salem, OR
