    "My favorite place in the world.
    Nice clean lean to, part of a very large open meadow (200' x 500'). Two nearby privies. Good well near 2nd privy.
    wadeable river near well (under bridge)."

    "Spectacular meadow on shelf of land near confluence of two beautful Connecticut rivers. Wonderful layout, great fishing and wading and swimming when current's not too strong. Plenty of choices for camping. Sites are very well-maintained and signed. Somebody evidently has spent a lot of time keeping up the Ten Mile River campgrounds."

    "Beautiful Spot, I saw a great full moon there. The meadow was full of wild flowers and the creek was full of wildlife."
