I have always loved going here, however this year I'm done!!!! I reserved the cabin last year, put money on it and now I have no place to camp this weekend! The owner says the people he had running it last year took my money and he is not responsible to honor it. When I'm away from my responsibilities they r still mine and I have to honor, and tend to them!! But he doesn't!!! I have gone every year for 6 years. Their way of business is a joke and now my family and I have to stay home for the 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I go the Capplinger Mills every year they are very nice owners and they maintain the grounds very well. We love the cabins they are always very clean and have everything one needs. We are planing the be there within the next 2 weeks to camp again. We are doing the canoe trip and we enjoy it. Be there soon and yes we know whic to go to.
This is my first trip to the Caplinger Mills Area and thoroughly enjoyed the visit there!! Some good fish coming out of the river and it was interesting to see the remains of the old mill!! The town itself was for the most part residential with no real services to offer!!
It use to be a good place to camp and fish. But now it is to commercialized. It is wall to wall people most weekends. I Like to go camping to get away from most people. If your the same way then this place is not for you. It is very pretty there. There is an old mill there. And the water flows over the old dam the mill used to use. I definitely recommend visiting the place just to see the sites. But for fishing and camping I can't recommend just way to many people
I went with a group of new people I hadn't really hung out with before. There is so much that you learn about people on float trips. Also I hate conoes. The river is a little rough so this is not a river to get wasted on our to bring small children to. The camp site was wonderful and clean. The father up the river you go, the cooler everyone gets. I saw a family that reminded me of home and it bummed me out a little. All in all a good time.
