Food and Camps

The Pleasures of Camping
Enjoy comfortable camps on soft sandy beaches. Relax in the shade or swim in the river, play horseshoes or cribbage, nap on the beach or hike a scenic side canyon. Try your luck at fly fishing or panning for gold.

Enjoy playful otters, chipmunks and squirrels. Marvel at gravity defying bighorn sheep and mountain goats clinging to sheer granite cliffs hundreds of feet above the river. Watch deer and elk feed in meadows of larkspur and lupine. Glimpse roly-poly black bears munching huckleberries in shady side canyons.

Gourmet Food on the River
From the time you embark with us, wholesome and mouth- watering Dutch oven meals add a special delight to your wilderness vacation. Toast marshmallows with friends around glowing campfires or watch in wonder as your guides create delicious Dutch oven cuisine. Dine on smoked prime rib, Cajun chicken with mango salsa, crisp salads and fresh fruit. Dutch oven desserts and breads are always camp favorites, but our homemade huckleberry ice cream hand churned on the Salmon, is a special river treat. Below is a sample of our menus!

Meals Provided / Dietary Considerations
From the put-in to the take-out, K-Bear River Adventures, Inc. provides all meals, snacks, fresh drinking water, and a limited supply of beverages and mixers. We supply extra ice, and are happy to haul additional beverages for our guests, as space allows. Please make arrangements for this in advance. We will make every attempt to offer meals that will satisfy each guest's individual needs. However, space is very limited. Let us know, well in advance, if you have any special dietary requirements.
