    Planning a kayaking & camping trip input needed

    the ranger will tell you if there are fire restrictions or not, it can vary. you need to be prepared with a cook stove, in case fires are restricted. BTW hampton to lower is kind of a short run, making lower to batsto the next day that much longer. If you can work out the shuttles, paddle...
