点评:I was a solo female tent-camper and I stayed at the Austin Hawes campground for 2 nights. I had an excellent experience. The office is open daily from 9-5 and 2 young women were staffing it during my stay. They welcomed me with a smile, answered all my questions and sold me two bundles of firewood for $7 each.
I camped in site #22 which overlooked the Farmington River. You could hear the river running by all night long. It was very peaceful.
I did not know that this portion of the river offers excellent fly fishing, so it looked like something out of an Orvis Catalog as men (they were all men) in waders with serious fly fishing gear often passed by or were standing in the shallow river doing their thing.
It is important to know that BLACK BEARS ran through the campsite at night. (The young women in the office had warned me to be careful with my food, and that bears were often sighted). I am an experienced camper and left no trace of food anywhere near my tent, fire or picnic table. The bears did not bother me. I heard they spooked one family who blew some airhorns, then packed up and left in the middle of the night.
There are 2 bathhouses, but one was locked because it is currently under construction. I had no trouble using the 1 that was open for campers. There are 2 female (private) showers, 2 male (private) showers, 2 bathroom sinks and 3 toilets in each house. I had no trouble using them and the facilities were clean.
All-in-all, it's a beautiful, but very rustic (no electricity) campsite. I look forward to returning in the future.
翻译:我独自一人露营,在奥斯汀·霍斯露营地住了两晚,体验非常棒。营地办公室每天早上9点到下午5点开放,我入住期间有两位年轻女士值班。她们热情地接待了我,耐心解答了我所有的问题,还以每捆7美元的价格卖给了我两捆柴火。
我的营地是22号,可以俯瞰法明顿河。整晚都能听到河水潺潺流淌的声音,非常宁静。
我之前并不知道这一段河水是绝佳的飞钓场所,所以看到穿着防水裤、携带专业飞钓装备的男士们(他们都是男士)经常从河边经过,或者站在浅浅的河水中垂钓,感觉就像是从奥维斯(Orvis)的商品目录里走出来一样。
需要注意的是,黑熊晚上会穿过营地。(办公室的年轻女士提醒我注意保管好食物,并告诉我经常能看到熊。)我是一位经验丰富的露营者,在帐篷、篝火或野餐桌附近都没有留下任何食物残渣。熊并没有打扰我。我听说熊吓到了一家人,他们鸣响了气喇叭,然后在半夜收拾东西离开了。
营地有两个浴室,但其中一个因为正在施工而上锁了。我顺利地使用了另一个开放的浴室。每个浴室里都有2个女性独立淋浴间、2个男性独立淋浴间、2个洗手池和3个马桶。我使用这些设施都很方便,而且都很干净。
总而言之,这是一个风景优美但非常原始(没有电力供应)的营地。我期待着将来再次光临。
