Great report! I camp along several rivers here in TX, OK, AR and NM. On some trips there are members of the group that prefer tents, this makes campsite options much more difficult for them. Often we will pass dozens of sites perfect for hammocks just to find one that works for a few tents. Worst case during high water, flood times you can tie kayak, canoe between two trees and hang hammock over it as it floats there. Folks in the Amazon do this during the rainy season.

In reply to Bill Whittlesey. Sounds like a great trip! If you want to post a story, send me an email with additional details, photos, and gear used. Thanks!

Just had a 4 day, 45 mile trip down the Suwannee River to the Gulf of Mexico with Boy Scout Troop 808. I along with several of our boys are hammock campers. Its really nice to not be on hard wet ground. We love our hammock camping.

Those hammocks will also keep you above the gators.
