Our Story

I, Clifford Casavant, purchased the business in February 2019. My passion for helping people, camping, hunting, and fishing has roots going back to my childhood. I bought my first fishing pole when I was in grade school where I used to ride my bike with friends to go fishing in the lakes and rivers around Salisbury, where I grew up.

My father bought me my first shotgun and let me use my grandfather's Winchester Model 94 30/30, and we would often go hunting for large and small game. Later, when I turned 16 and got up to eat breakfast and go to school on my birthday, awaiting me at my spot at the dining table was an application to join the fire department.

This ignited a passion in me, and I later went to college for fire science and then became an EMT, where I found helping others very rewarding. Upon buying Rivers Bend, my passion changed to improving and upgrading the facility to the New “Heaven” I see it as.

Not knowing exactly what I was getting into, I met so many fantastic campers who became the guiding voices to what the campground's personality has become.

Rivers Bend has become a premier, family, securely-gated campground and I am proud to see so many families flourish when there. Once you enter the park under the trestle, you enter a piece of New Heaven where kids can experience a safe place to roam and romp in the river.

Rivers Bend has an amazing crew that helps make this a reality. By my side is my father, who is an amazing man and helped guide me even when I make mistakes with love. My manager is an outstanding compassionate person who puts all efforts into making sure you have a great stay, and the rest of the staff are a blessing.

Thank you for visiting,
