Not a survey, but just curious of what you like better.
Me, I prefer to camp on a lake, the vistas from the campsite and the ability to go for an evening/early morning paddle into areas seldom visited are what I like.
I have done river trips where there weren't any lakes on the route and the campsites all where riverfront. I never really enjoyed the campsites as much as lakefront, look up the river, look down the river and look across, not as interesting as a lakefront site to me. The sound of the river is nice, but campsites along a rapids are not my thing, too much noise of one type. Can't hear the wind in the trees, loons, birds behind the campsite....
I liked the current puling me along vs. paddling into a headwind across a lake, I don't do white water much so that doesn't draw me to a river.
I guess a combo of river and lake travel is good, as long as I can get that open lake campsite.
What's your preference?
