Campsite #25
Full of nature, so alive,
that was campsite #25,
bear, squirrels, and deer,
water music, twenty feet near.
Pine sentries on upper banks,
different heights, different ranks.
Guarding hidden fissured hallways,
shale plates of ochre, sienna, greys,
exposing the genesis stratum,
of this hidden kingdom.
This road mapped precipice,
sure to entice,
all who venture,
to this wonderment of nature.

Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
Last few words:
This is about a site where I spent two weeks painting a canvas in the David Thompson foothills here in Alberta.(Crescent Falls, Nordeg, Alberta) The painting has been posted on Instagram under #trekkerdekker. That shows what I woke up to every morning there. The warden informed me it was the most coveted site in the campground. True solitude, true silence, true nature, I hope heaven is like this!

Wonderful description
A smooth and enjoyable read.
Just a suggestion
Line three,
"bear, squirrels, and deer,"
try if .. squirrels, bear [s] and deer[s]
works better for you. You don't need to sacrifice the plurals for the sake of the rhyme plus it reads smoother, at least for me.
V. much enjoyed
