There are Amercian made tents and they are really good and really expensive. There are some tent making companies that sew their own but they cannot compete with the prices on the stuff that comes into the US and is sold in the major outfit stores. There are some small tent makers in the Northeast and the Northwest and the best thing I can suggest is that you contact some specialty camping store (small one that specializes in camping or climbing) and ask them. Outdoor products are kind of phony in that the "outfittrs" wear a great big green, happy, face and pretend that they are saving the planet but they are buying their products are dirt prices from countries that ar nonunion, sweatshop labor havens. Kind of the like the outdoor magazines that have a V8 SUV ad on every third page. And campers/hiking/outfitters etc are just as tough on the earth as other industries but they have feel good days because they pretend they are not buying equipment made with manmade fibers manufactured by petro chemical industries that have no environmental controls. You can buy materials and sew your own if you want to be a purist and there are guides and pattersn available for that too. Or you can buy cheapo imports but you have to pretend is all very moral.

I have Tent camped at Lake Cachuma near Santa Barbara. Although it isn't a river, it is very nice to camp there. gets very warm during the day, but cools off nicely in the Evenings. They have an outdoor theater and a swimming pool. There are boat rentals and fishing.
