Bryan, just so you know, most National Park and Forest Service jurisdictions out here in the west require you to camp at least 100 or even 200 feet (depending on jurisdiction) away from any water source and also from the trail. You therefore will want to avoid stream bank and lake shore camping during your western trip this summer. A lot of mountain streams are plenty loud enough to drown out most other sound even at 200 feet away, if that's any comfort. Since in bear country it's advisable to do your cooking and eating away from the camp site, the creek bank or lake shore is a great place to enjoy your dinner.
