Really enjoyed the site. Staff was helpful. Plenty of space between sites. Clean and stocked facilities.

Great campground. We (my son's, brother in law, nephews) have been coming here since 2016. Great location on the Farmington river. We kayak and fish the area lakes. Lots of space and privacy between sites. Cabins have electric. Staff is always pleasant and bathrooms are clean. My only issue is that the bathrooms need de-cobwebbing and a scraping and painting on the interior masonry.

The camp sites are nice and wooded with the river right beside. If you’re looking to fly fish; this is an ideal location (lots of anglers in the river). However, the camp office closes at 6pm, so if you have an issue (like another group taking your registered campsite - which happened to us), you have to call an emergency number which isn’t meant to receive calls like this. Or, if there is a group that is playing loud music until 5:30am (which also happened), there is no one around to monitor. You also can’t buy firewood and ice after 6. Additionally, presumably since there aren’t staff after hours, the restrooms aren’t kept up (nor was the overflowing trash). Also, the public water spigots weren’t working in the camp loop, which wasn’t told to us - the road is also right next to the loop. We still enjoyed the forest and river, but I wish I knew some of these things about the vibe of the camp!
